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”
Oooooo.
Another river runs against the grain
Another is born
Each filled with anguish
Deep within he's dying every day
To find his way
He is lost
So consumed
Can you feel him somewhere in the fallout
Is someone just like you
Who's lost to find the truth
Can you hear him from afar he cries out
For the answer to be shown
As he dares to walk the fallout on his own
So frustrated
He walks the line alone
Courage sets him apart
He is so famished
All he once embraced he now disowns
He let it go
All the while
He still waits
Can you feel him somewhere in the fallout
He is someone just like you
Who's lost to find the truth
Can you hear him from afar he cries out
For the answer to be shown
As he dares to walk the fallout on his own
Left behind he's walking burning still he tries
To unearth the meaning to this life
Cast aside his weary bleeding (?)
Disconnected still he fights to the lost (?)
Can you feel him somewhere in the fallout
Is someone just like you
Who's lost to find the truth
Can you hear him from afar he cries out
For the answer to be shown
As he dares to walk the fallout on his own
Another river runs against the grain
Another is born
Each filled with anguish
Deep within he's dying every day
To find his way
He is lost
So consumed
Can you feel him somewhere in the fallout
Is someone just like you
Who's lost to find the truth
Can you hear him from afar he cries out
For the answer to be shown
As he dares to walk the fallout on his own
So frustrated
He walks the line alone
Courage sets him apart
He is so famished
All he once embraced he now disowns
He let it go
All the while
He still waits
Can you feel him somewhere in the fallout
He is someone just like you
Who's lost to find the truth
Can you hear him from afar he cries out
For the answer to be shown
As he dares to walk the fallout on his own
Left behind he's walking burning still he tries
To unearth the meaning to this life
Cast aside his weary bleeding (?)
Disconnected still he fights to the lost (?)
Can you feel him somewhere in the fallout
Is someone just like you
Who's lost to find the truth
Can you hear him from afar he cries out
For the answer to be shown
As he dares to walk the fallout on his own

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,
Blue

“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.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
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.
One of my favorites from AB III. Great intro and excellent solo by Mark, Passionate singing by Mylesh.. Also the meaning seems obvious as the "losing faith and innocence" theme of the album applies to this song perfectly.
