…They tried…

They tried to break you
Don't let them break you
We can rebuild you
Don't let them break you

I see the struggle
The sad look in your eyes
They love to hate you
But don't let them break, you

Because the storm
Can't last forever
You will be anything you wanted to

Anything…
Oh, anything…

Nobody asked you
What it felt like inside
Did you hate even breathing
You did what you did to get by

I see the struggle
The sad look in your eyes
They love to hate you
But don't let them break, you

'Cause the storm
Can't last forever
And the storm, oh no
Can't last forever, no, no, no

You will be everything you wanted to
You will have everything you need
You will look back at these days
And you will smile

Will smile…

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,

Punchline
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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
