Summer's gone, and I am waiting for
New beginnings with better endings
Long nights for the sleep deprived
Friends fading while falling in love

I'll write these letters to you
From a desk in my room that's bleeding truth
And I wont sleep so I'll have
No regrets to waste on you

We'll fight the good fight, the good fight
Waiting up
For the phone to ring off the hook
I've waited so long to hear
Goodnight until sunrise

We'll fight the good fight, the good fight
Waiting up
For the phone to ring off the hook
I've waited so long to hear
Goodnight until sunrise

Lets drink to our fallen friends
To our failures and our futures
Wasted on the ride home
Fight the feeling we're not alone

I got this feeling I can't shake
Tonight
So I'll call you for the hundredth time
Just asking for a reply

We'll fight the good fight, the good fight
Waiting up
For the phone to ring off the hook
I've waited so long to hear
Goodnight until sunrise

We'll fight the good fight, the good fight
Waiting up
For the phone to ring off the hook
I've waited so long to hear
Goodnight until sunrise

We'll fight the good fight, the good fight
Waiting up
For the phone to ring off the hook
I've waited so long to hear
Goodnight until sunrise

We'll fight the good fight, the good fight
Waiting up
For the phone to ring off the hook
I've waited so long to hear
Goodnight until sunrise
Until sunrise

    I would say not so much summer as is autumn. "Summer's gone". I made a cd recently with an autumn theme and this song was on it. Then "fallen friends" part makes me sad.

    I wish more people would comment on this song, there's so much more to it we haven't discussed!

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.

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,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
