Any second
I would sing you to sleep
With kind words in mind
and hearts on the sleeve
Leave nothing to chance
and everything behind
Second chances pave the way
to broken hearts
This is the moment
where I tell you
that I'm falling apart
And I'm stuck in reverse
between the same damn lies

Oh no, there I go,
optimistic to a fault
Go home, you can never go again
When anything at all
is anything but you
I want nothing, my dear
This always ends in tears
You were my everything in all
And now my everywhere but here
This always ends in tears

Taking chances pave the wasy
to broken hearts
This is the moment
where I tell you
that I'm falling apart
And I'm stuck in reverse
between the same damn lies
We're tossing pennies,
making wishes to make it right
Another lonely day,
another lonely night
And I would give anything
if you would
only pick up the phone

Oh no, there I go,
optimistic to a fault
Go home,
you can never go again
When anything at all
is anything but you
I want nothing, my dear
This always ends in tears
You were my everything in all
And now my everywhere but here
This always ends in tears

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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,

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.
