The Part Where You Let Go

Hem

When the rain breaks the road
Are you holding on, are you holding on
To your last good day?
When the stone breaks the wheel
Are you holding, are you holding on
'Til the stone rolls away?

And I don't know
Is this the part where you let go
And tumbling out of a window?
Is this the part where you find out?
I'm there for you

When the sun leaves the field
Are you holding on, are you holding on
To the last sweet light?
When the flame leaves your eyes
I still see you there, I still see you there
On your darkest night

And I don't know
Is this the part where you let go
In sinking under a shadow?
Is this the part where you find out?
I'm there for you now

As your hands breaking free
I am holding on, I am holding on
As you held on to me

And I don't know
Is this the part where we let go
Tumbling out of a window?
Is this the part you're there for me?

And I don't know
Is this the part where you let go
In sinking under a shadow?
Is this the part where you find out?
I'm there for you

You find out, I'm there for you
You find out, I'm there for you

    I was a bit confused as to whether the artist wishes for them to let go, but still holds on themselves.

    All in all, it's still a beautiful song. I love her voice.

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
