"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
No, sto pensando che
Non ritornano
Sto pensando che
Che sei poi ci riprovo
Lo so che non ' pi' lo stesso
Me lo chiedo da un po'
Quei momenti con te
Se ritornano le parole con te
Se ne vale la pena oppure vorrei pi' fortuna
RIT. e per ogni giorno
Mi prendo un ricordo che tengo nascosto lontano dal tempo
Insieme agli sguardi veloci momenti che tengo x me
E se ti fermassi soltanto un momento
Potresti capire davvero che e questo che cerco di dirti da circa una vita
Lo tengo per me
SEI PARTE DI ME
E lo porto con me
Lo nascondo x me
in macchina non tornano chilometri che scorrono
Discorsi che ti cambiano
E immagini che passano
E restano qua
Se ho bisogno lo so
Di sentire che
Dentro see''
Voglia di ridere
Qualche cosa in cui credere
RIT.e per ogni giorno
Mi prendo un ricordo che tengo nascosto lontano dal tempo
Insieme agli sguardi veloci momenti che tengo x me
E se ti fermassi soltanto un momento
Potresti capire davvero che e questo che cerco di dirti da circa una vita
Lo tengo per me
SEI PARTE DI ME
SEI PARTE DI ME
E se ti fermassi soltanto un momento
Potresti capire davvero che e questo che cerco di dirti da circa una vita
Lo tengo x me
SEI PARTE DI ME
SEI PARTE DI ME
Lo tengo x me'
Non ritornano
Sto pensando che
Che sei poi ci riprovo
Lo so che non ' pi' lo stesso
Me lo chiedo da un po'
Quei momenti con te
Se ritornano le parole con te
Se ne vale la pena oppure vorrei pi' fortuna
RIT. e per ogni giorno
Mi prendo un ricordo che tengo nascosto lontano dal tempo
Insieme agli sguardi veloci momenti che tengo x me
E se ti fermassi soltanto un momento
Potresti capire davvero che e questo che cerco di dirti da circa una vita
Lo tengo per me
SEI PARTE DI ME
E lo porto con me

in macchina non tornano chilometri che scorrono
Discorsi che ti cambiano

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
