This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
We are alive for a moment
One second in the great abyss of time
All the bleedin', all the hate
Just one blink of an eye
All the conflicts, it visits dire pain on human life
Are we missing what it is to be alive?
One by one the pieces fall
Until our pride defeats us all
We learn to live without it
[Chorus]
Wake up!
To the sound of this time bomb
Wake up!
To it's deafening song
Wake up!
Cause you don't what you've got until it's gone
Until it's gone
Our innocence is a virtue
But our arrogance will only leave us blind
Unattended without anyone to save our idle lives
Will we find out that everything we know exists inside of a fraction
Of a fraction
One by one the pieces fall again
[Chorus: x2]
One by one the pieces fall
Until our pride defeats us all
Yeah!
One by one the pieces fall (one by one the pieces fall)
Until our pride defeats us all
Defeats us all!
Yeah!
Oh!
[Chorus: x2]
It's gone away
Yeah
One second in the great abyss of time
All the bleedin', all the hate
Just one blink of an eye
All the conflicts, it visits dire pain on human life
Are we missing what it is to be alive?
One by one the pieces fall
Until our pride defeats us all
We learn to live without it
[Chorus]
Wake up!
To the sound of this time bomb
Wake up!
To it's deafening song
Wake up!
Cause you don't what you've got until it's gone
Until it's gone
Our innocence is a virtue
But our arrogance will only leave us blind
Unattended without anyone to save our idle lives
Will we find out that everything we know exists inside of a fraction
Of a fraction
One by one the pieces fall again
[Chorus: x2]
One by one the pieces fall
Until our pride defeats us all
Yeah!
One by one the pieces fall (one by one the pieces fall)
Until our pride defeats us all
Defeats us all!
Yeah!
Oh!
[Chorus: x2]
It's gone away
Yeah

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,

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
he think maybe hes saying that everyone in the world is unbelievably arrogant..that they think they can solve anything..thinking they are always right and stand strong, but never want to see it how others might see it. and then finally their being stupid has them lose whatever they hold dear. eg: your kids, your wife/husband, your friends, maybe your job...thats just me..cuz i have had a recent experience..i was stupid and never wanted to listen to my wife and thinking she could never prove me wrong..and then eventually it turned out she was right and i fucked up and now i am alone and on my own with my kids and wife away from me..this song really motivates me to get my shit together. it should motivate anyone like this...awesome song story of the year!!!!! you rock my socks!!!! WAKE UP EVERYONE!!!
