This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I call you up on the phone
I call you up, get you on the line
I call you up on the phone
But I can't see you smile
I think of you when I'm gone
I think of you, honey, all the time
I think of you when I'm gone
But I can't see you smile
How the story ends, baby, I don't know
And what's to come, I can't say
And how the story ends, baby, I don't know
Maybe I'll stop travelling some day
I count the days while we're apart
I count the days and I count the miles
I count the days that we're apart
Until I can see you smile
I know that you feel just the same
You wish that I wasn't gone so long
I write this down from so far away
Now I'm coming home
I love you there's no doubt
Your picture is hung above my bed
I look at it as we're travelling around
But I wish I were holding you instead
Well it's a long and windy road
Our love is strong and the future's bright
It's a long and windy road
Until we reach the light
I know things are going to be all right
Because you're in my dreams when I sleep at night
You turn around and you look at me
And I can see you smile
I can see you smile (repeats)
I call you up, get you on the line
I call you up on the phone
But I can't see you smile
I think of you when I'm gone
I think of you, honey, all the time
I think of you when I'm gone
But I can't see you smile
How the story ends, baby, I don't know
And what's to come, I can't say
And how the story ends, baby, I don't know
Maybe I'll stop travelling some day
I count the days while we're apart
I count the days and I count the miles
I count the days that we're apart
Until I can see you smile
I know that you feel just the same
You wish that I wasn't gone so long
I write this down from so far away
Now I'm coming home
I love you there's no doubt
Your picture is hung above my bed
I look at it as we're travelling around
But I wish I were holding you instead
Well it's a long and windy road
Our love is strong and the future's bright
It's a long and windy road
Until we reach the light
I know things are going to be all right
Because you're in my dreams when I sleep at night
You turn around and you look at me
And I can see you smile
I can see you smile (repeats)

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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,
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I liked this song to begin with anyway, but it really hits home now that I live 400 miles from my girlfriend. It really is tough being so far apart from the one you love. We talk on the phone every day and I have her picture on my desk, but it's just not the same as visiting her, holding her, and seeing her smile. sigh
