Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
We went out dancing it was time we had fun
We didn't leave â??til three I know we're not the only one's
When we got outside the snow had started to fall
I made a ball I threw it at Gavin because he's tall
So now we have this snow up to our knees
A Walking winterland is always bound to please
I know it's true to say my smile's been weak
I wonder if you know by now I've fallen deep
I can hear you calling to me in the morning
How can I be falling in love with you
You can offer me a penny for my thoughts
They're not worth a damn they're not worth a lot
I've been getting loose with my tongue and free with my hands
How can I expect you to understand who I am?
I can hear you calling to me in the morning
How can I be falling in love with you
She's doing her own thing
Still making my heart sing
She is moving along to the beat of a song
It's true
I'll keep you safe and warm tonight
I'll keep you safe and warm tonight
I'll keep you safe and warm tonight
We didn't leave â??til three I know we're not the only one's
When we got outside the snow had started to fall
I made a ball I threw it at Gavin because he's tall
So now we have this snow up to our knees
A Walking winterland is always bound to please
I know it's true to say my smile's been weak
I wonder if you know by now I've fallen deep
I can hear you calling to me in the morning
How can I be falling in love with you
You can offer me a penny for my thoughts
They're not worth a damn they're not worth a lot
I've been getting loose with my tongue and free with my hands
How can I expect you to understand who I am?
I can hear you calling to me in the morning
How can I be falling in love with you
She's doing her own thing
Still making my heart sing
She is moving along to the beat of a song
It's true
I'll keep you safe and warm tonight
I'll keep you safe and warm tonight
I'll keep you safe and warm tonight

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,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
