This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I wouldn't swear we're not invincible
It's just I barely even make it through the nights
Lord, I'm not doing all that well myself these days
I guess I'm just trying to survive
I spent a lifetime just to get over it
Lay my head right down in my mama's arms
She sang to me and held me when I was young
I guess I'll do the same for her now she's old
And I ain't never been the crying kind
But nights like this, I could just lay down and die
As far as the saying goes, the saying goes as far
I guess it's true, no one's safe here in these arms
So I guess we'll remain the strong ones
We'll keep our blind faith in the sun
We'll be a testament to dying old and gold inside
Or dying good and young
Because "only the good die young" they say
It's just I barely even make it through the nights
Lord, I'm not doing all that well myself these days
I guess I'm just trying to survive
I spent a lifetime just to get over it
Lay my head right down in my mama's arms
She sang to me and held me when I was young
I guess I'll do the same for her now she's old
And I ain't never been the crying kind
But nights like this, I could just lay down and die
As far as the saying goes, the saying goes as far
I guess it's true, no one's safe here in these arms
So I guess we'll remain the strong ones
We'll keep our blind faith in the sun
We'll be a testament to dying old and gold inside
Or dying good and young
Because "only the good die young" they say

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
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
One of my favorite T&T songs. And the Billy Joel reference is just a bonus.
