Yeah
Yeah

If I knew what I wish I knew
I could've seen what I'm going through
When I first laid my eyes on you
You blew me away, yeah yeah

If the timing's oh so right
I'd fear for you every night
It blew me away, yeah yeah

Innocence seems to fade away
Disappear, poof you're gone
Thought I'd lost the key to you
Looking for notes in the song

This time we got it
Yeah, what I've been looking for
Reached out and got it
I shouldn't ask for anymore
If you could ask for anything more
You could be king for a day
You could be queen for a day
'Bout time you got it
(This time we got it)
This time we got it
Let's take it away

Now I tried for something new
Wasn't rich enough to pay my dues
Was I in the right direction?
I was aiming at you, yeah yeah

If the timing's oh so right
I'd fear for you every night
It just blows me away, yeah yeah

Thought I'd lost the key to you
Looking for notes in the song

This time we got it
Yeah, what I've been looking for
Reached out and got it
I shouldn't ask for anymore
If you could ask for anything more
You could be king for a day
You could be queen for a day
'Bout time you got it
(This time we got it)
This time we got it
Let's take it away

Can't lose it
Can't have enough
Won't lose it
Can't get enough
Don't lose it
Don't have enough
Won't lose it
I can't get enough

This time we got it
Yeah, what I've been looking for
Reached in and got it
I shouldn't ask for anymore
If you could ask for anything more
You could be king for a day
You could be queen for a day
This time you got it
(This time we got it)
'Bout time we got it
Let's take it away
This time we got it
(This time we got it)
'Bout time we got it
Let's take it away

Take it away
Yeah, yeah, yeah

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,

No Surprises
Radiohead
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.

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.

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.
