Noyés de bleu sous le ciel grec
Un bateau, deux bateaux
Trois bateaux s'en vont chantant

Griffant le ciel à coups de bec
Un oiseau, deux oiseaux
Trois oiseaux font du beau temps

Dans les ruelles, d'un coup sec
Un volet, deux volets
Trois volets claquent au vent

Et faisant une ronde avec
Un enfant, deux enfants
Trois enfants dansent gaiement

Mon Dieu, que j'aime
Ce port du bout du monde
Que le soleil inonde
De ses reflets dorés

Mon Dieu, que j'aime
Sous leurs bonnets oranges
Tous les visages d'ange
Des enfants du Pirée

Je rêve aussi d'avoir un jour
Un enfant, deux enfants
Trois enfants jouant comme eux

Le long du quai flânent toujours
Une marin, deux marins
Trois marins aventureux

De notre amour, on se fera
Un amour, dix amours
Mille amours noyés de bleu

Et nos enfants feront des gars
Que les filles, un beau jour
À leur tour rendront heureux

Mon Dieu, que j'aime
Ce port du bout du monde
Que le soleil inonde
De ses reflets dorés

Mon Dieu, que j'aime
Sous leurs bonnets oranges
Tous les visages d'ange
Des enfants du Pirée

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

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.
