This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
And the sun goes over the woods
And the sun goes over the woods
There was a sister and her brother
And they did so love oneaAnother
O Sister I'd lay ye down
O sister we'll gang to the broom
O Brother would you do so
For to my death I'd rather
The folk they talk hey talk together
About a lass with bairn to her brother
O Brother you've done me ill
And we'll both burn on yon hill
O Sister go - go to my Father's stables
And take twa horses stout and able
She's on the with horse and he's on the black
With a yew tree bow slung to his back
They'd nae gone a mile but one
When her pains they did come on
I would give all my Father's Land
For a good midwife at my command
O brother take me to yon hill so high
Fetch your bow and your arrow and your good eye
And when you hear my loud loud cry
You bend the bow and you let that arrow fly
And when he heard her loud loud cry
He bent the bow and he let that arrow fly
And when he came to her side
The babe was born and the lady died
He took up his newborn son
Took him to the arms of a milk woman
Then he cut himself for good and sure
He'll not not gand to the broom any more
O Mother I have lost my knife
I loved it better than my life
But I have loved a better thing
The bonnie sheath that my knife went in
But I have loved a better thing
The bonnie sheath that my knife went in
And the sound goes over the woods
And the sound goes over the woods
And the sun goes over the woods
There was a sister and her brother
And they did so love oneaAnother
O Sister I'd lay ye down
O sister we'll gang to the broom
O Brother would you do so
For to my death I'd rather
The folk they talk hey talk together
About a lass with bairn to her brother
O Brother you've done me ill
And we'll both burn on yon hill
O Sister go - go to my Father's stables
And take twa horses stout and able
She's on the with horse and he's on the black
With a yew tree bow slung to his back
They'd nae gone a mile but one
When her pains they did come on
I would give all my Father's Land
For a good midwife at my command
O brother take me to yon hill so high
Fetch your bow and your arrow and your good eye
And when you hear my loud loud cry
You bend the bow and you let that arrow fly
And when he heard her loud loud cry
He bent the bow and he let that arrow fly
And when he came to her side
The babe was born and the lady died
He took up his newborn son
Took him to the arms of a milk woman
Then he cut himself for good and sure
He'll not not gand to the broom any more
O Mother I have lost my knife
I loved it better than my life
But I have loved a better thing
The bonnie sheath that my knife went in
But I have loved a better thing
The bonnie sheath that my knife went in
And the sound goes over the woods
And the sound goes over the woods

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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,

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
