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.
(Cleveland status) yeah
Yeah, yeah (Plain Pat, what up?)
Whoa, Nellie, I don't even think they ready
They flow is too shitty, not me I can't get with it
Gon' with it, Kid Cudi the illy, rep my city
In the navy blue Cutlass, no roof above him
Hoes, they love 'em, model girls I cut and fuck 'em
Hey, I rep that double-O, you ain't on the ho
I got my man Chip the Rip with a Spanish bitch takin' flicks
And she gon' take a lick, yeah, mami
Later on we gettin' sushi, mami eatin' edamame
West Coast so I'm ghost, holla at my nigga Travie
We really become the heroes of the gym class, topping
The charts with the art that exhibits couldn't exhibit
The grizzle, I live it, run passed the timid livin'
In the bubble, keep the number when I mumble all the riffs
With skill, red-rum them trynna figure out him
Baptize myself in the river of Hennessy
Open up your heart and
You will understand me
Fall into the music
And let yourself go
Open up your heart and
You will understand me (that's right)
Fall into the music (get it right)
And let yourself
Go, go, Mach 5 flow
Do you want more? You shall receive, what I see
Deep in the realm if you felt like you were alone, no fear
Salute the underdog, I am here in the clear
Over there, niggas ain't diff', what if
I was them, I would be a simp, no dopeness
Will ever, ever be my aura
Steve Urkel nigga lookin' for a Laura
Proceed, I am the one, to cliché, you call me Neo
If anything dope has arrived rap wise as far as overall killin'
Body, embody him
Not other morals to accommodate the carcasses
My heart is titanium alloy
So if you come up with ploys to destroy my passion
I'ma tell you now you are better off passin'
Stop writin' checks that your ass can't cash in, bro
Open up your heart and
You will understand me
Fall into the music
And let yourself go
Open up your heart and
You will understand me
Fall into the music
And let yourself
Open up your heart and
You will understand me
Fall into the music (yeah)
And let yourself go (yeah, yo, yo)

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
Cool song, I think this might be a freestyle, not sure tho. The beat is from N.E.R.D.'s song 'Spaz' off the album Seeing Sounds.
"Later on we gettin' sushi, mami eatin' edamame"
