Sittin' by the open fire place in my favorite dungarees
Played a few balls of a melody and it sounded sweet to me
I thought I get up and take a look around but my feet got in the way
Stumbled to the floor she was right in the door, I could see her face

But how could it be, she ran away from me
My best friend's gone, I'm so all alone

I kinda miss you Brandy, I'm so all alone
When are you coming back home?
I really miss you Brandy, missing you everyday
Are you coming home to stay?
Cause I love you Brandy, oh yeah yeah yeah

Sippin' on a cherry soda pop, building houses made of sand
Like a little child with a fantasy, just a fraction of a man
But I was in love when they put it down
Oh, my doorstep in the rain
I could feel the love coming to my heart, through my window pane

But how could I know, she was just up and gone
My best friend gone, I'm so all alone

I really miss you Brandy, I'm so all alone
When are you coming back home?
I really miss you Brandy, missing you everyday
Are you coming home to stay?

I kinda miss you Brandy
When are you coming back home? I'm so all alone
I really miss you Brandy, missing you everyday
Are you coming home to stay?

Oh, I really miss you Brandy, I'm so all alone
When are you coming back home?
Oh, I really miss you Brandy, missing you everyday
Are you coming home to stay?

I really miss you Brandy
When are you coming back home? I'm so all alone
I really miss you

    Taken at face value, I'd say this song is about loving a childhood friend and losing her. But, for some reason, I keep reading into this song that it could be about a dog. Either way, I like it!

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,

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.

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.
