A great sunny day, jump in the pick-up
And we'll go to the park, don't delay.
I know just the place, under the willow tree
The kids they all run and they play for so long,
They get you singing their song,
It's a bright and joyful melody,
Just kick off your blues, join in, be carefree.

Don't you know that everything is gonna be alright,
And haven't you heard the Father never lets you
Out of His sight, no no no no.

A great sunny day, love to be living
And I know there's just no better way to be in the race,
Than giving up everything I know
That hindered my pace for so long,
You got me singing your song,
There's a bright and joyful melody,
Just put on my shoes, join in, be carefree.

Don't you know that everything is gonna be alright,
And haven't you heard the Father never lets you
Out of His sight, no no no no.

But He gives you room to grow,
And He wants to let you know
That He really cares about you and me.
So be free, go and run your race, don't be late,
Go and fight the good fight of faith,
And just like a child be carefree.

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,

Blue
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.

Page
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.
