This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Jesse, I'm not joking around.
I see the crowd you're hanging with.
Those kids don't seem positive.
Don't all the cigs make you tired?
You know I'll never ask you to change.
I'll only ask you to try.
I know you're gonna do what I know you're gonna do.
But twenty-two and banging around in restaurants
Isn't that much prettier than banging around in bars.
Why do you keep going to his car?
I don't want this to stop.
I want you to know.
I don't want you to settle.
I want you to grow.
Forget all the boys that you met at the harbor.
They're too hard already.
They'll only get harder.
Jesse, let's go for a ride.
I know a place that we could stop.
I know a place that we could drink and kiss for a while.
I know a place that always makes you smile.
I know you're gonna say what I know you're gonna say.
I know you'll look around at the ground.
I know you'll probably cry.
You're a beautiful girl and you're a pretty good waitress.
But Jesse I don't think I'm the guy.
I don't want this to stop.
I want you to know.
I don't want you to settle.
I want you to grow.
Forget everything that I showed you this summer.
You're too hard already.
You'll only get harder.
But they didn't name her for a saint.
They named her for a storm.
So how is she supposed to think about
How it's gonna feel in the morning?
She said if heaven's hypothetical
And if the cigs keep you warm.
Then how is she supposed to think about
How it's gonna move in the morning?
About how it's gonna move in the morning?
About how it's gonna move in the morning?
Hurricane Jesse's gonna crash into the harbor this summer.
She don't want to wait til she gets older.
Hurricane Jesse's gonna crash into the harbor this summer.
She don't want to wait.
She said it only gets harder
I see the crowd you're hanging with.
Those kids don't seem positive.
Don't all the cigs make you tired?
You know I'll never ask you to change.
I'll only ask you to try.
I know you're gonna do what I know you're gonna do.
But twenty-two and banging around in restaurants
Isn't that much prettier than banging around in bars.
Why do you keep going to his car?
I don't want this to stop.
I want you to know.
I don't want you to settle.
I want you to grow.
Forget all the boys that you met at the harbor.
They're too hard already.
They'll only get harder.
Jesse, let's go for a ride.
I know a place that we could stop.
I know a place that we could drink and kiss for a while.
I know a place that always makes you smile.
I know you're gonna say what I know you're gonna say.
I know you'll look around at the ground.
I know you'll probably cry.
You're a beautiful girl and you're a pretty good waitress.
But Jesse I don't think I'm the guy.
I don't want this to stop.
I want you to know.
I don't want you to settle.
I want you to grow.
Forget everything that I showed you this summer.
You're too hard already.
You'll only get harder.
But they didn't name her for a saint.
They named her for a storm.
So how is she supposed to think about
How it's gonna feel in the morning?
She said if heaven's hypothetical
And if the cigs keep you warm.
Then how is she supposed to think about
How it's gonna move in the morning?
About how it's gonna move in the morning?
About how it's gonna move in the morning?
Hurricane Jesse's gonna crash into the harbor this summer.
She don't want to wait til she gets older.
Hurricane Jesse's gonna crash into the harbor this summer.
She don't want to wait.
She said it only gets harder

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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,
When We Were Young
Blink-182
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.
Should be:
Jessie I'm not joking around I see the crowd you're hanging with and those kids don't seem positive Don't all the cigs make you tired? You know I'll never ask you to change I'll only ask you to try
I know you're gonna do what I know you're gonna do But 22 and banging around in restaurants isn't that much prettier than banging around in bars And why do you keep going to his car
I don't want this to stop I want you to know I don't want you to settle I want you to grow Forget all the boys that you met at the harbor You're too hard already. You'll only getting harder
Jessie let's go for a ride I know a place that we can stop I know a place that we can drink and kiss for a while I know a place that always makes you smile
I know you're gonna say what I know you're gonna say I know you'll at the ground I know you'll probably cry You're a beautiful girl And you're a pretty good waitress Jessie I don't think I'm the guy.
I don't want this to stop I want you to know I don't want you to settle I want you to grow Forget everything that I showed you this summer You're too hard already. You'll only get harder
They didn't name her for a saint They named her for a storm So how's she supposed to think about how it's gonna feel in the morning
She said, if heaven's hypothetical, and if the cigs keep you warm, then how's she supposed to think about how it's gonna move in the morning. Man how it's gonna move in the morning. Man how it's gonna move in the morning.
Hurricane Jess, she's gonna crash into the harbor this summer She don't want to wait 'til she gets older Hurricane Jess, she's gonna crash into the harbor this summer She don't want to wait She said, "it only gets harder"
Damn! You beat me to it! I absolutely love this song.
Also; In "And those kids don't see positive" it should be "seem positive" In "You know I never ask you to change, I only ask you to try" the "I"s are "I'll"s The first "How it's gonna move in the morning" should be "feel in the morning"
I think "she said it's balanced hypothetical" should be "she said if heaven's hypothetical"<br /> <br /> Great song.
Most definitely. I don't know how I didn't see that.
If I could keep nitpicking,<br /> <br /> "but 22 and bangin' around in restaurants ain't that much prettier" the "ain't" should be "isn't"
I should have waited to post. <br /> <br /> I don't want you to settle, I want you to "grow"<br /> <br /> "I know a place that we could stop"<br /> "I know a place that we could drink and kiss for a while"<br /> "I know a place that always makes you smile"<br />
Craig Finn said on the BBC Radio 1 Punk Show with Mike Davies that this song was about the relationship between a young waitress and an older restaurant manager, and who really has the upper hand in the relationship.
