I feel alive beside you
And all at once
I am whole again.
We fall into each other
Your atmosphere
Is all I'm breathing in
And in this rush
We are crushed.

Carry me down
Roll it in your arms
Cause I can't remember
Ever falling this hard
Tell me tonight,
All that we have been
Was it nothing more
Than a noise inside my head
Crashing down, crashing down,
In your avalanche
In your avalanche.

These scars we wear remind us
The more we change
The more we're all the same
Swept up in this emotion
We fumble through and make the same mistakes
Cause we are led
To the edge

Carry me down
Roll it in your arms
Cause I can't remember
Ever falling this hard
Tell me tonight
All that we have been
Was it nothing more
Than a noise inside my head
Crashing down, crashing down,
In your avalanche
Crashing down, crashing down,

Carry me down
Roll it in your arms
Cause I can't remember
Ever falling this hard
Tell me tonight
All that we have been
Was it nothing more
Than a noise inside my head

Carry me down
Roll it in your arms
Cause I can't remember
Ever falling this hard
Tell me tonight
All that we have been
Was it nothing more
Than a noise inside our heads
Crashing down, crashing down

Was it nothing more
Than a noise inside our heads
Crashing down
Crashing down

I feel alive beside you
Than all at once I am whole again

    Ahh this song. It's so fantastic. It's fun to sing along to. It's a cute love song. He pretty much compares loves to an avalanche because it's like a giant figurative 'avalanche' of emotion. It's a great metaphor. =) The song is self-explanatory other than that. another great song off his self titled! What song isn't though? It's a wonderful album.

    I'm a little confused by the lyrics in this song. But David Cook's voice is incredible

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
