This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Sleep, take me now and never let me wake
Still in your hands, in your kingdom I'll be yours to break
Sleep, I am tired
I have blundered on to a path where I don't belong
Still in your land, I'll be safe from where I could go wrong
Promise me a silver dream
Let your silence flow over me
Give me serenity and take away my will
Let your silence flow over me
Ghosts hold no pain
I surrendered years ago
Life has no claim on me
Let me slip quietly beneath
the pulsing noise of everyday
Life has no claim on me
Sleep, if I beg you, will you bleed all memory from my veins?
Cold in your arms, I'll have given all my hurt away
I am not afraid
I have waited on your doorstep too long
Take back my name
Close my eyes and turn my face away
Still in your hands, in your kingdom I'll be yours to break
Sleep, I am tired
I have blundered on to a path where I don't belong
Still in your land, I'll be safe from where I could go wrong
Promise me a silver dream
Let your silence flow over me
Give me serenity and take away my will
Let your silence flow over me
Ghosts hold no pain
I surrendered years ago
Life has no claim on me
Let me slip quietly beneath
the pulsing noise of everyday
Life has no claim on me
Sleep, if I beg you, will you bleed all memory from my veins?
Cold in your arms, I'll have given all my hurt away
I am not afraid
I have waited on your doorstep too long
Take back my name
Close my eyes and turn my face away

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,

“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.
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.
