Ode An Den Niedergang

Eisregen

Mein Blut kocht
Mein Fleisch ist voll von Sunde
Die Seele brennt in kaltem Feuer
Meine einzige Triebfeder auf Erden
Ist nackter Ha?...

Dein Leben... fur mich...
Dein Fleisch... sei mein...
Deine Seele... fur mich...

Reich mir deine Hand
Ich werd dich fuhren zu neuen Ufern
Verlasse dieses Leben das du so verachtest
Und komm zu mir...

Vergangene Zeiten werden wiederkehren
Das was einst war, wird wieder sein
Was Christus uns raubte, wird wieder regieren
In Dunkelheit, die das Licht verbrennt

Die Nacht wird dir gehoren
Dein Blut, gereinigt von Leid
Abgewandt von Jesus, dem Bastard

Erfahrst du wahre Starke
Verschlie?e dich vor dem Licht der Schwachen
Tauche ein in das Meer der Schwarze

Bete mich an...
denn eines Tages werde ich die Tore offnen
Denn mein ist die Ewigkeit
Mein ist das Reich
Und der Niedergang der Seeligkeit
Auf Erden...

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.
