Cruel bagged then snagged is how I want things done.
I want the best in my life and I'll please anyone.
I'm strapped into this chair watching TV that's aired live across the globe, I smell!
Throw your attention over here I've got something to say
It won't change your life, but that's "cool" these days.
And now an ad is on.
The show is gone from the box in front of me.
My eyes are burning radiation from the microwave that's on it's cooking my meal,
It's a TV dinner and I think it's fake veal.
You can't burn it in the microwave and if I did, hey, I could order out anyway.
You can't burn it in the microwave and if you did, hey.
You've been created from an image of love.
You've been created in an image of God.
Too complex I go to rest I can't seem to get things done.
I'm a woman with a mouth and I'm prepared to switch it on.
I've just come back from all this walking 'cause I'm losing weight
Was talking with a friend of Sharon's mum, fat was out, I looked dumb.
I saw myself in the mirror and I guess I'm getting thinner.
I've been taking all these pills, I better eat some meals
But what's the point? will I see clearer or will I be bigger?
I go to church every Sunday, but when it comes Monday
I'm back at work where I scream and curse
I talk real dirty to people make them think I'm real cool
My life's so simply complex
I leave small groups are on, but what is that as I slam down the phone.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Gentle Hour

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,
