This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Yesterdays come easy
They're looking back at you
The sun will rise tomorrow
There's nothing you can do
It's the same old story
Coming 'round again
What is done is done now
You know you can't hold back the rain
And there's no future in the past
So take it slow, you're getting nowhere fast
You could be saving the situation now
You'd better run like the devil if you still know how
You know the tide is turning
It's got you on the run
Your last bridge is burning
No time for having fun
Time will wait for no one
To get their days work done
We're in this boat together
You know one and one and one ain't one
And there's no future in the past
So take it slow, you're getting nowhere fast
You could be saving the situation now
You'd better run
We've come a long long way
Maybe one day you'll see the light
But don't, don't let it die
Don't let it fade away into the night
Yesterdays come easy
They're looking back at you
The sun will rise tomorrow
There's nothing you can do
It's the same old story
It's coming 'round again
What is done is done now
You know you can't hold back the rain
And there's no future in the past
So take it slow, you're getting nowhere fast
You know you're getting nowhere fast
You could be saving the situation now
You'd better run like the devil if you still know how
No future in the past
So take it slow, you're getting nowhere fast
You know you're getting nowhere fast
You could be saving the situation now
You'd better run
They're looking back at you
The sun will rise tomorrow
There's nothing you can do
It's the same old story
Coming 'round again
What is done is done now
You know you can't hold back the rain
And there's no future in the past
So take it slow, you're getting nowhere fast
You could be saving the situation now
You'd better run like the devil if you still know how
You know the tide is turning
It's got you on the run
Your last bridge is burning
No time for having fun
Time will wait for no one
To get their days work done
We're in this boat together
You know one and one and one ain't one
And there's no future in the past
So take it slow, you're getting nowhere fast
You could be saving the situation now
You'd better run
We've come a long long way
Maybe one day you'll see the light
But don't, don't let it die
Don't let it fade away into the night
Yesterdays come easy
They're looking back at you
The sun will rise tomorrow
There's nothing you can do
It's the same old story
It's coming 'round again
What is done is done now
You know you can't hold back the rain
And there's no future in the past
So take it slow, you're getting nowhere fast
You know you're getting nowhere fast
You could be saving the situation now
You'd better run like the devil if you still know how
No future in the past
So take it slow, you're getting nowhere fast
You know you're getting nowhere fast
You could be saving the situation now
You'd better run

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
Ed Sheeran
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
