    FYI, this song is a re-imagining of "Where to Turn" by James Litherland, James Blake's father. I feel that this version is an update of that song for the 21st century, more isolated and alone and fractured, it sounds like the last straw in a guy's constant disappointment in love and life, things getting harder and harder and never being rewarded, just being heartbroken and kicked around time after time until he's eventually on the edge of giving up completely. I think he's expressing this to a woman, maybe a stranger, at least somebody who's willing to care and listen. Maybe he's settling. It's extremely emotionally dense for something so minimal.

    To retort to MrFog (I read that as MrFrog which is way more awesome), the reiteration of those few lines and sentiments in such a minimal background sets up an amazing atmosphere for actually rather an unpretentious message, one that if anything is really genuine and primal. This isn't prog rock, it's one guy and his keyboard putting his emotions on the line.

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,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“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.
