The blue light drives where I come from
The blue light flickers here
And I love an American boy
That's clear

Stone cold stairway, stone cold highway
Light behind the door
And I love an American boy
That's for sure, that's for sure

Streets are older
Time is wiser everybody knows
Hands will come together gloveless
When I get home hands will hold

The river runs the bridge's lights
The road rides like a drum
And I love an American boy
Just because

Oh, shallow pockets
Darkened eyes and heavy hearts and coats
Hands will come together, gloveless
When I get home, hands will hold

The blue light drives where I come from
My heart burns like the sun
And I love an American boy
I love an American boy, I love an American boy
Just one

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.
