The Art Of Highschool Break Up

Pee Wee Gaskins

let's take a walk tonight
we're gonna talk this out
the moon is holding up my alibis

so what if youre with him tonite?
so what if i cant be there?
you were never really with me anyway

with hopes of starting over
(i'll send you post card when i get there)
anywhere
anywhere
far from you

reff:
one day i will find you even when you're not around
dont say "we wont last any longer"
or "you will find someone better"
it's you that im waiting for
so i'll wait for you
take notes that we'll still have each other
we'll drive away

(i can't let you go if you keep holding my hand)

let's give this one last shot
before i break your heart
the moon is down
so no more alibis

so what if youre with him tonite?
so what if i cant be there?
you were never really with me anyway

with hopes of starting over
(i'll send you post card when i get there)
anywhere
anywhere
far from you

dont bother to explain it
i dont care anymore
you know what's fun is fun
i know what's done is done
dont let the story end this way
let's just forget it
let's just pretend it

    I guess this song is a very sweeet song about a long distance relationship or an unrequited love. the inability to move on and the hope to starting over. the perfect waiting song.

    "so what if youre with him tonite? so what if i cant be there? you were never really with me anyway" :(

    "i can't let you go if you keep holding my hand" :(:(

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Cajun Girl
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,
