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.
Let me introduce myself
Let me introduce my bad self
Hundred beats per minute baby
Don't mean shit to me, to me
This ain't no blast, this ain't no blast, this ain't no blast From the past
Future, oh oh, this ain't no blast from the past
Future, no future, your future
My dick's the bomb - baby
Future, your future, your future
Let me introduce myself
Let me introduce my bad self
Hundred beats per minute baby
Don't mean shit to me, to me
Future, oh oh, this ain't no blast from the past
Future, no future, your future
This ain't no minute for me
Let me introduce my bad self
Hundred beats per minute baby
Don't mean shit to me, to me
This ain't no blast, this ain't no blast, this ain't no blast From the past
Future, oh oh, this ain't no blast from the past
Future, no future, your future
My dick's the bomb - baby
Future, your future, your future
Let me introduce myself
Let me introduce my bad self
Hundred beats per minute baby
Don't mean shit to me, to me
Future, oh oh, this ain't no blast from the past
Future, no future, your future
This ain't no minute for me

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”

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,

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.
je'mappelle kochie
