...Said Sadly

The Smashing Pumpkins

JI=James Iha, NG=Nina Gordon (of Veruca Salt), J+N=both)

JI: You should know that I love you
We should love like lovers do
And I can't help but fall for you
Oh honey I'm just a fool
Now you know

NG: Darling, I'll never be true
You see, for so long I was blue
JI: I'm not the lonely one
NG: And if I hurt, then you will, too
Oh honey I always lose
Now you know

J+N: Lover, when will you?
JI: I'm so afraid that noone cares
J+N: Lover, can't find you
JI: I swear to God don't leave me here
J+N: Now you know

J+N: Only you know that it can't be
When noone else here really means
JI: Anything to me
J+N: If you hurt inside
If you confide in me again

NG: Since you ran away
JI: Hold me now, tell me how
Nothing's lost

J+N: Lover, when will you?
I'm so afraid that noone cares
Lover, can't find you
And noone knows what brings us here
Lover
JI: Hold me now
NG: Hold me now
JI: Tell me how
J+N: Nothings lost

    This song is on "Aeroplane Flies High" box set. Also on the "Butterfly With Bullet Wings" single. This song is pretty good, remind me of Fleetwood Mac :-). The first time I heard it I thought it was D'arcy. lol :-D

    I downloaded it on Musicmatch Jukebox v10.0 for $.99. I didn't go thru the trouble of ordering it for an outrageous amount of money. I think u should do the same, just download from whatever music site u use. If it doesn't have it, then Musicmatch it's highly successful. ^_^

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”

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,

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Amazing
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.
