I'm searching for a place to land
You have my life unguarded
Like the deserts miss the rain, I feel the pain

I reach to you my weary hand
A petty man so blinded
Can't wait for you to understand
It's just who I am

Reaching deep, and if I can
Then I will know
Underneath my skin, it will show

Although I've have been wounded,
I know that time will heal
the scars we bear,
and that we'll make them our own
I reach to you my weary hand
A petty man so blinded
Can't wait for you to understand
I need to know who I am

Reaching deep, and if I can
Then I will know
the stream of life will flow
With judging eyes, who'll pass the test?
Unlike before, distinct from the rest
I'm touching down on naked ground,
then walk away without a sound
I'll try my best to realize

All too often I've tried to change
Destination known like the back of my hand
And still with every time
when it slipped out of range,
the trace it left remained unchanged
A fragile trust...in faith I lust

I reach to you my weary hand
A petty man so blinded
I can't wait for you to understand
I need to know who I am

Reaching deep, and if I can
Then I will know
the stream of life will flow
With judging eyes, who'll pass the test?
Unlike before, distinct from the rest
I'm touching down on naked ground,
then walk away without a sound

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,

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
