I met you in Milwaukee
In between the heat and rain
I hoped that you would talk to me
I hoped that you would feel the same
I made my way to you
To my surprise
My heart stopped and all I felt
Were butterflies

It's alright, now you're gone
It's alright, you were wrong
It's alright, I'm growing up
And my life goes on

We drove to Cincinnati
And Wednesday on to Tennessee
We sang intol the morning
And Nashville is where you kissed me
But I was subconsciously too naive
You'd make your way to her
When I would leave

It's alright, now you're gone
It's alright, you were wrong
It's alright, I'm growing up
And my life goes on

You broke my heart into a million little pieces
I have no feelings left for you to kill

It's alright, now you're gone
It's alright, you were wrong
It's alright, I'm growing up
And my life goes on

It's alright, I don't care
It's alright, I'm not scared
It's alright, I'm doing fine
And my life goes on
Oh yeah, oh yeah

    This song rules. I think the meaning is obvious, the guy she loved cheated on her and even though they shared good times, she's over him now and her life is moving on to better things.

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,

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
