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.
Y atrapado en mi mundo
Mágico, trágico
Que siempre confundo
Y que hay mucho tráfico
Huele a cloroformo
Y a éter etílico
No me conformo con vivir
Entonando cánticos
Sádicos, oníricos
Sin ser físico-cuántico
Puedo describírtelos
Fingiendo ser un santo
Modélico, magnífico, angelical
Mucho más allá de lo normal
Por encima del bien y del mal
Virtual, real adimensional
Sexual, sexual
Sobre todo sexual
Sobre todo sexual
Sobre todo
Si te abres bien los labios
Yo te lo como todo
Que ya soy centenario
En comer comida caliente
Se oye desde el armario
Una musiquilla de fondo
Será la puta radio
Emitiendo una canción deprimente
Que me aburre profundamente
Sigo entonando cánticos
Sádico, oníricos
Sin ser físico-cuántico
Puedo describírtelos
Fingiendo ser un santo
Modélico, magnífico, angelical
Mucho más allá de lo normal
Por encima del bien y del mal
Virtual, real adimensional
Sexual, sexual
Sobre todo sexual
Sobre todo sexual
Sobre todo
El mundo sin políticos sería aburridísimo
El mundo sin fanáticos sería moderadísimo
El mundo sin críticos sería criticadísimo
Y el mundo sin mí
No escucharía
Mis cánticos sádicos, oníricos
Sin ser físico-cuántico
Puedo describírtelos
Fingiendo ser un santo
Modélico, magnífico, angelical
Mucho más allá de lo normal
Por encima del bien y del mal
Virtual, real adimensional
Sexual, sexual
Cánticos sádicos, oníricos
Sin ser físico-cuántico
Puedo describírtelos
Fingiendo ser un santo
Modélico, magnífico, angelical
Mucho más allá de lo normal
Por encima del bien y del mal
Virtual, real adimensional
Sexual, sexual
Y atrapado en dos notas
Gotas que se agotan
Sonidos que explotan
Que potan que me rondan las malas cartas
Tanta sota
Que si las rompo de escaqueo no se nota
No me conformo con vivir
No me conformo con vivir
Porque este ritmo me llama
Si te abres bien los labios
Yo te lo como todo
Que ya soy centenario
En comer comida caliente
Se oye desde el armario
Una musiquilla de fondo
Será la puta radio
Emitiendo una canción deprimente
Que me aburre profundamente
Sigo entonando cánticos
Sádico, oníricos
Sin ser físico-cuántico
Puedo describírtelos
Fingiendo ser un santo
Modélico, magnífico, angelical
Mucho más allá de lo normal
Por encima del bien y del mal

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.
