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”
I just wanna take you everywhere that I go
Girl I want you on a plane in a seat right next to mine
In the air
Get with you right after my shows
Baby I could give you wings
Come on girl, let's fly away
Internationally
Now I don't usually meet under these circumstances, but
You're like the perfect girl with the perfect skin, so
I'm just scared to know how much you mean how can I go without you girl
You can call me a man
Because I know
This ain't the kind of love that could just take
One night and then it's over
Girl I know
I ain't never fell in love so quickly
Baby please come with me
All you need is my love in a bag
I just wanna take you everywhere that I go
Girl I want you on a plane in a seat right next to mine
In the air
Get with you right after my shows
Baby I could give you wings
Come on girl, let's fly away
Internationally
Girl I can think of only one and no one else and dance to you
We're like the perfect team
No matter where I go you gotta roll
I bet they know about you and I'm not okay without you girl
And I don't need to read your mind
Because I know
That you want to see the world
And I could say that all I need is
One night and then we'll be closer
And I know
I ain't never fell in love so quickly
Baby please come with me
All you need is my love in a bag
I just wanna take you everywhere that I go
Girl I want you on a plane in a seat right next to mine
In the air
Get with you right after my shows
Baby I could give you wings
Come on girl, let's fly away
Internationally
Girl we're in London
Eating Japanese food with the chopsticks, girl
Buy yourself a little something
Hundred grand in your pock
In Dubai shopping, yeah
African safari, we'll go riding by the lions
Come back in the maserati
Internationally
I just wanna take you everywhere that I go

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,
I Can't Go To Sleep

Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Not one of my favorites. It's not terrible or unlistenable. I just often skip it!
