Friends,
i will keep you like trophies in my heart,
to remember how loneliness was a faded dream, on 219th street.
We were more than just young, we were full of it.
And no-one could touch us, or take us in.
Watching the sunset from the roof,
we planned our next adventure.

I was nineteen and young,
thought I had it all figured out.
The world was our oyster,
and we dove in to get the pearl out.

Now we are swimming in memories
How we wish we could go back

I've got a sneaking suspicion,
that hindsight only favors good vision,
but I'm not one to complain,
when it's all I dream of.
We were more than just useless and stupid kids,
The music, it moved us, we shook our fists
as we sang along, at the top of our lungs

Now we are swimming in memories
How we wish we could go back
We hold the hope that someday we'll see the world again.
Like that, like that, like that,

Now we are swimming in no memories
How we wish we could go back
We hold the hope that someday we'll see the world again.
Like that, like that,
Oh, like that, like that.
Yeah!

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.

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.

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.
