Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
We got winners, we got losers
Chain smokers and boozers
An' we got yuppies, we got bikers
We got , thirsty hitchhikers
And the girls next door dress up like movie stars
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, I love this bar
We got cowboys, we got truckers
Broken hearted fools and suckers
An' we got hustlers, we got fighters
Early birds and all nighters
And the veterans talk about their battle scars
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, I love this bar
I love this bar
It's my kind of place
Just walkin' through the front door
Puts a big smile on my face
It ain't too far, come as you are
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, I love this bar
I've seen short skirts, we've got high-techs
Blue collared boys and rednecks
An' we got lovers, lots of lookers
An' I've even seen dancin' girls and hookers
And we like to drink our beer from a mason jar
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, I love this bar, yes I do
I like my truck (I like my truck)
An' I like my girlfriend (I like my girlfriend)
I like to take her out to dinner
I like a movie now and then
But I love this bar
It's my kind of place
Just trolling around the dance floor
Puts a big smile on my face
No cover charge, come as you are
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, I love this bar
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, I just love this ol' bar
And we've got divorcees, and a big bouncer man
An old jukebox and a real bad band
We got waitresses, and we got barflies
A dumbass and a wise guy
If you get too drunk, just sleep out in your car
These are numbers six, seven and two why
Mm, mm, mm I just love this bar
Play it on out boys
Beer thirty's over, gotta take it on home
Mm, mm, mm I love this bar
I just love it
Chain smokers and boozers
An' we got yuppies, we got bikers
We got , thirsty hitchhikers
And the girls next door dress up like movie stars
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, I love this bar
We got cowboys, we got truckers
Broken hearted fools and suckers
An' we got hustlers, we got fighters
Early birds and all nighters
And the veterans talk about their battle scars
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, I love this bar
I love this bar
It's my kind of place
Just walkin' through the front door
Puts a big smile on my face
It ain't too far, come as you are
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, I love this bar
I've seen short skirts, we've got high-techs
Blue collared boys and rednecks
An' we got lovers, lots of lookers
An' I've even seen dancin' girls and hookers
And we like to drink our beer from a mason jar
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, I love this bar, yes I do
I like my truck (I like my truck)
An' I like my girlfriend (I like my girlfriend)
I like to take her out to dinner
I like a movie now and then
But I love this bar
It's my kind of place
Just trolling around the dance floor
Puts a big smile on my face
No cover charge, come as you are
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, I love this bar
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, I just love this ol' bar
And we've got divorcees, and a big bouncer man
An old jukebox and a real bad band
We got waitresses, and we got barflies
A dumbass and a wise guy
If you get too drunk, just sleep out in your car
These are numbers six, seven and two why
Mm, mm, mm I just love this bar
Play it on out boys
Beer thirty's over, gotta take it on home
Mm, mm, mm I love this bar
I just love it

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,
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.
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.

Ed Sheeran
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.
