What do I gotta do to make you love me?
What do I gotta do to make you care?
What do I do when lightning strikes me?
And awake to find that you're not there?
What do I do to make you want me?
What have I gotta do to be heard?
What do I say when it's all over?
And sorry seems to be the hardest word
It's sad (so sad), so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad (so sad), so sad
Why can't we talk it over?
Oh, it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word
It's sad (so sad), so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad (so sad), so sad
Why can't we talk it over?
Oh, it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word
What do I do to make you love me? Oh
What have I gotta do to be heard?
What do I do when lightning strikes me?
What've I gotta do?
What've I gotta do?
Ooh, when sorry seems to be the hardest word
What do I gotta do to make you care?
What do I do when lightning strikes me?
And awake to find that you're not there?
What do I do to make you want me?
What have I gotta do to be heard?
What do I say when it's all over?
And sorry seems to be the hardest word
It's sad (so sad), so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad (so sad), so sad
Why can't we talk it over?
Oh, it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word
It's sad (so sad), so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad (so sad), so sad
Why can't we talk it over?
Oh, it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word
What do I do to make you love me? Oh
What have I gotta do to be heard?
What do I do when lightning strikes me?
What've I gotta do?
What've I gotta do?
Ooh, when sorry seems to be the hardest word

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,
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I listen to it quite often and every time I realize how much is hidden behind all this simplicity. You can't make someone love you, if he or she doesn't want it and you never know what, actually, to say when it's all over, and it gives you a pain to manage any word.
And these sad situations get absurd so often.
