Lover Lover

Jerrod Niemann

Well the truth,
Well it hurts to say,
I'm gonna pack up my bags
And I'm gonna go away
I'm gonna split
I can't stand it
I'm gonna give it up and quit
Ain't never comin' back
Girl but before I get to go and I got to say
I know you used to love me
But that was yesterday
And the truth I won't fight it
When the love starts burnin' you got to do what's right

Whoa lover, lover, lover,
You don't treat me no good no more
Whoa lover, lover, lover,
You don't treat me no good no more

Well the truth,
Yeah it hurts to say,
I'm gonna pack up my bags
And I'm gonna go away
I'm gonna split
I can't stand it
I'm gonna give it up and quit
Ain't never comin' back
Girl but before I get to go and I got to say
There was a time oh woman
When you used to shake it for me
Now all you do is just treat me cold
Ain't gonna take it no more
Gonna walk out the door

Lover, lover, lover
You don't treat me no good no more,
No good no more, more, more
Lover lover lover
You don't treat me no good no more

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Well I wait up for you almost every night
And I'm hurtin' so bad cause you don't treat me right
Oh woman oh woman you know I love you so but
You're so mean to me baby I'm walkin' out the door

Lover oh lover
Yeah, yeah
No good no more, more, more

I know you used to love me in every way,
But now I'm givin' it up
And I'm tired of cryin' babe
I can't stand it no longer
It hurts me to say,
But I'm packin' up my bags and goin' far away

Lover, oh lover, yeah, yeah
Lover, lover, lover,
You don't treat me no good no more
Lover, lover, lover,
You don't treat me no good no more
Lover, lover, lover,
You don't treat me no good no more
Lover, lover, lover
You don't treat me no good no more

    My Interpretation

    I think it's about a guy that's with a girl, but it falls apart and things aren't the same and she's a complete witch towards him now, and he can't stand it any longer and has to end it, even though he loves her.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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,

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
