In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
She turned me on
But now I'm shaking
She shoots it in
And I keep taking
They don't see
She's down with me tonight
(Time to push off)
[Chorus]
She's such a rush
She's such a crush
She's one in a million
She's such a rush
Can't get enough
She's pumping through my veins
She's too fun to be so gone with me
Too good to be true to me
She's over my head
She's all I need
I'm so strung out
She's out of my league
They don't see
She's down with me tonight
(Time to push off)
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, she's too good to be true
I'm hooked up and into you
Can't you see she's the sweat on the sheets?
Can't you see she's all that I need?
Can't you see she's all that I see?
[Chorus]
Too good to be true to me
Too good to be true to me
But now I'm shaking
She shoots it in
And I keep taking
They don't see
She's down with me tonight
(Time to push off)
[Chorus]
She's such a rush
She's such a crush
She's one in a million
She's such a rush
Can't get enough
She's pumping through my veins
She's too fun to be so gone with me
Too good to be true to me
She's over my head
She's all I need
I'm so strung out
She's out of my league
They don't see
She's down with me tonight
(Time to push off)
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, she's too good to be true
I'm hooked up and into you
Can't you see she's the sweat on the sheets?
Can't you see she's all that I need?
Can't you see she's all that I see?
[Chorus]
Too good to be true to me
Too good to be true to me

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I agree Jefftheheff, but I think it links more with heroine.
"She shoots it in And I keep taking"
Talking about shooting up, with a heroine syringe.
"Oh, oh, she's too good to be true I'm hooked up When we do what we do Can't you see she's the sweat on the sheets? Can't you see she's all that I need? Can't you see she's all that I see?"
While it fits with cocaine, heroine just seems to fit better. I believe heroine addicts are a bit more addicted than those with cocaine, not limiting cocaine's addictiveness.
