When we were lovers (lovers)
Feelings
Remembering the accident
The puppy love slipped from your heart
Along with the nonsense
Suddenly you burned our flag
Declared independence
Eternity was cut too short
But I admit
My lover was already gone
I just warmed up the seat
For somebody new
That you wrere bound to meet
That somebody who
Would take the place of me
In your feelings
Gradually you overstayed
Our memories would not be played
To friends in a slide show
There had never been that much to see
At the end of our rainbow
Humidity and last sunbeams
In a vacant lot
My lover was already gone
I just warmed up the seat
For somebody new
That you wrere bound to meet (lovers)
That somebody who
Would take the place of me (lovers)
In your feelings
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
My lover was already gone
I just warmed up the seat
For somebody new
That you wrere bound to meet (lovers)
That somebody who
Would take the place of me (lovers)
In your feelings
When we were lovers
When we were lovers
In your feelings
Feelings
Remembering the accident
The puppy love slipped from your heart
Along with the nonsense
Suddenly you burned our flag
Declared independence
Eternity was cut too short
But I admit
My lover was already gone
I just warmed up the seat
For somebody new
That you wrere bound to meet
That somebody who
Would take the place of me
In your feelings
Gradually you overstayed
Our memories would not be played
To friends in a slide show
There had never been that much to see
At the end of our rainbow
Humidity and last sunbeams
In a vacant lot
My lover was already gone
I just warmed up the seat
For somebody new
That you wrere bound to meet (lovers)
That somebody who
Would take the place of me (lovers)
In your feelings
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
My lover was already gone
I just warmed up the seat
For somebody new
That you wrere bound to meet (lovers)
That somebody who
Would take the place of me (lovers)
In your feelings
When we were lovers
When we were lovers
In your feelings

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,
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Seems pretty straight-forward: a guy and a girl were dating and the guy lost interest pretty fast, assuming he ever had feelings for her at all, and she eventually felt strung along the entire time. She had stronger feelings for him than he did for her.
I like how they use the metaphor of the end of a rainbow to signify the death of their relationship, comparing the usual pot of gold to what a rainbow truly is (mist and sunlight) and ... a whole lot of nothing (an empty lot). Very poetic, I think.
