This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
All the hopes that you've been holding on to for so long
And the fires you've been chasing down now are all gone
I can tell you are a long way from the one you love
Oh the night it takes so long to fall
Oh, in the night, oh, in the night, oh in the night
I will hide away my fortunate son
He's soon to fall, but let him go
But I'll always know my life is not the only one
No, no
Oh, in the night, oh, in the night, oh in the night
I will hide away my fortunate son
He's soon to fall, but let him go
But I'll always know my life is not the only one
No, no
Smoke and shadows fall, follow me
To my heart like I come so
Heavy so that I can
Still not believe the
Words that you sing so
Carry on your own
No, no
All my life has been a wander in the fireside
All the weather made is cold enough to hold me now
And a heart like yours should never have to hold it now
But sometimes it takes the night to fall
Oh, in the night, oh in the night, oh in the night
I will hide away my fortunate son
He's soon to fall, but let him go
But I'll always know my life is not the only one
No, my life is not the only one,
No, you can never have my fortunate son, no, no
No, no, no
And the fires you've been chasing down now are all gone
I can tell you are a long way from the one you love
Oh the night it takes so long to fall
Oh, in the night, oh, in the night, oh in the night
I will hide away my fortunate son
He's soon to fall, but let him go
But I'll always know my life is not the only one
No, no
Oh, in the night, oh, in the night, oh in the night
I will hide away my fortunate son
He's soon to fall, but let him go
But I'll always know my life is not the only one
No, no
Smoke and shadows fall, follow me
To my heart like I come so
Heavy so that I can
Still not believe the
Words that you sing so
Carry on your own
No, no
All my life has been a wander in the fireside
All the weather made is cold enough to hold me now
And a heart like yours should never have to hold it now
But sometimes it takes the night to fall
Oh, in the night, oh in the night, oh in the night
I will hide away my fortunate son
He's soon to fall, but let him go
But I'll always know my life is not the only one
No, my life is not the only one,
No, you can never have my fortunate son, no, no
No, no, no

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,
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
really good song. cant stop humming it.
