This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
When I first saw you, I already knew
There was something inside of you
Something I thought that I would never find
Angel of mine
I look at you, looking at me
Now I know why they say the best things are free
Gonna love you, boy, you are so fine
Angel of mine
How you changed my world you'll never know
I'm different now, you helped me grow
You came into my life
Sent from above
When I lost all hope
You showed me love
I'm checking for you, boy
You're right on time
Angel of mine
Nothing means more to me than what we share
No one in this whole world can ever compare
Last night, the way you moved is still on my mind
Angel of mine
What you mean to me you'll never know
Deep inside, I need to show
You came into my life
Sent from above (sent from above)
When I lost all hope
Boy, you showed me love
I'm checking for you, boy
You're right on time (right on time)
Angel of mine (Angel of mine)
I never knew I could feel each moment
As if it were new
Every breath that I take
The love that we make
I only share it with you
You, you, you, you
When I first saw you, I already knew
There was something inside of you
Something I thought that I would never find
Angel of mine
You came into my life (came into my life, yeah)
Sent from above
When I lost all hope
You showed me love (boy, you showed me love, uh-huh)
I'm checking for you
You're right on time (but boy, you're right on time)
Angel of mine (Angel of mine, oh, mine)
How you changed my world you'll never know
I'm different now, you helped me grow
I look at you, looking at me
Now I know why they say the best things are free
Checking for you, boy
You're right on time
Angel of mine
There was something inside of you
Something I thought that I would never find
Angel of mine
I look at you, looking at me
Now I know why they say the best things are free
Gonna love you, boy, you are so fine
Angel of mine
How you changed my world you'll never know
I'm different now, you helped me grow
You came into my life
Sent from above
When I lost all hope
You showed me love
I'm checking for you, boy
You're right on time
Angel of mine
Nothing means more to me than what we share
No one in this whole world can ever compare
Last night, the way you moved is still on my mind
Angel of mine
What you mean to me you'll never know
Deep inside, I need to show
You came into my life
Sent from above (sent from above)
When I lost all hope
Boy, you showed me love
I'm checking for you, boy
You're right on time (right on time)
Angel of mine (Angel of mine)
I never knew I could feel each moment
As if it were new
Every breath that I take
The love that we make
I only share it with you
You, you, you, you
When I first saw you, I already knew
There was something inside of you
Something I thought that I would never find
Angel of mine
You came into my life (came into my life, yeah)
Sent from above
When I lost all hope
You showed me love (boy, you showed me love, uh-huh)
I'm checking for you
You're right on time (but boy, you're right on time)
Angel of mine (Angel of mine, oh, mine)
How you changed my world you'll never know
I'm different now, you helped me grow
I look at you, looking at me
Now I know why they say the best things are free
Checking for you, boy
You're right on time
Angel of mine

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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,

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.
