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,
Ангелы и демоны кружили надо мной
(Angels and demons circled above me)
Разсекали тернии и млечные пути
(Splitting through the veils and the Milky Way)
Не знает счастья только тот,
(One does not know joy)
Кто его зова понять не смог...
(Who fails to understand their call...)
No one to notice, No one to notice
Aeria gloris, Aeria gloris
(Glorious aria, Glorious aria)
No one to notice, No one to notice
Aeria gloris, aeria gloris
(Glorious aria, Glorious aria)
I am calling calling now. Spirits rise and falling
Собой остаться дольше...
(To stay myself longer...)
Calling Calling, in the depth of longing
Собой остаться дольше...
(To stay myself longer...)
No one to notice, No one to notice
Aeria gloris, Aeria gloris
(Glorious aria, Glorious aria)
Stand alone... Where was life when it had a meaning...
Stand alone... Nothing's real anymore and...
...Бесконечный бег...
(...Endless run...)
Пока жива я могу стараться на лету не упасть,
(While I'm alive I can try not to fall in midflight...)
Не разучиться мечтать...любить...
(not to forget how to dream... to love...)
...Бесконечный бег...
(...Endless run...)
Calling Calling, For the place of knowing
There's more that what can be linked
Calling Calling, Never will I look away
For what life has left for me
Yearning Yearning, for what's left of loving
Собой остаться дольше...
(To stay myself longer...)
Calling Calling now, Spirits rise and falling...
Собой остаться дольше...
(To stay myself longer...)
Calling Calling, in the depth of longing...
Собой остаться дольше...
(To stay myself longer...)
No one to notice, No one to notice
Aeria gloris, Aeria gloris
(Glorious aria, Glorious aria)
No one to notice, No one to notice
Aeria gloris, aeria gloris
(Glorious aria, Glorious aria)
(Angels and demons circled above me)
Разсекали тернии и млечные пути
(Splitting through the veils and the Milky Way)
Не знает счастья только тот,
(One does not know joy)
Кто его зова понять не смог...
(Who fails to understand their call...)
No one to notice, No one to notice
Aeria gloris, Aeria gloris
(Glorious aria, Glorious aria)
No one to notice, No one to notice
Aeria gloris, aeria gloris
(Glorious aria, Glorious aria)
I am calling calling now. Spirits rise and falling
Собой остаться дольше...
(To stay myself longer...)
Calling Calling, in the depth of longing
Собой остаться дольше...

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.

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.
This is one of the most amazingly beautiful acoustic (lyrics aside) music pieces i have ever heard..
Takes me to another world everytime i listen to it.
but ican anyone tell me there thoughts on what it means !?
I think this song is about trying to remember and understand what made life worth living for, in a world that seems to have lost all meaning.
There are so many translations of what aeria gloris means. My own interpretation is "glorious aria" and it refers to the angels mentioned in the verse. An aria is a musical performance -- like a symphony with many instruments and voices.
