This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I am just one man with his one pair of eyes
I dress in normal clothes and I don't try to disguise
I'm looking out for love however it may seem
I never do return in the always winning team
Maybe I should try to live alone,
Or raise the flag of mercy to unknown
Maybe I should run and hide away
Until another day
Another crack in my heart,
Another picture on the wall
Another way to spend an evening
When there's no one there at all
Another kiss to say goodbye,
Another cross upon a chart
Another suitcase at the door
Another crack in my heart
In my heart
I had my spills and thrills of love
And held it in my hand
I held on tight until it broke
And I crashed to the ground
Love cannot be on my side
It's clearer every dull
That every time I reach for love
It always runs away
Maybe I should try to live alone,
Or raise the flag of mercy to unknown
Maybe I should run and hide away
Until another day
Another crack in my heart,
Another picture on the wall
Another way to spend an evening
When there's no one there at all
Another kiss to say goodbye,
Another cross upon a chart
Another suitcase at the door
Another crack in my heart
In my heart
I dress in normal clothes and I don't try to disguise
I'm looking out for love however it may seem
I never do return in the always winning team
Maybe I should try to live alone,
Or raise the flag of mercy to unknown
Maybe I should run and hide away
Until another day
Another crack in my heart,
Another picture on the wall
Another way to spend an evening
When there's no one there at all
Another kiss to say goodbye,
Another cross upon a chart
Another suitcase at the door
Another crack in my heart
In my heart
I had my spills and thrills of love
And held it in my hand
I held on tight until it broke
And I crashed to the ground
Love cannot be on my side
It's clearer every dull
That every time I reach for love
It always runs away
Maybe I should try to live alone,
Or raise the flag of mercy to unknown
Maybe I should run and hide away
Until another day
Another crack in my heart,
Another picture on the wall
Another way to spend an evening
When there's no one there at all
Another kiss to say goodbye,
Another cross upon a chart
Another suitcase at the door
Another crack in my heart
In my heart

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.
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
This is my fave take that song... Its about A failure with love...
He is singin bout how yet ANOTHER gurl has broken his heart! How he is wishin 2 find that special sum1.
