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.
"Hello nobody. Tonight we have a very special musical presentation.
So, kick back and stretch your sack 'cause here's Kyuss with UN Sandpiper."
"Don't fuck up."
"Don't fuck yourself."
Die for you to take your own life, it's my own life
Lie the not, die it is true to the same, two to the same
When you can't see nothin' it's all the same
I'm still thinkin' that you're to blame
Die for your to take your own life, it's my fuckin' life
Lie the not, die it is true to the same, two to the same, yeah, yea
Yeah, yeah, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Cut in the soul it's the times I can see
Cut in the soul it's the times I can see
Cut in the soul it's the times I can see
Cut in the soul it's the times I can see
Cut in the soul it's the times I can see
Yeah, yeah
Yow, oooyowm ooooyow, yooooyow, yeahooow
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sold it, solo, solar, solar, solar, solar, solar, oh
So, kick back and stretch your sack 'cause here's Kyuss with UN Sandpiper."
"Don't fuck up."
"Don't fuck yourself."
Die for you to take your own life, it's my own life
Lie the not, die it is true to the same, two to the same
When you can't see nothin' it's all the same
I'm still thinkin' that you're to blame
Die for your to take your own life, it's my fuckin' life
Lie the not, die it is true to the same, two to the same, yeah, yea
Yeah, yeah, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Cut in the soul it's the times I can see
Cut in the soul it's the times I can see
Cut in the soul it's the times I can see
Cut in the soul it's the times I can see
Cut in the soul it's the times I can see
Yeah, yeah
Yow, oooyowm ooooyow, yooooyow, yeahooow
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sold it, solo, solar, solar, solar, solar, solar, oh

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.
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.
^^^ Second'd!
The lyrics are prolly, like many Kyuss songs, about some Band internal joke or something.
