I could be wrong, I could be right
I could be black, I could be white

Your time has come your second skin
The cost so high, the gain so low
Walk through the valley
The written work is a lie
May the road rise with you

I could be wrong, I could be right
I could be black, I could be white

They put a hot wire to my head
'cause of the things I did and said
And made these feelings go away
Model citizen in every way
May the road rise with you
Anger is an energy

I could be wrong, I could be right
I could be black, I could be white

I could be right, I could be wrong
I could be black, I could be white

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,

Amazing
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.
