Live Every Second

Tokio Hotel

From today all days are only half as long
Nothing left to love about
Yesterday is one million years ago
Day before already went down
Time's been replaced by a countdown
The sun is shining in the night
So here are words sorry I was just thinking twice
Wake me up, cause time is running out,
Running out
Running out, running out

[Chorus]
Live every second
Here and now
Don't let go
Live every second
Here and now
Don't let go

Before it's to late
Before it's to late

From today our life is just a TV show
You can even get a planet for free
The whole galaxy is chilling out
And time is all you can see
Don't look back, it's now, it's all that counts
Remember that before you forget
So here are words just think twice
Wake me up, the time is running out,

Running out

[Chorus]

Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Stop it now

[5x]
Wake up

Wake up!

[Chorus]

Before it's to late
Before it's to late
Wake up
Stop it now

    this song is proof that these guys can hardly speak English.

    But I like it :) "The whole galaxy is chilling out" makes me laugh

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

Page
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.
