This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
She’s one in a million
Which makes my chances about a million to one
Like finding all the answers to every single question you’ve ever asked yourself
While you’re starring down the barrel of a loaded gun
Life throws a punch and I hit the floor bruised and broken
But still I’m begging for just one more
Call it compassion or satisfaction
But she keeps my heart beating for one beat more
She don’t give me anything to breath about
But safe to say, and in contrast to point
She’s not someone I want to breath about
Don’t go running away from
All the things you’re feeling inside
That’s right, I don’t care if she leaves me gasping for air
But she keeps me coming back for more
She’s harsh in manifold perfectly promising and that’s all that counts
Head over heels -heart over odds
Do you want to know the secret about her?
Yeah, but can you speak up just a little louder?
So come on- Check! Check! Can you hear me now?
And I’ll start fighting my way to the top
I’ve got a long way to go
But I know that I just won’t stop until I’m over and done with
Cold, rotten and gone stiff
Six feet under those sic inch heels
She don’t give me anything to breath about
But safe to say, and in contrast to point
She’s not someone I want to breath about
Don’t go running away from
All the things you’re feeling inside
That’s right, I don’t care if she leaves me gasping for air
But she keeps me coming back for more
So come on- Check! Check! Can you hear me now?
So come on- Check! Check! Can you hear me now?

She’s not someone I want to breath about
Don’t go running away from
All the things you’re feeling inside
That’s right, I don’t care if she leaves me gasping for air

Gentle Hour

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,

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
the title is a chris farley quote, for those who didn't know
yeah, alot of their song titles come from movies, this title came from men in black 2, abandon ship or abandon all hope was from pirates of the carribean,heroes get remembered, legends never die is from the sandlot, etc.
useless facts from wiki! :P
i like this song alot.. Life throws a punch and I hit the floor bruised and broken But still I’m begging for just one more Call it compassion or satisfaction
Great song, i quote it a lot hahah. I love the "Life throws a punch and I hit the floor bruised and broken But still I’m begging for just one more. Call it compassion or satisfaction But she keeps my heart beating for one beat more"
Awesome line, very funn songs from a band thats amazing live.
great song! its just about keeping going no matter what happens. like they say" life throws a punch, and i hit the floor" life can fuck you up sometimes, but these guys just keep going. I kinda see it being about him doing it for a girl though.. like she is his motivation wich is relatable.
hands down, this band is the shit.. and are amazing live!
She don't give me anything to breath about, but safe to say and contrast to point She's not someone I want to breathe about
