In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
This whole situation reeks of conspiracy
We can't erase The lives all the lives
That were lost all the memories
You can't erase Your ties all your links
All your ties with the enemy
Some see through all the propaganda
Others unite they stand by your side
And when this plan was pulled off with
Precision, how could you think
No suspicions would rise
So many pieces so perfectly aligned
Coincidence? The facts will blow your Mind
Control machine is all you see
'Til you believe to fund the war machine
As history repeats itself again
This quest for truth will never end
Let us ask the real questions
For the victims who died
Let us ask the real questions
All our chances denied
What made them fall? The answers, hidden from all
And why weren't they warned?
All those who perished answered their call
Let us ask real questions
For the victims who died
We can't erase The lives all the lives
That were lost all the memories
You can't erase Your ties all your links
All your ties with the enemy
Some see through all the propaganda
Others unite they stand by your side
And when this plan was pulled off with
Precision, how could you think
No suspicions would rise
So many pieces so perfectly aligned
Coincidence? The facts will blow your Mind
Control machine is all you see
'Til you believe to fund the war machine
As history repeats itself again
This quest for truth will never end
Let us ask the real questions
For the victims who died
Let us ask the real questions
All our chances denied
What made them fall? The answers, hidden from all
And why weren't they warned?
All those who perished answered their call
Let us ask real questions
For the victims who died

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”

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,

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.
