This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I'm on top of the world
I can see it all around me
Such beautiful words
Leaving in oceans
I can feel it
Never felt this before
Yeah, yeah
I got a beautiful woman
We're coming off of
The hard end of harder times
Gonna be startin' something
That gets us straight up outta here
I can fix it
Let me take us away
Yeah, we leave at night
We stay by day
Say you're with me
There's gold ahead
There's golden dreams
And life's hills and valleys
Yeah, will you hold on with me?
Let me take us
Let me take us away
All right
We drove out to California
Straight through the desert of Arizona
Sweet Texas, I'll kiss ya
Hope to be back
But now I gotta leave ya
I can fix it
Let me take us away
Yeah, we leave at night
We stay by day
Say you're with me
There's gold ahead
There's golden dreams
And life's hills and valleys
Yeah, will you hold on with me?
Let me take us
Let me take us away
I wouldn't know just how sweet this tastes now
No, if at first I did not go
The bitter times, the bitter places
I'll stay and learn the new battles
But, for now, we're here
Say you're with me
There's gold ahead
There's golden dreams
And life's hills and valleys
Yeah, will you hold on with me?
Let me take us
Let me take us away
Let me take us
Let me take us away
Let me take us
Let me take us away
I can see it all around me
Such beautiful words
Leaving in oceans
I can feel it
Never felt this before
Yeah, yeah
I got a beautiful woman
We're coming off of
The hard end of harder times
Gonna be startin' something
That gets us straight up outta here
I can fix it
Let me take us away
Yeah, we leave at night
We stay by day
Say you're with me
There's gold ahead
There's golden dreams
And life's hills and valleys
Yeah, will you hold on with me?
Let me take us
Let me take us away
All right
We drove out to California
Straight through the desert of Arizona
Sweet Texas, I'll kiss ya
Hope to be back
But now I gotta leave ya
I can fix it
Let me take us away
Yeah, we leave at night
We stay by day
Say you're with me
There's gold ahead
There's golden dreams
And life's hills and valleys
Yeah, will you hold on with me?
Let me take us
Let me take us away
I wouldn't know just how sweet this tastes now
No, if at first I did not go
The bitter times, the bitter places
I'll stay and learn the new battles
But, for now, we're here
Say you're with me
There's gold ahead
There's golden dreams
And life's hills and valleys
Yeah, will you hold on with me?
Let me take us
Let me take us away
Let me take us
Let me take us away
Let me take us
Let me take us away

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,

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.
"Say you're with me, there's gold ahead, there's gold in dreams" Those are the best lines
I think it's about having hard times, the ups and downs of life, aka the hills and valleys. But he's asking to hold on with him. That he'll take you away with him.
Such a great song, Bryce is amazing!
