This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I had to strain to understand
Your swimming in the water tower
Running blood down from my hand
She said are you sure that you live
The way you want to live
I had to hope to take her hand
I was hanging on the edge for hours
Dreaming of some starry strand
And I was dreaming about your face
Running back my way
We were the picture of love
And love doesn't think of tomorrow
And long live romance from above
And your fire of love
I built a fire into the sky
A little something to remember you by
And panic broke and I lost my faith
And I was mistaken for you
On the palace stool
We were the picture of love
And love doesn't think of tomorrow
And long live romance from above
And your fire of love
We were the picture of love
And love doesn't think of forever
And long live your stars from above
And your fire of love
I had to strain to understand
Your swimming in the water tower
We were the picture of love
And love doesn't think of tomorrow
And long live romance from above
And your fire of love
We were the picture of love
And love doesn't think past forever
And long live you stars from above
And your fire of love
And your fire of love
And she said are you sure that you live
The way you want to live
Your swimming in the water tower
Running blood down from my hand
She said are you sure that you live
The way you want to live
I had to hope to take her hand
I was hanging on the edge for hours
Dreaming of some starry strand
And I was dreaming about your face
Running back my way
We were the picture of love
And love doesn't think of tomorrow
And long live romance from above
And your fire of love
I built a fire into the sky
A little something to remember you by
And panic broke and I lost my faith
And I was mistaken for you
On the palace stool
We were the picture of love
And love doesn't think of tomorrow
And long live romance from above
And your fire of love
We were the picture of love
And love doesn't think of forever
And long live your stars from above
And your fire of love
I had to strain to understand
Your swimming in the water tower
We were the picture of love
And love doesn't think of tomorrow
And long live romance from above
And your fire of love
We were the picture of love
And love doesn't think past forever
And long live you stars from above
And your fire of love
And your fire of love
And she said are you sure that you live
The way you want to live

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
Glen apparently wrote this song after seeing some of his Grandmother's photographs, taking during the Easter Rising in Ireland in 1916, of the handsome soldiers swimming in her local water tower to wash away the gunsmoke, the dust and the blood of the revolution.
