This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
How did we come to this?
When did we reach that fork in the road
That carried us from our home?
Where did we go wrong?
How could we lose the words to our song
When we were writing it all along?
And how could something beautiful
Turn into something ugly
And change right before our eyes?
And how could something wonderful
Just fade away and slip into
Something that we try to hide from?
What we've become; a mere shadow of the lovers we used to be
Don't you see?
Where do we go from here?
Can we reclaim all that we have lost
And start all over again?
Can we afford the cost?
Should we risk the chance of losing it all
Or walk away now as friends?
And how does something beautiful
Just fade into a memory
Stored there for a rainy day?
And how does something wonderful
Get tossed aside or thrown away
Like something that is broken or frayed?
What a mess we've made
Shards of hearts they splinter beneath our feet
Yet we refuse to retreat
So think about tomorrow
And forgive all the wrongs of today
We should know better than to
Let our pride get in the way
We can make it better
We can save what we have
If we try to rise above our faults
We can make it beautiful
Turn from something ugly
And change right before our eyes
And we could make it wonderful
Just turn our backs on yesterday
And focus on the love that we've made
'Cause we have something beautiful
It's something that's invaluable,
Like waking to a brand new day
What we have is wonderful
It's sublime, it's magical.divine, it's beautiful
When did we reach that fork in the road
That carried us from our home?
Where did we go wrong?
How could we lose the words to our song
When we were writing it all along?
And how could something beautiful
Turn into something ugly
And change right before our eyes?
And how could something wonderful
Just fade away and slip into
Something that we try to hide from?
What we've become; a mere shadow of the lovers we used to be
Don't you see?
Where do we go from here?
Can we reclaim all that we have lost
And start all over again?
Can we afford the cost?
Should we risk the chance of losing it all
Or walk away now as friends?
And how does something beautiful
Just fade into a memory
Stored there for a rainy day?
And how does something wonderful
Get tossed aside or thrown away
Like something that is broken or frayed?
What a mess we've made
Shards of hearts they splinter beneath our feet
Yet we refuse to retreat
So think about tomorrow
And forgive all the wrongs of today
We should know better than to
Let our pride get in the way
We can make it better
We can save what we have
If we try to rise above our faults
We can make it beautiful
Turn from something ugly
And change right before our eyes
And we could make it wonderful
Just turn our backs on yesterday
And focus on the love that we've made
'Cause we have something beautiful
It's something that's invaluable,
Like waking to a brand new day
What we have is wonderful
It's sublime, it's magical.divine, it's beautiful

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”
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."
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,
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.
