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 was crushed by an angel, was touched by nothing
In the spree of feelings, theres emptiness inbetween
All the times we shared, which ment more to me
Will never be forgotten, a neverending memory
Face me, show me your intrest you are all the same
Come together in formation and kill me like like always
The constant routine that you all seem to call friendliness
Is the constant routine that defines your immoral standards
This sounds like a plan
Knock me up higher and higher, now i cant see the floor
Lets drop my heart from the heavens and have it come crashing
When Hearts Collide and one isnt right
When Hearts collide and you'll never be mine
In the spree of feelings, theres emptiness inbetween
All the times we shared, which ment more to me
Will never be forgotten, a neverending memory
Face me, show me your intrest you are all the same
Come together in formation and kill me like like always
The constant routine that you all seem to call friendliness
Is the constant routine that defines your immoral standards
This sounds like a plan
Knock me up higher and higher, now i cant see the floor
Lets drop my heart from the heavens and have it come crashing
When Hearts Collide and one isnt right
When Hearts collide and you'll never be mine

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,

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.
