I'm alive, but I am living in a movie
Far and high, even the drugs won't help me
No wonder why, I've given up reality
This world is mental, don't wanna be part of it

So I close my eyes, now I believe what I see
My paradise, I am living in a movie
No compromise, I can go where I want to
I'm sick of lies, apocalyptic figure disguised

I don't mind if I'm acting weird it's the only way to be
I don't get people and they don't get me and I
Feel like I'm alone and way too stubborn and I
I just wanna ride on the ocean tide and buy a piece of sky

I'm alright, but I've been living in a movie
Someday I will have to wake from this dream
I'm simplified, in this microcosm of mine
I'm between the lines

I don't mind if I'm acting weird it's the only way to be
I don't get people and they don't get me and I
Feel like I'm alone and way too stubborn and I
I just wanna ride on the ocean tide

I don't mind if I'm acting weird it's the only way to be
I don't get people and they don't get me and I
I don't mind

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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,

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
