I learned a lot today
You've been teaching
Things that I don't want to know
I had so much to say
I thought I knew the answers
But it seems so long ago
And I wish there was another way
That didn't hurt so much

I'm learning that I can say goodbye
I'm learning that I can be strong inside
I'm ready, I'm ready to get it right
I'm learning about life

I've learned a lot so far
It got me thinking
What will happen down the road?
Sure I'll make mistakes
But I'll keep dreaming
They might come true you never know
And I wish there was another way
That didn't make me cry

I'm learning that I can say goodbye
I'm learning that I can be strong inside
I'm ready, I'm ready to get it right
I'm learning about life

I gotta long, long way to go
Where I'm goin' I dunno but
I'll be alright
Just you wait and see
I learned a lot today
You've been teaching
Things that I don't want to know
I had so much to say
I thought I knew the answers
But it seems so long ago
And I wish there was another way
That didn't hurt so much
I'm learning that I can say goodbye
I'm learning that I can be strong inside
I'm ready, I'm ready to get it right
I'm learning about, life
I'm ready, I'm ready to get it right
I'm learning about, life

    I love Aselin Debison, she is amazing. When I first started listening to her, I knew she was like me. This song is about growing up, facing challenges, and getting stronger from them.

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,

Magical

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
