In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
In the rain
I'm walking slowly.
There's a light
In your apartment. I
Don't know why
I ache for you
It's all right if
You're undecided or
If you're scared that
You might like it.
If it's true
I ache for you
There's no rhyme and
There's no reason.
You're the secret in the back of my skull
There's no logic
So please believe me
Love's confusing but it never gets dull
It's getting late,
Anticipation.
If we talk,
Communication,
Then you know
I ache for you
Yes, sometimes
It's just desire,
Another problem that you really don't want, but
Anyway, I ache for you
There's no rhyme
And there's no reason.
You know the secret in the back of my skull.
There's no logic
So please believe me.
Love's confusing but it never gets,
It never gets dull.
I ache for you.
I ache for you.
And I'm tired
Of so much wanting and
What if?
Don't even think it.
Why not?
There's no rhyme and
There's no reason.
Put a secret in the back of my skull (back of my skull)
There's no logic
So please believe me.
Love's confusing but it never gets dull (never gets dull).
There's no rhyme
And there's no reason.
You're the secret in the back of my skull.
There's no logic
So please believe me.
Love's confusing but it never gets dull,
It never gets dull.
It never gets dull.
I ache for you.
I ache for you.
I ache for you.
I ache for you.
I'm walking slowly.
There's a light
In your apartment. I
Don't know why
I ache for you
It's all right if
You're undecided or
If you're scared that
You might like it.
If it's true
I ache for you
There's no rhyme and
There's no reason.
You're the secret in the back of my skull
There's no logic
So please believe me
Love's confusing but it never gets dull
It's getting late,
Anticipation.
If we talk,
Communication,
Then you know
I ache for you
Yes, sometimes
It's just desire,
Another problem that you really don't want, but
Anyway, I ache for you
There's no rhyme
And there's no reason.
You know the secret in the back of my skull.
There's no logic
So please believe me.
Love's confusing but it never gets,
It never gets dull.
I ache for you.
I ache for you.
And I'm tired
Of so much wanting and
What if?
Don't even think it.
Why not?
There's no rhyme and
There's no reason.
Put a secret in the back of my skull (back of my skull)
There's no logic
So please believe me.
Love's confusing but it never gets dull (never gets dull).
There's no rhyme
And there's no reason.
You're the secret in the back of my skull.
There's no logic
So please believe me.
Love's confusing but it never gets dull,
It never gets dull.
It never gets dull.
I ache for you.
I ache for you.
I ache for you.
I ache for you.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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,
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
