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.
Oh sugar,
Oh sugar can't you see
How hard I'm tryin'?
You know you gotta,
You know you gotta eventually
Make up your mind
'Cause no one's gonna find ya
When you're hiding in the dark
No one's gonna find ya
When you're hiding in the dark
No one's gonna find ya
When you're hiding in the dark
No one's gonna find ya
So would you
So would you talk to me?
It's time to decide
'Cause no one's gonna save ya
If you don't swim for the boat
No one's gonna save ya
If you won't take the rope
No one's gonna find ya
When you're hiding in the dark
No one's gonna find ya
And it's end love the sky is fallin'
End love, the sky is fallin'
The sky is fallin'
So sugar,
So sugar dance with me
This one last time
We got no reason,
We got no reason I can see
To hold back tonight
'Cause no one's gonna catch ya
If you can't just let go
No one's gonna know ya
If you can't let love show
No one's gonna find ya
When you're hiding in the dark
No one's gonna find ya
And it's end love the sky is fallin'
End love the sky is fallin'
The sky is fallin'
Oh sugar
Oh sugar can't you see
How hard I'm tryin'
You know you gotta
You know you gotta eventually
Make up your mind
And it's end love the sky is fallin'
End love the sky is fallin'
The sky is fallin'
End love the sky is fallin'
End love the sky is fallin'
End love the sky is fallin'
End love the sky is fallin'
Oh sugar can't you see
How hard I'm tryin'?
You know you gotta,
You know you gotta eventually
Make up your mind
'Cause no one's gonna find ya
When you're hiding in the dark
No one's gonna find ya
When you're hiding in the dark
No one's gonna find ya
When you're hiding in the dark
No one's gonna find ya
So would you
So would you talk to me?
It's time to decide
'Cause no one's gonna save ya
If you don't swim for the boat
No one's gonna save ya
If you won't take the rope
No one's gonna find ya
When you're hiding in the dark
No one's gonna find ya
And it's end love the sky is fallin'
End love, the sky is fallin'
The sky is fallin'
So sugar,
So sugar dance with me
This one last time
We got no reason,
We got no reason I can see
To hold back tonight
'Cause no one's gonna catch ya
If you can't just let go
No one's gonna know ya
If you can't let love show
No one's gonna find ya
When you're hiding in the dark
No one's gonna find ya
And it's end love the sky is fallin'
End love the sky is fallin'
The sky is fallin'
Oh sugar
Oh sugar can't you see
How hard I'm tryin'
You know you gotta
You know you gotta eventually
Make up your mind
And it's end love the sky is fallin'
End love the sky is fallin'
The sky is fallin'
End love the sky is fallin'
End love the sky is fallin'
End love the sky is fallin'
End love the sky is fallin'

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I agree with StarDrops21, and it fits one of the overarching themes from the album: "You need to be bold, unafraid."
"White Knuckles," "End Love," and "This Too Shall Pass," all are about letting go of fear of failure and past mistakes or hardships,and embracing who you are, and doing what you know you need to do.
True, "End Love" is written to a lover to whom the narrator is speaking to, and many of the other songs on "OtBCotS" (what a cruddy acronym) are basically love songs, but I think the album was a departure from most pop interweb bands with their focus on songs like this: the message being "You can Be Awesome."
