It's as if five fingers have crossed her face
I know because I have been there in that place
With angry eyes
You're hurting no more than I
It kills me to see you cry
I'm so sorry, but the pages must still turn
I played the part you told me and still I got burned
His blood was spilled, but I guess mine still has to be
You're hurting no more than I
It kills me to see you cry
You're hurting no more than I
You're hurting no more than I

Oh how sweet Your grace, It falls on me
It gives me peace when others can't let go
And Oh how sweet Your love
It saves me!
And I would give up anything for You!!!

    I think this song is about a guy who's in a relationship, and the two break up, and they're both torn about it ("You're hurting no more than I"), but he knows they must move on ("The pages must still turn), and eventually he turns to God about it (The entire last part), and how he realizes that God's love is better than a relationship.

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,

Blue
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.

Amazing
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.

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.
