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”

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,
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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
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.
I LOVE THIS SONG!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE NO COMMENTS FOR THIS SONG!!!
Do you think you can do the English lyrics as well??? Please and thank you =^,^=
Japanese Modernist Go Mad Japanese Modernist
Why is only that country strong?(3x)* Why only that country?**
That day I flew above the rubble and debris an eternally indestructible hedonist I'll switch on and fly today too Say goodbye to the weak me (bye bye) Now advance forward, boy! Now grasp your ambitions, boy! Steadily fix your eyes forward Everyone's sky-high, now please go die.
Japanese Modernist Go Mad Japanese Modernist
Sea! Sun! The ends of the Earth! That sky! Can you hear it? (x3) My voice
Father! Mother! Younger Sister! Younger Brother! Can you hear it? (x3) My voice
Sea! Sun! The ends of the Earth! That sky! Can you hear it? (x3) My voice
*Note above romanization should read tsuyoi **In uncensored/live versions this line is replaced with "Naze Amerika dake?" meaning "Why only America?"
Merry is associated with the Angura-Kei movement. One of the primary focuses of the movement is on what it means to be post-war Japanese. As such, angura-kei artists tend to have a bit of nationalism/isolationism as well as a bit of Anti-Americanism (as the events of WWII and Japanese reconstruction by the American government caused irreversible changes to Japanese culture as a whole). I personally believe that the use of atomic weapons was a bad move on our part, and have a great deal of sympathy for any civilization that is forced to reinvent itself under wartime/invasive pretenses. However it should be made clear that this song (as well as those of many other angura artists) is Anti-American in sentiment and is essentially a call to arms for the "Japanese Modernist." Now, this doesn't mean that Japan is gonna bomb us back at any point (after all, angura means "underground"), but just remember that 60 years doesn't clean the slate.
