Good afternoon, I sleep in song
Back of the room, avoid the sun
You turned off the light
And I lost a lung
You called it a night
You had me won
Who told you to leave me all alone
Leave me in the dark
Leave me in the cold
Who told you to leave before I could show
You half of the man you wanted to now
But I had to face your last goodbye
But I had to face your last goodbye
The look on my face, my bloodshot eyes
So who won the war deep down inside?
I can't decide
I can't decide

Only the dark can feel my touch
No kind of remark could burn this much
Cause I'm as cold as December
And I won't surrender
Until you give me back my life

Who told you to leave me all alone
Leave me in the dark
Leave me in the cold
Who told you to leave before I could show
You half of the man you wanted to now
But I had to face your last goodbye
But I had to face your last goodbye
The look on my face, my bloodshot eyes
So who won the war deep down inside?
I can't decide
I can't decide

I can't see the sun in the morning
Please send me a warning
Next time I go through this again

All out of luck, all out of time
Who would have thought I'd lose my mind

I can't decide
I can't decide

Who told you to leave me all alone
Leave me in the dark
Leave me in the cold
Who told you to leave before I could show
You half of the man you wanted to now
But I had to face your last goodbye
But I had to face your last goodbye
The look on my face, my bloodshot eyes
So who won the war deep down inside?
I can't decide
No I can't decide

    My Interpretation

    This seems to me like it is about Maika Maile's dad committing suicide,

    In my opinion, but then again Stories seems to be along a similar storyline but from the perspective of someone else who is affected by the death of others..

    I might be way off, but that's my interpretation. Amazing song.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
