She starts her new diet of liquor and dick
Just like Hollywood, but laced in sick
The sun goes down, and so does she
The sun goes down, and so does she

Sold out the love that she had, left with a cut of the throat
Drinks all 'round on her before she strolls to the moat
The sun goes down, and so does she
The sun goes down, and so does she

Oh
Count

Count your fucking blessings
Come on

Count your blessings, 'cause I'm counting every lie
Count your blessings, 'cause I'm counting every lie
Counting every lie

Christ, I'm asking you for just one thing
I'm asking you for just one thing
Eradicate this disease

Close your eyes, pray for plagues
Oh Lord, cleanse this Earth and bring upon our doomsday
Oh, close your eyes, pray for plagues
Cleanse this Earth and bring doomsday

She starts her new diet of liquor and dick
Just like Hollywood, but laced in sick
The sun goes down, and so does she
The sun goes down, and so does she

So clap your hands to the sound of every first born dying now
Watch the rivers flow with blood, death will stand where life once stood

So clap your hands to the sound of every first born dying now
Watch the rivers turn to blood, death will stand where life once stood
So clap your hands to the sound of every first born dying now
Watch this rivers turn to blood, death will stand where life once stood

Close your eyes, pray for plagues
Cleanse this Earth, bring our doomsday

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”

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,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
