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.
Nutty nutmeg phantasy
Can't you see you and me
In my nutty nutmeg phantasy
Nutty nutmeg phantasy
You and me
Can't you see
You and me
In my nutty nutmeg
Baby I know we had a bad day
You are so mad at me
It don't mean we have to mope around
Picture us on the moon
Happy like a cartoon
Believe in love and it will come down
Nutty nutmeg phantasy
Can't you see you and me
In my nutty nutmeg phantasy
Nutty nutmeg phantasy
You and me
Can't you see
You and me
In my nutty nutmeg
Picture if I was understanding
And you were less demanding
And the only time we scream and shout
Is when we're making love babe
On top of cloud 8
Believe in love and it will come down
Nutty nutmeg phantasy
Can't you see you and me
In my nutty nutmeg phantasy
Nutty nutmeg phantasy
You and me
Can't you see
You and me
In my nutty nutmeg
Imagine and maybe it will happen
You and me till the end
May be a dream but it's real to me
Chocolate covered roses
Love in massive doses
In my nutmeg phanta-ta-sy
Nutty nutmeg phantasy
Can't you see you and me
In my nutty nutmeg phantasy
Nutty nutmeg phantasy
You and me
Can't you see
You and me
In my nutty nutmeg
Can't you see you and me
In my nutty nutmeg phantasy
Nutty nutmeg phantasy
You and me
Can't you see
You and me
In my nutty nutmeg
Baby I know we had a bad day
You are so mad at me
It don't mean we have to mope around
Picture us on the moon
Happy like a cartoon
Believe in love and it will come down
Nutty nutmeg phantasy
Can't you see you and me
In my nutty nutmeg phantasy
Nutty nutmeg phantasy
You and me
Can't you see
You and me
In my nutty nutmeg
Picture if I was understanding
And you were less demanding
And the only time we scream and shout
Is when we're making love babe
On top of cloud 8
Believe in love and it will come down
Nutty nutmeg phantasy
Can't you see you and me
In my nutty nutmeg phantasy
Nutty nutmeg phantasy
You and me
Can't you see
You and me
In my nutty nutmeg
Imagine and maybe it will happen
You and me till the end
May be a dream but it's real to me
Chocolate covered roses
Love in massive doses
In my nutmeg phanta-ta-sy
Nutty nutmeg phantasy
Can't you see you and me
In my nutty nutmeg phantasy
Nutty nutmeg phantasy
You and me
Can't you see
You and me
In my nutty nutmeg

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,
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
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 thought My Nutmeg Fantasy was a hint about My Black Fantasy. (Nutmeg is brown)
