This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
The wind blew up the wind blew down
It brought some drops of rain
My own true love is only one
And she in the grave has lain
Ah weep your tear and make a moan
As many a lover may
And sit and grieve upon her grave
For a season and a day
And when the season's past and gone
The fair young maid did say
What man is weeping on my grave
The night and most the day
Tis I tis I my fair young love
That can no longer sleep
For want of a kiss of your darling lips
The day and night I seek
Cold clay I am my lips cold clay
To kiss them would be wrong
For if you go against God's law
Your time will not be long
See there see there the sun has set
The day has past for e'er
You cannot bring it back again
By means foul or fair
See there alas the garden green
Where often we did walk
The fairest flower that e'er was seen
Is withered at the stalk
Our own hearts too will die my love
And like the stalk decay
So all that you can do my love
Is to wait your dying day
It brought some drops of rain
My own true love is only one
And she in the grave has lain
Ah weep your tear and make a moan
As many a lover may
And sit and grieve upon her grave
For a season and a day
And when the season's past and gone
The fair young maid did say
What man is weeping on my grave
The night and most the day
Tis I tis I my fair young love
That can no longer sleep
For want of a kiss of your darling lips
The day and night I seek
Cold clay I am my lips cold clay
To kiss them would be wrong
For if you go against God's law
Your time will not be long
See there see there the sun has set
The day has past for e'er
You cannot bring it back again
By means foul or fair
See there alas the garden green
Where often we did walk
The fairest flower that e'er was seen
Is withered at the stalk
Our own hearts too will die my love
And like the stalk decay
So all that you can do my love
Is to wait your dying day

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.

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.
