This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You're different from me
All the boundaries are defined
If we keep up with these truces
One of will lose their mind
And I consciously object to your weapons detector
Hedging bets in the private sector
I don't have to salute you
But I might have to shoot you
Let's get back to the war
That's what we're here for
Back to the war
That's what we're here for
Back to the war
Those bullets in the park
Those after dark rendezvous
Somebody has to bleed
As someone draws a bead on you
And it keeps you on your toes, all these innocent gophers
Taking orders in their penny loafers
I could change my position
But you just never listen
Let's get back to the war
That's what we're here for
Back to the war
Bombs away, as they say
I'm not about to pay membership dues
I've got this dynamite
I know you're sitting tight, waiting for news
Well I'm lighting the fuse
While you were on vacation
I was stationed at the line
You think we've normalized
Well I'm surprised you're so blind
As you traffic in the bucks of the recent reconstruction
This ain't no drill team I'm conducting
You can make your decision
Or watch it on television
But let's get back to the war
That's what we're here for
Back to the war
Let's get back to the war
That's what we're here for
Back to the war
All the boundaries are defined
If we keep up with these truces
One of will lose their mind
And I consciously object to your weapons detector
Hedging bets in the private sector
I don't have to salute you
But I might have to shoot you
Let's get back to the war
That's what we're here for
Back to the war
That's what we're here for
Back to the war
Those bullets in the park
Those after dark rendezvous
Somebody has to bleed
As someone draws a bead on you
And it keeps you on your toes, all these innocent gophers
Taking orders in their penny loafers
I could change my position
But you just never listen
Let's get back to the war
That's what we're here for
Back to the war
Bombs away, as they say
I'm not about to pay membership dues
I've got this dynamite
I know you're sitting tight, waiting for news
Well I'm lighting the fuse
While you were on vacation
I was stationed at the line
You think we've normalized
Well I'm surprised you're so blind
As you traffic in the bucks of the recent reconstruction
This ain't no drill team I'm conducting
You can make your decision
Or watch it on television
But let's get back to the war
That's what we're here for
Back to the war
Let's get back to the war
That's what we're here for
Back to the war

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,
Magical
Ed Sheeran

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.
American Town

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
