This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk
Music loud and women warm, I've been kicked around
Since I was born
And now it's alright, it's okay
And you may look the other way
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive
Oh, when you walk
Well now, I get low and I get high
And if I can't get either, I really try
Got the wings of Heaven on my shoes
I'm a dancin' man and I just can't lose
You know it's alright, it's okay
I'll live to see another day
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive (oh)
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive (oh)
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me
Somebody help me, yeah
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah
I'm stayin' alive
Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk
Music loud and women warm
I've been kicked around since I was born
And now it's all right, it's okay
And you may look the other way
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive (hey)
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me
Somebody help me, yeah
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah
I'm stayin' alive
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me
Somebody help me, yeah (ah, ah, ah)
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah
I'm stayin' alive
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me
Somebody help me, yeah (ah, ah, ah, ay)
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah
I'm stayin' alive
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me
Somebody help me, yeah (oh)
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah
I'm stayin' alive
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.
"We can try to understand the New York Times' effect on man"
I will personally give you an undisclosed sum if you can tell me, in no uncertain terms, WHAT THE HELL THAT MEANS!
Personally, I feel like The New York Times is an outward manifestation of our society's collective consciousness. Everyone in the nation is all riled up about whatever they see on the cover, then the next morning they forget about it and move on to the next thing. Anything that you see in its pages is taken as truth, just as you can fall in love at first glance on a dance floor. "The New York Times effect" is ceding your self control to society at large, similar to losing yourself in dance at a disco. It's submission, but pleasurable submission, which makes it even more provocative that it's the NYT effect "on Man." The idealized image of Man is Man in control, making it taboo ("look the other way") to recognize Man's desire to cede control to Woman (provided it is done in a highly ritualized courtship ceremony to which we have been sensitized our whole lives - through love stories, movies, and, of course, songs like "Stayin' Alive"). The singer has no such pretensions, admitting he is a "woman's man," and has "been kicked around since he was born." He recognizes that alone, "his life [is] goin' nowhere" and needs "somebody [to] help [him]" - i.e. the woman of his dreams. Of course there is no consciousness more collectively shared than the desire to love and be loved. The way the Bee Gees deliver the line (and indeed the whole song) in perfect harmony and gender-neutral falsetto seems to support this analysis. <br /> <br /> "Try[ing] to understand" it might be impossible, but recognizing it and developing an appreciation for it might make you enjoy the feeling even more, which is all that really matters.<br /> <br /> Still giving out that undisclosed sum? ;)
Brilliant!
