This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Josie she crazed at the toy store
She cried for her little balloon
Be home before your memories
Before they make you blue
Josie she fished in the ocean
She caught her political charm
Before going back to the valley
She crawled over the stars
Josie took of her pullover
She said now you're under my spell
The Monday sky came over
We drove her car around
Oh Josie, you must stay, my true love!
But Josie don't stand in my way
Anymore
Cause I'm tracing the man that I am
And I'm chasing the woman you are
Through our daily misconceptions
Josie spoke about the Pacific Ocean
I said: "I'm not going that far
I guess I'm scared of leaving
So you must never part"
Oh Josie the fear in the lover you caught
It stands for the whole of the live that you robbed
And you're facing the man that I am
And I'm facing the woman you are
Through our daily misconceptions
She said: "call me up when you're crying,
But don't leave me standing alone"
And Josie she hauls like a wolf man
When we strut on our middleclass thrones
We're crazy for a little bit of scorn
We stab us in the backs and of we go
She said: "hey man
You'll have to protect me"
I said: "Shut up girl,
You shouldn't talk back"
We know there are lies all around us
But still we neglect them
They will all soon unfold
When we're facing the man that I am
And we're facing the woman you are
Through
Our daily misconceptions
She cried for her little balloon
Be home before your memories
Before they make you blue
Josie she fished in the ocean
She caught her political charm
Before going back to the valley
She crawled over the stars
Josie took of her pullover
She said now you're under my spell
The Monday sky came over
We drove her car around
Oh Josie, you must stay, my true love!
But Josie don't stand in my way
Anymore
Cause I'm tracing the man that I am
And I'm chasing the woman you are
Through our daily misconceptions
Josie spoke about the Pacific Ocean
I said: "I'm not going that far
I guess I'm scared of leaving
So you must never part"
Oh Josie the fear in the lover you caught
It stands for the whole of the live that you robbed
And you're facing the man that I am
And I'm facing the woman you are
Through our daily misconceptions
She said: "call me up when you're crying,
But don't leave me standing alone"
And Josie she hauls like a wolf man
When we strut on our middleclass thrones
We're crazy for a little bit of scorn
We stab us in the backs and of we go
She said: "hey man
You'll have to protect me"
I said: "Shut up girl,

We know there are lies all around us
But still we neglect them
They will all soon unfold
When we're facing the man that I am
And we're facing the woman you are
Through
Our daily misconceptions

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”
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,

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
