This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
And as I step outside this bitter conflict of life,
I ponder if her cries can stop the stars from flight.
The fall wind blows off the ocean,
as if whisked by the tips of trees,
who were saddened, just like I am
at the sight of their dying leaves.
And I've just returned
from the vast highway of hurt,
realizing what I had,
cause I'll never get it back.
And look at how windswept
my life's become since you left.
You're nowhere but my spinning head.
She used to walk beside the pier,
as the break water disabled
the coming swells,
so I run there
to find lovers all strewn all about.
I can't believe I let you go,
Laying here sad and alone.
Guess you left to go find peace.
Are you happier without me?
And look at how windswept
my life's become since you left.
You're nowhere but my spinning head.
No one seems to understand
how your scent blows off the ocean.
I can't believe I let you go,
laying here so sad and all alone, all alone.
All the things I cannot change now, (alone)
all the things that trouble me,
all the times we find who we are, (alone)
all the things I didn't see.
And the only thing I get now (alone)
is how the blowing wind survived,
because you're so far away (alone)
So why you steal my wave?
So remember, we had good times
and I'll never forget your eyes.
So does all love end the same,
Leaving us all torn and broken?
And look at how windswept
my life's become since you left.
You're nowhere but my spinning head.
No one seems to understand
how your scent blows off the ocean.
I can't believe I let you go,
laying here so sad and all alone.
I ponder if her cries can stop the stars from flight.
The fall wind blows off the ocean,
as if whisked by the tips of trees,
who were saddened, just like I am
at the sight of their dying leaves.
And I've just returned
from the vast highway of hurt,
realizing what I had,
cause I'll never get it back.
And look at how windswept
my life's become since you left.
You're nowhere but my spinning head.
She used to walk beside the pier,
as the break water disabled
the coming swells,
so I run there
to find lovers all strewn all about.
I can't believe I let you go,
Laying here sad and alone.
Guess you left to go find peace.
Are you happier without me?
And look at how windswept
my life's become since you left.
You're nowhere but my spinning head.
No one seems to understand
how your scent blows off the ocean.
I can't believe I let you go,
laying here so sad and all alone, all alone.
All the things I cannot change now, (alone)
all the things that trouble me,
all the times we find who we are, (alone)
all the things I didn't see.
And the only thing I get now (alone)
is how the blowing wind survived,
because you're so far away (alone)
So why you steal my wave?
So remember, we had good times
and I'll never forget your eyes.
So does all love end the same,
Leaving us all torn and broken?
And look at how windswept
my life's become since you left.
You're nowhere but my spinning head.
No one seems to understand
how your scent blows off the ocean.
I can't believe I let you go,
laying here so sad and all alone.

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,
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
