This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Well, it's too late for walking in the middle,
Too late to try.
Yes, it's too late for sitting in the balance,
No more middle line.
Oh, it's too late for walking on fences,
Time to choose your side.
Yes, it's too late for flirtin' with the darkness,
Make up your mind.
Oh, the time has come for making a decision,
And you say you've found the light.
But the talk is cheap when I see the way you're living,
Walking in the night.
Well, it's too late for walking in the middle,
Too late to try.
Yes, it's too late for sitting in the balance,
No more middle line.
Oh, it's too late for thinking you can walk the middle line...
Better get wise.
You may think that you can live by your feelings,
Different every night.
But an emotional religion will crumble at our feet,
If we're made to stand and fight.
Well, it's too late for walking on fences,
Time to choose you side.
Yes, it's too late for flirtin' with the darkness,
Make up your mind.
Well, it's too late for thinking you can walk the middle line
Better get wise.
Well, it's too late for walking in the middle,
Too late to try.
Yes, it's too late for sitting in the balance,
No more middle line.
Oh, it's too late for walking on fences,
Time to choose your side.
Yes, it's too late for flirtin' with the darkness,
Please make up your mind.
Well, it's too late for walking in the middle,
Too late to try.
Yes, it's too late for sitting in the balance,
No more middle line.
Oh, it's too late for walking on fences,
Time to choose your side.
Yes, it's too late for flirtin' with the darkness,
Please make up your mind.
Too late to try.
Yes, it's too late for sitting in the balance,
No more middle line.
Oh, it's too late for walking on fences,
Time to choose your side.
Yes, it's too late for flirtin' with the darkness,
Make up your mind.
Oh, the time has come for making a decision,
And you say you've found the light.
But the talk is cheap when I see the way you're living,
Walking in the night.
Well, it's too late for walking in the middle,
Too late to try.
Yes, it's too late for sitting in the balance,
No more middle line.
Oh, it's too late for thinking you can walk the middle line...
Better get wise.
You may think that you can live by your feelings,
Different every night.
But an emotional religion will crumble at our feet,
If we're made to stand and fight.
Well, it's too late for walking on fences,
Time to choose you side.
Yes, it's too late for flirtin' with the darkness,
Make up your mind.
Well, it's too late for thinking you can walk the middle line
Better get wise.
Well, it's too late for walking in the middle,
Too late to try.
Yes, it's too late for sitting in the balance,
No more middle line.
Oh, it's too late for walking on fences,
Time to choose your side.
Yes, it's too late for flirtin' with the darkness,
Please make up your mind.
Well, it's too late for walking in the middle,
Too late to try.
Yes, it's too late for sitting in the balance,
No more middle line.
Oh, it's too late for walking on fences,
Time to choose your side.
Yes, it's too late for flirtin' with the darkness,
Please make up your mind.

Gentle Hour

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,
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
Plastic Bag

Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
