This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Wish you were here
Me oh my country man
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
Don't you know the snow is getting colder?
And i miss you like hell
And i'm feeling blue
I wish you were here
Me oh my country man
I wish you were here
(wish you were here)
I wish you were here
Don't you know the snow is getting colder?
And i miss you like hell
And i'm feeling blue
I've got feelings for you
Do you still feel the same?
From the first time i laid my eyes on you
Felt the joy of living
I saw heaven in your eyes
In your eyes
I wish you were here
Me oh my country man
I wish you were here
(wish you here)
I wish you were here
Don't you know the snow is getting colder?
And i miss you like hell
And i'm feeling blue
I miss your laugh
I miss your smile
I miss everything about you
Every second is like a minute
Every minute's like a day
When you're far away
(the snow is getting colder and i wish you were here
(a battlefield of love and fear, and i wish you were here)
I've got feelings for you
Zfrom the first time i laid my eyes on you
I wish you were here
Me oh my country man
I wish you were here
(wish you were here)
I wish you were here
Don't you know the snow is getting colder?
And i miss you like hell
And i'm feeling blue
(wish you were here)
Me oh my country man
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
Don't you know the snow is getting colder?
And i miss you like hell
And i'm feeling blue
I wish you were here
Me oh my country man
I wish you were here
(wish you were here)
I wish you were here
Don't you know the snow is getting colder?
And i miss you like hell
And i'm feeling blue
I've got feelings for you
Do you still feel the same?
From the first time i laid my eyes on you
Felt the joy of living
I saw heaven in your eyes
In your eyes
I wish you were here
Me oh my country man
I wish you were here
(wish you here)
I wish you were here
Don't you know the snow is getting colder?
And i miss you like hell
And i'm feeling blue
I miss your laugh
I miss your smile
I miss everything about you
Every second is like a minute
Every minute's like a day
When you're far away
(the snow is getting colder and i wish you were here
(a battlefield of love and fear, and i wish you were here)
I've got feelings for you
Zfrom the first time i laid my eyes on you
I wish you were here
Me oh my country man
I wish you were here
(wish you were here)
I wish you were here
Don't you know the snow is getting colder?
And i miss you like hell
And i'm feeling blue
(wish you were here)

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.
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.
The original song is by Rednex. The version that you are mostly likely referring to as being Within Temptation is Blackmore's Night cover. Within Temptation has never covered this song.
This is a Blackmore's Night song.
@Gothic Divine actually a Rednex song, which Blackmore's Night covered
dude, is it Within Temptation or Within TemptationS, with an S. And this aint Blackamoor's song
I'm quite sure, the original is by Rednex, andalso that there exists a cover version by Blackmore's Night. I've never heard of Within temptation covering this song, but in the www you often find som wrong tagged songs.
I;ve also never heard about Within Temptation, written with an S at the back.
