Love doesn't come alone, now does it?
Present perfect tense
So you made yourself a little world
Where even strangers make more sense
I play the pain upright, straight ahead
And with the beat

You can ease yourself into the light
Or keep that record on repeat

What if I loved you
What if I loved you
What if I loved you
Everblue, Everblue

Following the sleepless hours
Unsubtle dreams will make you cave
You can paint them all your brilliant colors
Just don't fall off into the deep

Happiness is not a burden
Oh how the pendulum will swing
I have felt the ground
I've seen the seeds
Out of which grew golden wings

What if I loved you
What if I loved you
What if I loved you
Everblue, Everblue

High above the stars are dancing
To a song one bird is singing
And it's you my Everblue

What if I loved you
What if I loved you
You know I love you
My Everblue, Everblue
Everblue
Everblue

    Sorry if I got the words a little wrong, Ill update when the album comes out! I've read that this song is about Ryan Adams but Im not for sure. To me it sounds like its about someone who is sort of content in their own world being miserable or "Everblue". She is telling them that they should step out of that world and that there is nothing wrong with happiness and love.

    It's a sort of a response song to Ryan Adams' song "Evergreen."

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Gentle Hour
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,

Magical
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.
