This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Clouds hasten in the frozen sky,
As this hour becomes as pale as the last.
Watching the sun shrink to oblivion,
I try to remember the last time that I felt alive.
The vast fields of life have become empty,
with passion and empty of our eyes.
Where does this road lead again?
Perhaps I was hoping to find something that didn't exist.
The torturous rain descends one last time.
Be silent. Be still.
Here is where the light becomes thin,
And the obscurity revealed.
Underneath the scars holds nothing more than,
What brought me here; to rest with this silence.
And here i lay. Cast me into this blaze.
Leave me to burn. All this time, thinking i knew why,
But that has been forsaken.
Fearing that i am lost and falling into a trap again,
How was I made to believe? An existent beauty vieled.
Manking has been formed into a struggle for power -
The capability to devastate
And to manipulate our eyes into untruth.
The chaos shall be instilled into the footsteps of man,
As we plunge into the depths of immortality.
Fighting to extinguish. Killing to live on.
As this hour becomes as pale as the last.
Watching the sun shrink to oblivion,
I try to remember the last time that I felt alive.
The vast fields of life have become empty,
with passion and empty of our eyes.
Where does this road lead again?
Perhaps I was hoping to find something that didn't exist.
The torturous rain descends one last time.
Be silent. Be still.
Here is where the light becomes thin,
And the obscurity revealed.
Underneath the scars holds nothing more than,
What brought me here; to rest with this silence.
And here i lay. Cast me into this blaze.
Leave me to burn. All this time, thinking i knew why,
But that has been forsaken.
Fearing that i am lost and falling into a trap again,
How was I made to believe? An existent beauty vieled.
Manking has been formed into a struggle for power -
The capability to devastate
And to manipulate our eyes into untruth.
The chaos shall be instilled into the footsteps of man,
As we plunge into the depths of immortality.
Fighting to extinguish. Killing to live on.

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

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
