To me the only thing left after a while
Was that night we watched
Documentaries up through morning
And then you kicked me out

You opened up your screen door
And threw me out off the porch
It was summer then and I drove home whistling
Muddy waters down the pike

And that was that our one sweet night together
Under highway signs
I watched our love start fluttering and dissipating
I counted all the headlights to make sure I was alright

Now I'm wondering
Is it me or is it me that can't see silver linings?
So I fucked it up I watched you go
I saw my hand not dialing the phone

All I'm left to do is remember the dull room
Where we sat in blue stream light
Watching the strike of '59
I dreamed of wrecking my underwear
Oh can't I touch your cheeks somewhere
Under dirt filled rainy nights
With my socks stuck in the mud
Please come dive in puddles with me

Our one sweet night together
Our one sweet night together
Our one sweet night together
Under highway signs
I watched our love start fluttering and dissipating
I counted all the headlights to make sure I was alright

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

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.

Punchline
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.
