(Dream on, dream on, dream on)
Live your life as you please
(So long, so long, so long)
To all the critics and the enemies

My sky has turned vanilla
Like sugar sasparella
And if only you were nearer
I'd say

Don't wake me up
Baby, I'm in love
And I'm dreaming so much
But I don't ever wanna stop

Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
I don't wanna stop
Don't wake me up

(Give up, give up, give up)
Time to wipe your soul clean
(Someone to love, to love, to love)
Hair like fire, sunset tangerine

The nights are getting colder
Not getting any older
The chip fell off my shoulder
I won't age a day and you'll all be
Gray and over eighty, baby

Don't wake me up
Baby, I'm in love
And I'm dreaming so much
But I don't ever wanna stop

Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
I don't wanna stop
Don't wake me up

Oh yeah

Don't wake me up
Baby, I'm in love
C'mon

Don't wake me up
Baby, I'm in love
And I'm dreaming so much
But I don't ever wanna stop, no

Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
I don't wanna stop
Don't wake me up

Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up

    I love this song too :) When I first heard it I thought, "Oh its just a meaningless song" but I was so wrong, it really isnt! Its about how you feel when you fall in love and how you really don't care about anything else or what anyone says about you cos you're in a dream world and its like "yeah whatever...i'm in love :)" I related so well to this song a while ago and I just had it on repeat constantly as I was daydreaming away haha...

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,

Magical
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.

Blue
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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
