Think of all the things I do,
'Cause I still hold the thought of you,
For someone else I know it's true so far away,
And I can only hold hold my breath,
And start to die a lonely death,
With you and me and all the rest, so far away,
Don't say I told you so,
One thing you'll never know,

You're not the same,
You've changed,
I don't need you anyways,
You're not the person, that I believed in yesterday,
You're not the same,
You've changed,
I don't need you anyways,
You're not the person, that I believed in yesterday,

I can hold it back you see,
I know it all comes back to me,
You must have practiced hard to be so far away,
You never wanted me to to show,
Just write me up, I'll let you go,
And now there's more for you to know so far away,
Don't say I told you so,
One thing you'll never know,

You're not the same,
You've changed,
I don't need you anyways,
You're not the person, that I believed in yesterday,
You're not the same,
You've changed,
Something's missing anyways,
You're not the person, that I believed in yesterday.

    Yeah, this song is totally awesome. I think it is about someone changing (obviously) and now the narrator doesn't like 'em all that much. I love this song, I first heard of these guys of Punkzilla, and they rock.

    Yeah, Bodyjar rock out all over Australia they are awesome. I've got How it Works and Plastic Skies, two of their albums and they are both great. This would have to be close to their best song though.

    Bodyjar's best song along with One In A Million. I saw these guys at the uni bar a couple of months back along with one dollar short and i have to say that although i would probly prefer ODS, bodyjar put on a much better show. Good Shit

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,

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
Plastic Bag
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.
