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.
Yeah you are my girlfriend......My only best friend
Shining like a bright star....you took so long to find.
I wanna do what lovers do......
Kiss.......cuddle Mmmm girl.........I'm here to please you.
They think we're young but girl it don't mean a thing.
Cos nothing can fill me like the love you bring
We can talk. We can walk and share joke in park.
But when we're alone The loving games we'll start.
CHORUS:
(Girlfriend) You took so long to find. You are my best friend.
(Girlfriend) So soft and tender (NO one compares with you)
And now you are my girlfriend.
Should I lay you down........Or is it all to much?
I'll take you in my arms.....So soft and tender to touch
Yeah....I'll be so gentile......I won't cause you pain.
The way I feel right now.....I wanna go all the way.
Do you think we should I know we should Our love is strong.
A deeper understanding girl. Our love is not wrong.
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah) My one and only.
CHORUS
So when the loving's over I still want you close.
We'll curl up together that's what I need.
And I'll stay with you 'Till the moring comes
And while you sleep I'll watch you brething.
CHORUS
Shining like a bright star....you took so long to find.
I wanna do what lovers do......
Kiss.......cuddle Mmmm girl.........I'm here to please you.
They think we're young but girl it don't mean a thing.
Cos nothing can fill me like the love you bring
We can talk. We can walk and share joke in park.
But when we're alone The loving games we'll start.
CHORUS:
(Girlfriend) You took so long to find. You are my best friend.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Gentle Hour

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.
