This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
She phones home, composed, a bit panicked
Hesitates to confess she misses the Atlantic
The gulf streams, the palm trees, the car keys that took you away
She tries to explain, oh boy
I wanna be fixed, I wanna be broken
I wanna be closed, I wanna be open
The love I thought had died is still alive and I hope that you don't mind
Oh I,
She says December will help me remember
The place that my heart calls home
When the pale city lights are aglow
And my heart's feeling empty and cold
Well there's one place I know that I'm dying to be
Steel City, you'll always be a part of me
No, it's not what you said, and it's not how you said it
But it all came undone the moment you meant it
I honestly can't believe coincidence and possibility could sway
But I'll try and explain, baby
I wanna be fixed, I wanna be broken
I wanna be closed, I wanna be open
When stars and hearts align I'm sure you'll come to find the love we had was blind
Oh I,
She says December will help me remember
The place that my heart calls home
When the pale city lights are aglow
And my heart's feeling empty and cold
Well there's one place I know that I'm dying to be
Steel City, you'll always be a part of me
Searching for something you need
And as you fall to the floor you crawl to your knees
Reach out for something you see
It's like she was never there
You breath in and hold the air
Like an unanswered prayer
She says December will help me remember
The place that my heart calls home
When the pale city lights are aglow
And my heart's feeling empty and cold
Well there's one place I know that I'm dying to be
Steel City, you'll always
Steel City, you'll always
Steel City, you'll always be a part of me
Hesitates to confess she misses the Atlantic
The gulf streams, the palm trees, the car keys that took you away
She tries to explain, oh boy
I wanna be fixed, I wanna be broken
I wanna be closed, I wanna be open
The love I thought had died is still alive and I hope that you don't mind
Oh I,
She says December will help me remember
The place that my heart calls home
When the pale city lights are aglow
And my heart's feeling empty and cold
Well there's one place I know that I'm dying to be
Steel City, you'll always be a part of me
No, it's not what you said, and it's not how you said it
But it all came undone the moment you meant it
I honestly can't believe coincidence and possibility could sway
But I'll try and explain, baby
I wanna be fixed, I wanna be broken
I wanna be closed, I wanna be open
When stars and hearts align I'm sure you'll come to find the love we had was blind
Oh I,
She says December will help me remember
The place that my heart calls home
When the pale city lights are aglow
And my heart's feeling empty and cold
Well there's one place I know that I'm dying to be
Steel City, you'll always be a part of me
Searching for something you need
And as you fall to the floor you crawl to your knees
Reach out for something you see
It's like she was never there
You breath in and hold the air
Like an unanswered prayer
She says December will help me remember
The place that my heart calls home
When the pale city lights are aglow
And my heart's feeling empty and cold
Well there's one place I know that I'm dying to be
Steel City, you'll always
Steel City, you'll always
Steel City, you'll always be a part of me

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Such a beautiful song...
i think this is basically a guy that was totally in love with this girl who randomly packed up and moved to west coast leaving him here in the east. he thought he was over her but he realizes hes not.
"I'm sure you'll come to find the love we had was blind" meaning he didnt realize what he had til it was gone.
and he remembers that she said that they would see eachother again in december in steel city, (pittsburgh)
and the chorus is saying that he wants to get over her but he doesnt want to forget her. 'I wanna be fixed i wanna be broken."
this song is so beautiful. it makes me feel calm no matter what.
"Steel City" is a nickname for the City of Pittsburgh. So from the words, "I'm sure you'll come to find the love we had was blind", he probably means that the girl he met wasn't what he "should be dating". And he probably met her in Pittsburgh. So therefore, when he says "Steel City, you'll always be a part of me" he's probably referring to the fact that this girl most likely left him in Pittsburgh, and he'll always remember that. Both of them most likely spent a good amount of time there, probably during the winter, because he says "She says December will help me remember; The place that my heart calls home" And from all this, he's just broken and falling apart because of it, and wants to forget her but can't, and thinking of Pittsburgh probably makes him mourn for her, whoever this girl is.
pittsburghhh :) yay. i live there lol & i love this songg.
