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.
She work it girl, she work the pole
She break it down, she take it low
She fine as hell, she about the dough
She doing her thing out on the floor
Her money money, she makin'
Look at the way she shakin'
Make you want to touch her, want to taste her
Have you lustin' for her,
Go crazy face it
She's so much more than you're used to
Knows just how to move to seduce you
She gone do the right thing and touch the right spot
Dance in you're lap till you're ready to pop
She always ready, when you want it she want it
Like a nympho, the info
Show you where to meet her
On the late night, till daylight the club jumpin'
If you want a good time, she gone give you what you want
Baby it's a new age,
You like my new craze
Let's get together
Maybe we can start a new phase
The smoke's got the club all hazy,
Spotlights don't do you justice baby
Why don't you come over here,
You got me saying
Aayooh
I'm tired of using technology,
Why don't you sit down on top of me
Aayooh
I'm tired of using technology
I need you right in front of me
In her fantasy, there's plain to see
Just how it be, on me, backstrokin',
Sweat soaking
All into my set sheets
When she ready to ride, I'm ready to roll
I'll be in this bitch till the club close
What should I do, on all fours
Now that that shit should be against the law
Different style, different move,
Damn I like the way you move
Girl you got me thinking about,
All the things I'd do to you
Let's get it poppin' shorty
We can switch positions
From the couch to the counters in my kitchen
Baby it's a new age,
You like my new craze
Let's get together
Maybe we can start a new phase
The smokes got the club all hazy,
Spotlights don't do you justice baby
Why don't you come over here, you got me saying
Aayooh
I'm tired of using technology,
Why don't you sit down on top of me
Aayooh
I'm tired of using technology
I need you right in front of me
Ooh she wants it, ooh she wants it
Hmm she wants it, I got to give it to her
She wants it, hmm she wants it
Hmm she wants it, I got to give it to her
I got to give it to her
Baby it's a new age,
You like my new craze
Let's get together
Maybe we can start a new phase
The smoke's got the club all hazy,
Spotlights don't do you justice baby
Why don't you come over here, you got me saying
Aayooh
I'm tired of using technology
Why don't you sit down on top of me
Aayooh
I'm tired of using technology
I need you right in front of me
She break it down, she take it low
She fine as hell, she about the dough
She doing her thing out on the floor
Her money money, she makin'
Look at the way she shakin'
Make you want to touch her, want to taste her
Have you lustin' for her,
Go crazy face it

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
The original version is utter crap. But when Milow sings it, the lyrics come more alive. Yes, it's about a prostitute, and yes it's not pure-romantic-perfect-Bollywood-love, but he sings to her like a worsipper admires a goddess. It may be plain-paid sex, but somehow it's still respectable, in a way.
There is a breach, though. The weakest line of the song is "I'll be in this bitch 'till the club close"... It changes the entire spherical space the song finds itself in. I'd have preferred if he left it out or changed it to "I'll be with this girl 'till the club close" or something like that. Apart from that, it's catchy and pleasantly sensual but not overly so. I like his smokey voice by the way.
Also great to acknowledge there will always be things holier than technology... Just one more reason why real interaction deserves more attention.
