This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
This next song
Is actually an uptempo song off my new record "I Am"
I love the lyrics so much
I actually wanted to do an acoustic version for you guys
It talks about relationships being so wonderful
Almost too good to be true
You don't know if this is a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Every night I rush to my bed
With hopes that maybe I'll get a chance to see you
When I close my eyes, I'm going out of my head
Lost in a fairytale, can you hold my hands and be my guide?
Clouds filled with stars cover the skies
And I hope it rains
You're the perfect lullaby
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don't wanna wake up from you (you can be a sweet dream)
Or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody, pinch me, your love's too good to be true
My guilty pleasure, I ain't going nowhere
Baby, 'long as you're here, I'll be floating on air 'cause you're my
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don't wanna wake up from you
Wanna wake up from you, you
Tattoo your name across my heart
Tattoo your name across my heart
Not even death can make us part
Not even death can make us part
Tattoo your name across my heart
Tattoo your name across my heart (oh)
Not even death can make us part
What kind of dream is this?
I love you
I love you, I love you
Baby, I love you, you are my life
My happiest moments weren't complete if you weren't by my side (you weren't by my side)
You're my relation in connection to the sun (connection to the sun)
With you next to me there's no darkness I can't overcome (I can't overcome)
You are my raindrops, I am the seed (I am the seed)
With you and God who's the sunlight I bloom and grow so beautifully (grow so beautifully)
Baby, I'm so proud, proud to be your girl (proud to be your girl)
You make the confusion go all away from this cold and mixed-up world
I am in love with you (I'm in love)
You set me free
I can't do this thing called life without you here with me
'Cause I'm dangerously in love with you (dangerously in love)
I'll never leave
Just, just keep lovin' me the way I love you lovin' me, yeah
Every time I see your face my heart smiles
Every time it feels so good it hurts sometimes
Created in this world to love, to hold
To feel, to breathe, to live you
Dangerously in love, yeah (I'm in love)
I can't do this thing
Called life without you here with me (can't do this thing without here with me)
'Cause I'm dangerously in love (holdin' me)
In love (kissin' me, lovin' me)
Keep lovin' me the way I love you lovin' me
Dangerously
Dangerously

With all my heart, I love you baby
Stay with me and you will see my arms will hold you, baby
Never leave, 'cause I believe in this in love
Sweet love, hear me callin' out your name
I feel no shame, I'm in love
Sweet love, don't you ever go away
It will always be this way
There's no stronger love in this world (ooh)
Oh, baby, no
You're my man, I'm your girl
I'll never go, wait and see, can't be wrong
Don't you know this is where you belong? Oh
So sweet
So sweet
So sweet oh, oh, love
(Sweet love) oh no, no, no
Oh no, no, no, no, 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,

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.
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.
omg i agree with sasafraz! i thought i accidently was listening to beat it or like a new intro to it haha. but yeah this song is def about liking someone alot and you dont no if they feel the same way yet, but no matter what you want things to work out with them. probably everyone has felt this way.
