Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Take it in and don’t regret
Here in lies the moment
But please don’t ever come back with that smile I was along for the ride.
Could you let this sink into your head,
For just one more second inside my bed.
The pillow screams what I cannot
Just thank God that we’ve never been caught
Cause I can
Do things you can only dream of
Everything your boyfriend couldn’t do
Take a look at what you’re missing
(Take two down and one to go)
Break it up
I’m tryin’ hard to shake this
But you have got me spinning in circles
It’s all we need to do
(Take two down and one to go)
Break it up
If you wait one day,
It will be okay
I’ve let it all go to my head for the last damn time, It seems they always say,
Feelings never fade like photographs.
Could this be a part of your plan?
Cause I can
Do things you can only dream of
Everything your boyfriend couldn’t do
Take a look at what you’re missing
(Take two down and one to go)
Break it up
I’m tryin’ hard to shake this
But you have got me spinning in circles
It’s all we need to do
(Take two down and one to go)
Break it up
Come on Come on,
Listen close right now.
Put up your hands and make that sound.
Do it for the lovers and losers and lets not forget our favorite users.
Pull yourself together,
There will always be stormy weather
So don’t deny what we had,
It never felt so bad.
Cause I can
Do things you can only dream of
Everything your boyfriend couldn’t do
Take a look at what you’re missing
(Take two down and one to go)
Break it up
I’m tryin’ hard to shake this
But you have got me spinning in circles
It’s all we need to do
(Take two down and one to go)
Break it up
Here in lies the moment
But please don’t ever come back with that smile I was along for the ride.
Could you let this sink into your head,
For just one more second inside my bed.
The pillow screams what I cannot
Just thank God that we’ve never been caught
Cause I can
Do things you can only dream of
Everything your boyfriend couldn’t do
Take a look at what you’re missing
(Take two down and one to go)
Break it up
I’m tryin’ hard to shake this
But you have got me spinning in circles
It’s all we need to do
(Take two down and one to go)
Break it up
If you wait one day,
It will be okay

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I hope these are right...I got them from purevolume. They sound right. Anywho... I think it's about a guy who likes a girl with a boyfriend and wants them to break up. Pretty self explanatory.
