This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
First the Earth was flat
but it fattened up when we didn't fall off
now we spin laps round the sun
All the gods lost 2-1
and holes to heaven pointed out to us
from light-years away we're surrounded by a billion galaxies
things are not always
things are not always
how they seem
will you be ready
will you be ready?
the interim of life has got you
tiptoed and pinning your hopes
on the top dog of dreams
you're not alone in this
the polyfilla way
look strong in the weakness of the gaps
things are not always
things are not always
how they seem
they don't turn out always
don't quite turn out always
how we think
will we be ready?
I'm dying to know
what's in your head
I'm dying to know
how it got in there
I'm dying to know
trying to make sense of it all
I'm dying to know
tell me is it my fault?
I care about you darling
and I care about you
cuz I care about you
more than anyone else
things are not always
things are not always
how they seem
they don't turn out always
don't quite turn out always
how you think
will we be ready?
but it fattened up when we didn't fall off
now we spin laps round the sun
All the gods lost 2-1
and holes to heaven pointed out to us
from light-years away we're surrounded by a billion galaxies
things are not always
things are not always
how they seem
will you be ready
will you be ready?
the interim of life has got you
tiptoed and pinning your hopes
on the top dog of dreams
you're not alone in this
the polyfilla way
look strong in the weakness of the gaps
things are not always
things are not always
how they seem
they don't turn out always
don't quite turn out always
how we think
will we be ready?
I'm dying to know
what's in your head
I'm dying to know
how it got in there
I'm dying to know
trying to make sense of it all
I'm dying to know
tell me is it my fault?
I care about you darling
and I care about you
cuz I care about you
more than anyone else
things are not always
things are not always
how they seem
they don't turn out always
don't quite turn out always
how you think
will we be ready?

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.
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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This has to be the most insightful interpretation. I agree with you one hundred percent.
