IT'S A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT
FROM HERE TO THOSE STARS
feathers on the sides
of my fingers
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT
FROM HERE TO THOSE
TREMBLING STARS
and the feathers so
fresh
and the nerves so
fresh
Do you swear
the breastbone
was bare
i saw it
and made my
escape
Do you have
any doubt
that he slept
in that bed
i can only repeat
i never saw
him
Better listen
before you fly
all over your
man
Better listen
before i spill
you in
if you could
turn on your
side
move your touch
to that hip
Easy now
easy now
it's a beautiful
night
Garcia
A cigarette
for the
prisoner
THAT RIBBON CRACK
LIKE THIS ONE AND
THIS ONE CRACK LIKE
THOSE OVER THERE AND
THOSE OVER THERE CRACK
LIKE THESE TWO
BRINGING THOSE STRUTTERS
BRINGING THOSE STRUTTERS
AND THAT ONE CRACKS
LIKE THESE DO AND
THESE DO JUST LIKE
THIS OVER HERE AND
THIS OVER HERE
And out on the rim
All the calcium planets
growing in
the darkness
All over the
body
The flapping body
clickety click
clickety
click
I have a greenlight
for fifty thousand
It was the month of
july
We had more in or
going out
You were responsible
for rolling stock
I acn only repeat
i never saw him
in bed
Do you know what
happened to most
of the children
She opened the
tent
to tame a morset
of air
before the sun
came up
FROM HERE TO THOSE STARS
feathers on the sides
of my fingers
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT
FROM HERE TO THOSE
TREMBLING STARS
and the feathers so
fresh
and the nerves so
fresh
Do you swear
the breastbone
was bare
i saw it
and made my
escape
Do you have
any doubt
that he slept
in that bed
i can only repeat
i never saw
him
Better listen
before you fly
all over your
man
Better listen
before i spill
you in
if you could
turn on your
side
move your touch
to that hip
Easy now
easy now
it's a beautiful
night

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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
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.
The Holocaust horror.
I wish there were lyrics posted for the stuff he's saying during the intro. Cause he's saying something, he's not just oohing and aahing.
One of my favorite Scott tracks. As haunting as it gets. "Feathers on the sides of my fingers." Ive had nightmares about this one.
@BonzaiBill The intro is indeed about a man having a nightmare. In an interview, Scott explained: "It's about an internal struggle, attack-and-defence struggle within a man. It starts with a nightmare, a man having a nightmare. And there are a lot of erotic images as well…"<br /> <br /> On the booklet / cover inlay, where all the lyrics are printed, there is only a blank square for the intro section. But the words are something like:<br /> <br /> No, no!<br /> Not my heart! <br /> Not the wrist! <br /> Not my heart!<br /> <br /> Gone somewhere in there<br /> I see the hairline [of] everyone <br /> Waking down<br /> <br /> Aroo! There's brushing along […?] <br /> My legs […?]<br /> All sperms, <br /> God's son<br /> <br /> Clickety, click<br /> Clickety, click
