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.
I feel you drawing near
And I will show no fear
No pleasure be denied me
A hunger grows inside me
I need your fiery kisses
Thrill me with your icy touch
What mortal lover would
Ever hope to give a woman this much
Dream lover, dream lover
Deceiver, Reliever
Dream lover, dark brother
I’ll open my soul just to give you my whole
Man’s greed has known no boundaries
His cruelty has no end
I feel desire as you do
So why need it so offend you?
Speak not your words of anger
Carnal acts by the Devil’s will
I don’t hear your accusations
Someone slipped me a happiness pill
And I will show no fear
No pleasure be denied me
A hunger grows inside me
I need your fiery kisses
Thrill me with your icy touch
What mortal lover would
Ever hope to give a woman this much
Dream lover, dream lover
Deceiver, Reliever
Dream lover, dark brother
I’ll open my soul just to give you my whole
Man’s greed has known no boundaries
His cruelty has no end
I feel desire as you do
So why need it so offend you?
Speak not your words of anger
Carnal acts by the Devil’s will
I don’t hear your accusations
Someone slipped me a happiness pill

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,
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.

Eskate85 is right, in a manner. There is no love in this song. Incubi are mythical demons that have intercourse with sleeping women.
