You are such a workaholic boy
That you kill everybody's joy
Fill your head with some time to lose
With some time to lose

Sing sang sung sing me a song
Do did done don't be so down
Ring rang rung give me a ring
Please please please don't be so long

What are we doing here my friend ?
Take a breath push your pain away
Nothing lasts it's better that way
It's better that way

Sing sang sung sing me a song
Do did done don't be so down
Ring rang rung give me a ring
Please please please don't be so long

Sing sang sung sing me a song
Do did done don't be so down
Ring rang rung give me a ring
Please please please don't be so long

    For me, this is about working to live, not living to work.

    Work life balance.

    Pretty little song.

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.

Punchline
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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
