This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
There I knew you once, didn't I?
And the sound of that music traveled
To me from that orphan sky
And pulled it all in my vault
Love hide me away deep in this town and canopy of snow
Go, spin me around under the folding branches
Now, is not too late, heaven can wait another year or so
Thought I loved you once, didn't I?
But I wanted the fin, didn't I?
Thought it broke your heart, didn't I?
But that face in the dark wasn't mine
Love hold me away deep in this town and canopy of snow
Go, spin me around under the folding branches
Now, is not too late, heaven can wait another year or so
Go, spin me around under the folding branches
Now, is not too late, heaven can wait another year or so
Go, spin me around under the folding branches
Now, is not too late, heaven can wait another year or so
For I loved you once, didn't I?
There, I loved you once, didn't I?
And the sound of that music traveled
To me from that orphan sky
And pulled it all in my vault
Love hide me away deep in this town and canopy of snow
Go, spin me around under the folding branches
Now, is not too late, heaven can wait another year or so
Thought I loved you once, didn't I?
But I wanted the fin, didn't I?
Thought it broke your heart, didn't I?
But that face in the dark wasn't mine
Love hold me away deep in this town and canopy of snow
Go, spin me around under the folding branches
Now, is not too late, heaven can wait another year or so
Go, spin me around under the folding branches
Now, is not too late, heaven can wait another year or so
Go, spin me around under the folding branches
Now, is not too late, heaven can wait another year or so
For I loved you once, didn't I?
There, I loved you once, didn't I?

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,
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
This song sounds gorgeous, its about finding a little bit of peace on Earth which is hard to find. You want love more than whatever heaven can offer if only for a moment. I believe he is talking to a woman
What a brilliant, beautiful song. Its nostalgia I think. He's talking about memories of a girl he thought he once loved i suppose.
I think it sounds more like 'fame' than 'fin'. Anyway that would make more sense to me. I see it as a song written about a girl he onced loved but then he decided to sacrifice his relationship with her in order to focus on his career (could have been his move to England which she might not have been able to do). Now in retrospect he has decided that he does love her. The line 'spin me around under the folding branches' seems to be a beautiful metaphor for uncovering his feelings for her from back in his memories.
It goes much deeper than that though I think.

I think "deep in this town and canopy of snow" should be "deep in this turning canopy of snow" makes more sense that way considering he is being spun around beneath a tree. presumably the "snow" is blossoms on the tree.
It sounds to me like it is about escapism. finding someone/something/somewhere where you can hide from the world. The line "heaven can wait another year or so" also sounds like he is trying to convince someone to stay alive a little longer.
