I like to watch you
From above
It's not an ordinary love
I like to feel you
So close to me
I Bet I'm nearer than you'll ever see

And I'm sitting up against the wall
Trying to find a way
I'll play it safe in case I fall
From yesterday

You're letting me live
Inside of you
You're letting me live
As someone new

I wanted to be
Forever young
You and me
Now I'm forever free
I wanted to learn
From our memories
You're never cold
Though you're not here to hold

And I'm sitting up against the sky
Trying to find a way
Nothing to do but to wonder why
It's not yesterday

You're letting me live
Inside of you
You're letting me live
As someone new

Believe in me 'cos I believe it

Somewhere there is an angel
Watching over your life
Sometimes there is a silence
Somewhere a face in the light
Know this place is where I am
Know this face is of me
Know I'm watching over you
Do you feel it too?

You're letting me live
Inside of you
You're letting me live
As someone new

You're letting me live (somwhere there is an angel)
Watching over you're life (inside of you)
Sometimes there is a silence
Somewhere a face in the light (you're letting me live)
Know this place is where I am
Know this face is of me (inside of you)
Know I'm watching over you (know I'm watching over you)

You're letting me live (somwhere there is an angel)
Watching over you're life (inside of you)
Sometimes there is a silence
Somewhere a face in the light (you're letting me live)
Know this place is where I am
Know this face is of me (inside of you)
Know I'm watching over you (know I'm watching over you)

    This song was written by Alice for her boyfriend when she knew that she was dying from cystic fibrosis. It is about how she will continue to live inside of him and watch over him. It is so full of sadness yet also gives the hope that she will be able to live on as someone new. Know I'm there and remember me and let me live not remembering the pain and sickness, but as a new person. It is so powerful and full of extreme emotion, I can't help but be deeply moved every time I hear it. Such a sad loss to the world.

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,

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
