This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Love lives in old sonnets
And dying flowers
Hold on for dear life
As we force our finest hour
Call it a shame
Call it a crime
Now I look like a man out of time
We can't see a thing
With these stars in our eyes
Just call it anything but goodbye
Anything but goodbye
We'll make up an excuse
To trip blindly through the night
Looking for a light
I tried to give you gold
But you give me this game
I blow at the embers
But I can't feel your flame
And dying flowers
Hold on for dear life
As we force our finest hour
Call it a shame
Call it a crime
Now I look like a man out of time
We can't see a thing
With these stars in our eyes
Just call it anything but goodbye
Anything but goodbye
We'll make up an excuse
To trip blindly through the night
Looking for a light
I tried to give you gold
But you give me this game
I blow at the embers
But I can't feel your flame

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
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.
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.

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.
This song isn't my favorite, but it is pretty catchy. I think it's sorta funny how this song starts out all happy and stuff, but if you listen to the lyrics, they seem anything but.
