Wake up, comb my hair
Making food disappear
Riding bikes, making out
Elephants run you down

You and I run away, blushing cheeks
Howling wolves, colourful fireworks

Every time, everyone, everything's full of life
Everyday, everywhere, people are so alive

We should all be (Oh Oh Oh) alive!
We should all be (Oh Oh Oh) alive!

Horfandi, þegjandi, tala við, skríðandi
Dreymandi, strjúka af, koma við ekki má
Mála á líkama, spilað á renglandi
Hlaupandi! Leikandi!

Get it on, let it out, fucking and spúandi
Get it on, let it out, fucking and kæfandi

We should all be (Oh Oh Oh) alive!
Exist all in love, in life!
We should all be (Oh Oh Oh) alive!
Let's not stop, let's grow and live!

I see you colourful, I see you in the trees
I see you spiritful, you're in the breeze
I see it in your hands, tree fingers draw a beam
I see you in the sand, roll down the stream

I see you in the trees, I see you colourful
I see you in the breeze, you're spiritful
Tree fingers draw a beam, I see it in your hands
You're rolling down the stream, you're in the sand

I see you colourful, I see you in the trees
I see you spiritful, You're in the breeze
I see it in your hands, tree fingers draw a beam
I see you in the sand, roll down the stream

I see you in the trees, I see you colourful
I see you in the breeze, you're spiritful
Tree fingers draw a beam, I see it in your hands
You're rolling down the stream, you're in the sand

I see you colourful, I see you in the trees
I see you spiritful, you're in the breeze
I see it in your hands, tree fingers draw a beam
I see you in the sand, roll down the stream

    How much happy and wonder can come out of one person? I cannot wait to go home and get my hands on this.

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,

Magical

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.

“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 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.
