Always Wanted

Automatic Loveletter

I'm now missing you
I'm the loneliest out here
but oh when (...?)

And I'm missing home
I starve for attention
Paralized with fear
And it shows

And it's just like you said
There would be when i left (?)
I never thought when i left you knew best
So i brown paper back this Solution to just quit
An illusion is best fitting (?)
Terrefied that i already dead (?)
Until you said

Don't worry, I'll fix this
Just like you always say
So sorry, forgive me
You're always wanted

This can't be happening to me
Addressing my world of
Depression, of war secretly
Purposely I fight off mistakes I've done
To throw my (...?)
Still you smile

Don't worry, I'll fix this
You say once again
So sorry, forgive me
You're always wanted

And suddenly I see what you've done
So sorry it had to take me this long to say:
You brightened my life
And you deserve to rest easy in you bed tonight
Yeah, you deserve just to know that you're my shining light

So don't worry
I'm okay
I'll be just fine
And I'm sorry
Please forgive me
You're always wanted
So suddenly

    I think that Juliet is talking about one of her siblings. How she used to be jealous of them or something and wanted more attention than she got and she blamed them for taking all of the attention. That's just my interpretation of the song. This is probably one of my top three favorite songs that she's has written and that I've heard.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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,

American Town
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.
