This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Say goodbye to a tangerine sky say hello say hello to tomorrow, when you say goodbye
To a tangerine sky you lose your pain lose your fear lose your sorrow
What if you were livin' yours instead of hatin' mine findin' truth and spreadin' love and searchin'
Deep inside, see me glidin' swiftly to that place I need to be that home grown irie zone
Harvesting my seeds
I'm gonna live my life from day to night with no hesitation
Make the best of every situation that I find myself placed in
Decidin' right from wrong, choosing my final destination
Cause when it's said and done, it's just yourself that you are facin'
Say goodbye to a tangerine sky say hello say hello to tomorrow- when you say goodbye to a
Tangerine sky you lose your pain lose your fear lose your sorrow
Say Say
Say good-bye to tomorrow
Wash your sorrow
Live and learn
Listen up and follow
Do what you so let me rock it
I be dammed if you think you gonna stop it
Popo it drop it D-Loc get up on it
Don't you think your sink cause you can't call it
I be the one that balled you up in college
Killa cross just brake you down Kottonmouth Kings on the radio now
Make you think when you see my face D-Loc with style and grace
I want to touch the sky unleash control want to feel time travel real through my soul want to ride real
High want to lay real low independent free thought control my zone my zones full blown like a
Plant full grown transform myself through this microphone – Hold up
Change that tone Johnny
Richter come through with your barritone
It's time to open up your eyes and catch sight
'Cause you could wake up in the morning, and not make it to the night
Take advantage of your life, you only get one try
You gonna be satisfied today if tonight you died?
Well I'm not that guy, I keep my blood runnin'
You say you've had enough, and I say keep it comin
Now you're bummed because you're done and you're left all alone
Should've known livin blown you'd end up like a clone WHAATTTT!
Say goodbye to a tangerine sky say hello say hello to tomorrow- when you say goodbye to a
Tangerine sky you lose your pain lose your fear lose your sorrow
It's not a place on any map it's Kaya meditation that home grown herbal zone peaceful
Medication at peace no understandin no condition but love at peace all accepting to the sky above
Say goodbye to a tangerine sky say hello say hello to tomorrow- when you say goodbye to a
Tangerine sky you lose your pain lose your fear lose your sorrow
To a tangerine sky you lose your pain lose your fear lose your sorrow

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
this song is about about living life to the fullest. And not caring what anyone else says, just as long as at the end of the day you feel fulfilled. And you can look at a beautiful sunset and see it for what it is i dont think it has anythin to do with maturity.
