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.
Penso a te prima di dormire
Guardando il sole che fa spazio all'imbrunire
In questa terra lontana da casa
Lontana da te che sei la mia casa
Ovunque tu sia
Tu sei l'anima mia
Sei un campo di malinconia
Quando non sono da te
Sei un campo di frutti dolcissimi
Quando sei qui con me
Contadino del cuore
La mia gioia mi costa sudore
Io ti amo e fuggo lontano
La misura di quanto ti amo
È il pianeta
Di ogni viaggio lontano
Da te sei la meta
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
Mi devo allontanare da te
Per vederti tutta intera
Devo far finta che non ci sei
Per scoprire che sei vera
Questa sera la signora dell'albergo
Ha cucinato le patate come le fai tu
Arrosto un po' croccanti fuori
E morbide nel cuore
Proprio come le fai te
Proprio come te
Proprio come te
Mangiandole mangiavo te
Come una comunione
E son scappato via perché da troppo amore
Non so respirare
Amore, amore, amore, amore
Amore, amore, amore
Questa parola vista da lontano
Mi fa sentire un pellegrino
Un penitente
Un cavaliere errante
Un mezzo deficiente
Io ti amo e fuggo lontano
La misura di quanto ti amo
È il pianeta
Di ogni viaggio lontano da te
Sei la meta
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
Adesso la luce del sole è sparita
La foresta si popola di nuova vita
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
Guardando il sole che fa spazio all'imbrunire
In questa terra lontana da casa
Lontana da te che sei la mia casa
Ovunque tu sia
Tu sei l'anima mia
Sei un campo di malinconia
Quando non sono da te
Sei un campo di frutti dolcissimi
Quando sei qui con me
Contadino del cuore
La mia gioia mi costa sudore
Io ti amo e fuggo lontano
La misura di quanto ti amo
È il pianeta
Di ogni viaggio lontano
Da te sei la meta
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
Mi devo allontanare da te
Per vederti tutta intera
Devo far finta che non ci sei
Per scoprire che sei vera
Questa sera la signora dell'albergo
Ha cucinato le patate come le fai tu
Arrosto un po' croccanti fuori
E morbide nel cuore
Proprio come le fai te
Proprio come te
Proprio come te
Mangiandole mangiavo te
Come una comunione
E son scappato via perché da troppo amore
Non so respirare
Amore, amore, amore, amore
Amore, amore, amore
Questa parola vista da lontano
Mi fa sentire un pellegrino
Un penitente
Un cavaliere errante

Io ti amo e fuggo lontano
La misura di quanto ti amo

Io re magio, tu stella cometa
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
Adesso la luce del sole è sparita
La foresta si popola di nuova vita
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
Io re magio, tu stella cometa

The Night We Met

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
