Crawl out my eyes and I
feeling the sound and I
get my feet, get my wrists
off the ground and I
needed to say nothing
no more to give to you
no more to tell you
you curl up the blood in me.

I want them all an I
I want them all an I
I want them all an I
to send the sea back out.
Get off the sidelines
just put your feet forward
get in my eye line and
sprawl out your chains .

You got a love like semtex
bring it to me
bring it to me
bring it to me.
You got a love like semtex
bring it to me
bring it to me
where I can see.

Get in between all the
good and the wrong ways
you make the floor move
in all of my hallways.
We got it sweet now
ain't nothing calling
I'm at your feet now but girl
I'm still falling at you.

I want them all an I
I want them all an I
I want them all an I
to send the sea back out.
Bring on your heat now
and make my skin burn
you make my fingers
turn 3000 degrees

(Repeat chorus)

Get off the hand rail
step onto my train
I think this calling has
been falling for an age now.
Don't ever see why we
have to live lies.
We ain't so sick, we're just
part of the list.

(Repeat chorus)

Now!

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

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.
