This is the Heartbreak Hotel

You say
You say you never met him
But won't go back and tell 'em 'cause you playing two ways
Why did you say forever and then you change your weather?
Why you staying with me?
Fake when you around me
I usually back watching while I'm drownin'
Put me back together how you found me, ooh
(Look what you did to me) oh

You're showing no remorse
Just let it take it's course
Clearly, I see
You don't love me no more

(Hey) this is the
It's getting too late to talk about it, baby (oh)
It's fading, we lost touch
This is the (we lost touch)
This situation feeling shady, so gone, so off
This is the (Heartbreak Hotel)
(This is the Heartbreak Hotel) oh
(This is the Heartbreak, oh, yeah)
You knew you wasn't ready, baby
Why not be honest?

All I really want is some more of your time
Wish I could read your mind, but instead you lie
What are you doing with me? (What are you doing with me?)
Oh-oh, what you do with me?
You like to say you came with me
Then turn to point the blame like I'm wrong
I get the picture frame in me (oh)
Been sleeping with the enemy, no
Don't appreciate that energy, yeah

You're showing no remorse
Just let it take it's course
Clearly, I see you don't love me no more, yeah

This is the
It's getting too late to talk about it, baby (oh)
It's fading, we lots touch (we lost touch, baby)
This is the
This situation feeling shady, so gone, so off
(This is the Heartbreak Hotel)
(This is the Heartbreak Hotel) hey, oh, oh
(This is the heartbreak)
You knew you wasn't ready, baby
Why not be honest?

All I really wanted was some of your time
Instead, you told me lies when someone else was on your mind
What'd you do to me? (oh, baby)
Look what you did to me (you don't love me no more, ooh)
I thought that you were someone who would do me right (this is the hurt)
Until you played with my emotions and you made me cry (the heartbreak)
What you'd do to me?
(Why'd you do it?) can't talk what you did to me

(This is the Heartbreak Hotel) all I really wanted was some of your time, oh, baby
(This is the Heartbreak Hotel) instead, you told me lies when someone else was on your mind
(This is the Heartbreak Hotel) what'd you do to me? Ooh, all I really wanted, baby
(This is the Heartbreak Hotel) I thought that you were someone who would do me right
(This is the Heartbreak Hotel)

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

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,

Ed Sheeran
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.
