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.
Hush my love now don't you cry
Everything will be all right
Close your eyes and drift in dream
Rest in peaceful sleep
If there's one thing I hope
I've showed you
If there's one thing I hope
I've showed you
Hope I showed you
Just give love to all
Just give love to all
Just give love to all
Oh my love, in my arms tight
Every day you give me life
As I drift off to your world
Will rest in peaceful sleep
I know there's one thing that you've shown me
I know there's one thing that you've shown me
That you've shown me
Just give love to all
Just give love to all
Just give love to all
Let's give love to all
Let's give love to all
Just give love to all
Let's give love to all
Just give love to all
Let's give love to all
Everything will be all right
Close your eyes and drift in dream
Rest in peaceful sleep
If there's one thing I hope
I've showed you
If there's one thing I hope
I've showed you
Hope I showed you
Just give love to all
Just give love to all
Just give love to all
Oh my love, in my arms tight
Every day you give me life
As I drift off to your world
Will rest in peaceful sleep
I know there's one thing that you've shown me
I know there's one thing that you've shown me
That you've shown me
Just give love to all
Just give love to all
Just give love to all
Let's give love to all
Let's give love to all
Just give love to all
Let's give love to all
Just give love to all
Let's give love to all

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,
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Blue
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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
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.
To speak ill of, in any way, a song that depicts a parent's love for their child is to speak ill of life itself. Nerd Im very sorry for the obviously painful life you have had to lead without enough love to fill your heart. This world needs more songs like this to give poor misguided people like yourself a chance to feel something. It is unfortunate that you are so sheilded against feeling and emotion because you were never shown love that you have to attempt to express yourself by trying to put down others because you do not know any better. Unfortunately the world must have people like you to show the rest of us just how lucky we are. This is an amazing song with lyrics that can be incredibly powerful if understood.
Who're you talking to? =/
Oh yeah, that nerd guy down there. That was a couple years ago. D|
