In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
I love her more than he could ever even hope for
Love her twice as much as all of there is and more
I could say my love is bigger than the Big Apple
Like oxyphenbutazone in Scrabble
Just like the stars are my chandelier
Just like these landscapes are my living room
Just like the highways are veins
I am the blood, I am the rain
Saw the stars align in twenty-seven straight rows
Saw the trees becoming lovers in the shadows
Heard the crickets overpower every radio
Heard the sound of the silence
Kill my ego, kill your ego, kill all ego
And all these stars were our chandelier
And all these landscapes were our living rooms
And all the highways are veins
We are the blood, we are the rain
And you, you're heaven to hold
We'll never get old
You're heaven to hold
Honey, you're heaven to hold
Love her twice as much as all of there is and more
I could say my love is bigger than the Big Apple
Like oxyphenbutazone in Scrabble
Just like the stars are my chandelier
Just like these landscapes are my living room
Just like the highways are veins
I am the blood, I am the rain
Saw the stars align in twenty-seven straight rows
Saw the trees becoming lovers in the shadows
Heard the crickets overpower every radio
Heard the sound of the silence
Kill my ego, kill your ego, kill all ego
And all these stars were our chandelier
And all these landscapes were our living rooms
And all the highways are veins
We are the blood, we are the rain
And you, you're heaven to hold
We'll never get old
You're heaven to hold
Honey, you're heaven to hold

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,
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.

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.
