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 caught their sparkles from the runways.
Such a fool for the amazon.
Nothing's wrong but it's just not right.
The three of us in the naked light.
No chance for psychotic solutions.
Lost in this three-way dimension.
Imagine you as me and I'll tell you.
Just what I'm thinking.
That is feels like you.
Feels like I.
Feels like we do.
And it feels like, feels like I.
Feels like we do.
And everyone's daze is on.
Look what you've done.
You give yourself away for nothing.
Feels like you.
Feels like I.
Feels like we do.
Look what you've done.
And give it all away for nothing.
Feels like you.
Give it all away for nothing.
Feels like I.
Feels like we do.
When will you escape Dramatica.
Gifts of pleasure you received.
Everything you wanted from me.
Chemical abduction restricted our vision.
We were on auto drive.
Don't blame the platform for your fall.
We were chasing obsession.
Imagine you as me and I'll tell you.
Just what was on my mind that night.
‘Cause it feels like you.
Feels like I.
Feels like we do.
‘Cause it feels like you.
Feels like I.
Feels like we do.
Look what you've done.
Give it all away for nothing.
What's on your mind.
Such a fool for the amazon.
Nothing's wrong but it's just not right.
The three of us in the naked light.
No chance for psychotic solutions.
Lost in this three-way dimension.
Imagine you as me and I'll tell you.
Just what I'm thinking.
That is feels like you.
Feels like I.
Feels like we do.
And it feels like, feels like I.
Feels like we do.
And everyone's daze is on.
Look what you've done.
You give yourself away for nothing.
Feels like you.
Feels like I.
Feels like we do.
Look what you've done.
And give it all away for nothing.
Feels like you.
Give it all away for nothing.
Feels like I.
Feels like we do.
When will you escape Dramatica.
Gifts of pleasure you received.
Everything you wanted from me.
Chemical abduction restricted our vision.
We were on auto drive.
Don't blame the platform for your fall.
We were chasing obsession.
Imagine you as me and I'll tell you.
Just what was on my mind that night.
‘Cause it feels like you.
Feels like I.
Feels like we do.
‘Cause it feels like you.
Feels like I.
Feels like we do.
Look what you've done.
Give it all away for nothing.
What's on your mind.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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.

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 shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
No, your wrong. This is a continuation of Dizzy, how you would do anything to be known. I like your thought though.
