This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You can write my place out
Of the life you make
And all the things that mattered
When you knew my face
Cross off all the ways I failed you
'Cause I failed you
But I'm still in your blood
You're still in my blood
A time when all your mistakes
Made sense, you needed it
A time when all the lying
Sympathized with sin
All this sabotage and blame, well, I can take it
'Cause I just want you back
I just want you back
Temporary battles
Can take up half your life
How you dig your bed
Will it help you sleep at night?
Forgiveness like a blanket
That you want to forget
But you still crumble at my name
You still crumble at my name
A time when all your mistakes
Made sense, you needed it
A time when all the lying
Sympathized with sin
All this sabotage and blame, well, I can take it
'Cause I just want you back
I just want you back
Of the life you make
And all the things that mattered
When you knew my face
Cross off all the ways I failed you
'Cause I failed you
But I'm still in your blood
You're still in my blood
A time when all your mistakes
Made sense, you needed it
A time when all the lying
Sympathized with sin
All this sabotage and blame, well, I can take it
'Cause I just want you back
I just want you back
Temporary battles
Can take up half your life
How you dig your bed
Will it help you sleep at night?
Forgiveness like a blanket
That you want to forget
But you still crumble at my name
You still crumble at my name
A time when all your mistakes
Made sense, you needed it
A time when all the lying
Sympathized with sin
All this sabotage and blame, well, I can take it
'Cause I just want you back
I just want you back

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
No Surprises

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.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Thanks; I've submitted it for a correction.
