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.
Take photographs, Take all your never fears.
We've got some packing to do, We've got some packing to do.
And my jaw aches, Repetation.
Take all your dreams, Take all that's left to see
Write it down, sign your name, go ahead and leave
There's nothing left to loose.
Ooooohhh.
The clouds rip through the sky like dynamite
to my surprise it was a beautiful sight
With our hands open wide
And I can't hide the truth as well as you
Singing woah, Singing woah.
Take photographs, Take all your never fears.
We've got some packing to do, We've got some packing to do.
And my jaw aches, Repetation.
Take all your dreams, Take all that's left to see
Write it down, sign your name, go ahead and leave
There's nothing left to loose.
Ooooohh.
I've got all of these dreams
That no one cares to know about
Cares to dream about with me.
All these memories haunting me, Seeking control.
We've got some packing to do, We've got some packing to do.
And my jaw aches, Repetation.
Take all your dreams, Take all that's left to see
Write it down, sign your name, go ahead and leave
There's nothing left to loose.
Ooooohhh.
The clouds rip through the sky like dynamite
to my surprise it was a beautiful sight
With our hands open wide
And I can't hide the truth as well as you
Singing woah, Singing woah.
Take photographs, Take all your never fears.
We've got some packing to do, We've got some packing to do.
And my jaw aches, Repetation.
Take all your dreams, Take all that's left to see
Write it down, sign your name, go ahead and leave
There's nothing left to loose.
Ooooohh.
I've got all of these dreams
That no one cares to know about
Cares to dream about with me.
All these memories haunting me, Seeking control.

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,

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.
