This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
They just keep swallowing us
They just keep hustling us
They just keep beating us down
Down
They just keep holding us back
Wished I could just see the attack
They just keep beating us down
Down
Its time we took up a stand
Take a wrong out of our hands
'Cause I know we just don't realize
What's next
Look what they've done to us
They don't know who to trust, oh
What's next
It's just so meaningless
Wish I was simple and bliss, oh
Take the soldiers and put them in sand
Put the child right in from the man
It's not hard to get swallowed up
George Bush is fucking us up
See that the lies that he has sewn
Wash us up and he has done
Wash us up and he has done
This time he has taken his hits of this thinkin'
Let me inside
Open up your heart
Come on and
Let me inside
Open up your heart
They just keep swallowing us
We don't know who to trust
They just keep swallowing us
We don't know who to trust
They just keep swallowing us
We've got each other to trust
They just keep swallowing us
We've got each other to trust
They just keep swallowing us
We've got each other to trust
They just keep swallowing us
We've got each other to trust
Let me inside
Open up your heart
Come on and
Let me inside
Open up your heart
They just keep hustling us
They just keep beating us down
Down
They just keep holding us back
Wished I could just see the attack
They just keep beating us down
Down
Its time we took up a stand
Take a wrong out of our hands
'Cause I know we just don't realize
What's next
Look what they've done to us
They don't know who to trust, oh
What's next
It's just so meaningless
Wish I was simple and bliss, oh
Take the soldiers and put them in sand
Put the child right in from the man
It's not hard to get swallowed up
George Bush is fucking us up
See that the lies that he has sewn
Wash us up and he has done
Wash us up and he has done
This time he has taken his hits of this thinkin'
Let me inside
Open up your heart
Come on and
Let me inside
Open up your heart
They just keep swallowing us
We don't know who to trust
They just keep swallowing us
We don't know who to trust
They just keep swallowing us
We've got each other to trust
They just keep swallowing us
We've got each other to trust
They just keep swallowing us
We've got each other to trust
They just keep swallowing us
We've got each other to trust
Let me inside
Open up your heart
Come on and
Let me inside
Open up your heart

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,
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Good song, but sadly the only one worth repeated listens on the new album.
