Friday night, butterflies - Like clock work, they'd arive
A little chill in an October sky - Nervous til' the kickoff came
Four quarters, win or lose - Spent Saturdays black and blue
But it was what I loved to do and it was more than just a game

It was my life and it was fun - Another season of my life, it's done
Another race I'm glad I got to run - Another chapter of my life, it's over
No, I'm never gonna feel like that again - Time's rushin' by me like the wind
Never be as young as I was then - No, I'm never gonna feel like that again

Practice dancin' in my garage - Two left feet and a white corsage
Daddy let me borrow the Dodge - Said "Don't bring her home on empty."
I swung by and picked up Cindy Lou - Took her to the prom for a dance or two
Then we drove down to the water, blue - And that's where she kissed me

It was my life and it was fun - Another season of my life, it's done
Another race I'm glad I got to run - Another chapter of my life, it's over
No, I'm never gonna feel like that again - Time's rushin' by me like the wind
Never be as young as I was then - No, I'm never gonna feel like that again

I got a call one July day - Cindy Lou was in that way
I had a big decision to make, and I couldn't take it lightly
At first I thought of leavin town - But I couldn't let our families down
Now I'm out here throwin this ball around with a boy that looks just like me

Well, it's my life and it's sure fun - Another season of my life's begun
Another race I'm glad I get to run - Another chapter of my life, I'm writing
No, I'm never gonna feel like this again - Time's rushin' by me like the wind
Gotta grab each moment that I can - Cuz' I'm never gonna feel like this again

No, I'm never gonna feel like this again
No, I'm never gonna feel like this again

    I agree with tugit. The opening verse of this song always reminds me of my senior year of high school football. All the memories...the wins, the losses, and the heartbreaking end to it all.

    Brings a tear to my eye on some nights.

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,

Magical
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 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.
