This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I hold my hands in front of me to block my line of sight
It seems my eyes are growing tired of staring in the light
The more I see, the more I feel, the less I want to know
Because if you think to much you'll blow your mind
You might just lose control and scream
I walk the line ahead of me my eyes fixed to the ground
I hear a voice that calls to me I don't dare make a sound
You can see the hate you can taste the anger
You can hold it in your hands
I could take a knife and split it open but still I wouldn't understand
And I scream from the earth
I scream at the sky
And I scream for all I'm worth
I hope you're coming soon
I hope you're coming soon
So many people
Believe in life
I hope you're coming soon
Something just occurred to me that I think I knew before
It comes to me like a creeping shadow
Like a light from a half closed door
Do I think too much or not enough
Do I even have a clue
Because here I stand a single person
Is there anything I can do
And I scream from the earth
I scream at the sky
And I scream for all I'm worth
I hope you're coming soon
And I scream from the earth
I scream at the sky
And I scream for all I'm worth
I hope you're coming soon
I hope you're coming soon
It seems my eyes are growing tired of staring in the light
The more I see, the more I feel, the less I want to know
Because if you think to much you'll blow your mind
You might just lose control and scream
I walk the line ahead of me my eyes fixed to the ground
I hear a voice that calls to me I don't dare make a sound
You can see the hate you can taste the anger
You can hold it in your hands
I could take a knife and split it open but still I wouldn't understand
And I scream from the earth
I scream at the sky
And I scream for all I'm worth
I hope you're coming soon
I hope you're coming soon
So many people
Believe in life
I hope you're coming soon
Something just occurred to me that I think I knew before
It comes to me like a creeping shadow
Like a light from a half closed door
Do I think too much or not enough
Do I even have a clue
Because here I stand a single person
Is there anything I can do
And I scream from the earth
I scream at the sky
And I scream for all I'm worth
I hope you're coming soon
And I scream from the earth
I scream at the sky
And I scream for all I'm worth
I hope you're coming soon
I hope you're coming soon

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,
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
This is much better uptempo live than the slower, studio version I've heard.
