Love You Better

The Maccabees

Better get another coal on the fake fire
Cover on the wet tiles
On the wet tiles

Better run it out of town
That thought will cost you more than just a sweet smile
To a sweet smile

And I will love you better, I will love you better
I will love you better, I will love you better
I will love you better

And I will love you better, I will love you better
I will love you better, I will love you better
I will love you better

Then we learn to love better
So the words you leave me on my pillow read better
Cheap card forever

Then we can pull it apart
And in time you see it's going better than ever
It's going better than ever
Hard fought, safe guard in your bedclothes

And I will love you better, I will love you better
I will love you better, I will love you better
I will love you better

And I will love you better, I will love you better
I will love you better, I will love you better
I will love you better

I thought, and I thought, and I thought of you
I thought we'd be doing the faithful few
Together
Together

And I thought that you might feel the same
With your insect skin and the lion's mane
And be new
To be new

And the thought of you, it was crystal clear
I could warm myself up in you, dear
And be you
And be you
To be 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,

Blue
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.
