This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
It's always something small in the beginning
Just a careless thought said without thinking
That makes the chain react
and there's no taking back, Oh
Soon we're drawing swords and making circles
Tiptoeing round the thing that really hurts most
Too stubbonr to stand down
Too proud to turn around, Oh
Caught in a Crescendo, Crescendo, Crescendo
And none of us can
let go, let go, let go
It's out of our control, control, control
And I can't stand the noise
Oh, oh
You look me in the eye, I keep on staring
Straight ahead like I'm not even caring
But we both know this game
It's all a masquerade
Oh, oh
And I know later on we'll both regret it
But while the moment's here we can't forget it
Before we know we're stuck
Turn our emotions up
Oh, oh
Caught in a Crescendo, Crescendo, Crescendo
And none of us can
let go, let go, let go
It's out of our control, control, control
And I can't stand the noise
Oh, oh
Can we stop and talk it over
Instead of talking over ourselves
Can we stop and talk it over
Over, over, over
We kee getting louder,
We kee getting louder,
We kee getting louder,
And I can't stand the noise
Oh, oh
Caught in a Crescendo, Crescendo, Crescendo
And none of us can
let go, let go, let go
It's out of our control, control, control
And I can't stand the noise
Oh, oh
Can we stop and talk it over
Instead of talking over ourselves
Can we stop and talk it over
Over, over, over
Just a careless thought said without thinking
That makes the chain react
and there's no taking back, Oh
Soon we're drawing swords and making circles
Tiptoeing round the thing that really hurts most
Too stubbonr to stand down
Too proud to turn around, Oh
Caught in a Crescendo, Crescendo, Crescendo
And none of us can
let go, let go, let go
It's out of our control, control, control
And I can't stand the noise
Oh, oh
You look me in the eye, I keep on staring
Straight ahead like I'm not even caring
But we both know this game
It's all a masquerade
Oh, oh
And I know later on we'll both regret it
But while the moment's here we can't forget it
Before we know we're stuck
Turn our emotions up
Oh, oh
Caught in a Crescendo, Crescendo, Crescendo
And none of us can
let go, let go, let go
It's out of our control, control, control
And I can't stand the noise
Oh, oh
Can we stop and talk it over
Instead of talking over ourselves
Can we stop and talk it over
Over, over, over
We kee getting louder,
We kee getting louder,
We kee getting louder,
And I can't stand the noise
Oh, oh
Caught in a Crescendo, Crescendo, Crescendo
And none of us can
let go, let go, let go
It's out of our control, control, control
And I can't stand the noise
Oh, oh
Can we stop and talk it over
Instead of talking over ourselves
Can we stop and talk it over
Over, over, over

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,
Amazing

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.

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.
