You know, all of you know, to grow
What to be on
And so, follow below
You are what you lean on
Come out of the cold, and drift
In still water

Ooh
And the light shines on
What we all ride on
When the day's come and gone
You know we all ride on

Lines figure the ground
You surf, and it's real
To soar over and down
To bend, and to breathe on

Ooh
And the light shines on
What we all ride on
And when the day's come and gone
You know we all ride on

Through water when, beyond falling
With sounds of bells all ringing out
We'll ride on
Slipped over the blue lining
Springs alive to circle down

Ooh
And the light shines on
What we all ride on
And when the day's come and gone
You know we all ride on

And the light shines on
What we all ride on
And when the day's come and gone
You know we all shine on

    I think this song means no matter what happens, we still have to continue to live life and tomorrow will always come. It's a really good song.

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,

Magical
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.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
