Willow Tree

G. Love and Special Sauce

Let me be your weeping willow tree
Surround you with my lonely
And my day
Let me grow in the shade
In the sand

The banks by your river
Let me drink from your stream
The cool breeze fill my limbs
We will sing together
Water over the bevel

I stand by your side forever
I wish I was a weeping willow tree
I wish I was a weeping willow tree
I wish I was a weeping willow tree
Sweet river caress how softly
?
Maybe the sun in the summers heat
Let it cool you
We have been dancing so long
In the winters freeze
The summers drought
We survive

We belong
Let us sing together
Water over the bevel
I stand by your side forever
I wish I was
Your weeping
Willow tree

I wish I was a weeping willow tree
I wish I was a weeping willow tree
Let us sing together
Water over the bevel
I stand by your side forever
Let us sing together
Water over the bevel

I stand by your side forever
We can sing together
Water over the bevel
I stand by your side forever
Let me be
Your willow tree
Your willow tree

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Gentle Hour
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,

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
