It's when my world comes down
You want to change the little ways
Tomorrow's another start but it looks like everyday
You can't imagine how
I wish that you could be the one
Inside you're not the same but you look like everyone

It's like a tidal wave that runs to take a start
A hurricane that wrapped around that heart
If I could find a way I'd make a brand new start
I can believe it was the calm that killed the storm

Inside you broke my heart
And took a little piece of me
Maybe one day we'll try again
But it won't ever be the same
If I don't hold on now everything fades and slips away
Tomorrow's another start but it looks like everyday

It's like a tidal wave that runs to take a start
A hurricane that wrapped around that heart
If I could find a way I'd make a brand new start
I can believe it was the calm that killed the storm

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,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
