How long has it been, shall we get into it again?
Excuse, our disgrace
We've had no time to paint the place
The dog is always barking at the mailman
I won't waste your time with my revelation
Hello my friend, I see you're back again
Hello mystery, don't bother to explain
How 'bout maybe, its all been in my head
Hey well I'm tired of this black and blue, black and blue
My dear, come again? Your voice is fading out and in
Out of the laundry bin, I found my innocence again
The dog is always barking at the mailman
I won't waste your time with my revelation
Hello my friend, I see you're back again
Hello mystery, don't bother to explain
How 'bout maybe, its all been in my head
Hey well I'm tired of this black and blue, black and blue
Hello my friend, I see you're back again
Hello mystery, don't bother to explain
How 'bout maybe, its all been in my head
Hey well, I'm tired of this black and blue, black and blue
Excuse, our disgrace
We've had no time to paint the place
The dog is always barking at the mailman
I won't waste your time with my revelation
Hello my friend, I see you're back again
Hello mystery, don't bother to explain
How 'bout maybe, its all been in my head
Hey well I'm tired of this black and blue, black and blue
My dear, come again? Your voice is fading out and in
Out of the laundry bin, I found my innocence again
The dog is always barking at the mailman
I won't waste your time with my revelation
Hello my friend, I see you're back again
Hello mystery, don't bother to explain
How 'bout maybe, its all been in my head
Hey well I'm tired of this black and blue, black and blue
Hello my friend, I see you're back again
Hello mystery, don't bother to explain
How 'bout maybe, its all been in my head
Hey well, I'm tired of this black and blue, black and blue

Little Feat
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,
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Honestly, I don't believe it's about a person at all. I've listened very closely to the lyrics and he doesn't say, "Well, I'm tired of this black and blue" the actual lyrics are: "World, I'm tired of this black and blue." The black and blue might be about being bipolar. I know the feeling.
don't worry broseph. you'll be alright i reckon.
