Anni come giorni son volati via
Brevi fotogrammi o treni in galleria
È un effetto serra che scioglie la felicità
Delle nostre voglie e dei nostri jeans cosa resterà?
Di questi anni maledetti dentro gli occhi tuoi
Anni bucati e distratti noi vittime di noi
Ora però ci costa il non amarsi più
È un dolore nascosto giù nell'anima

Cosa resterà di questi anni ottanta?
Afferrati e già scivolati via
Cosa resterà?
E la radio canta una verità dentro una bugia

Anni ballando, ballando Reagan-Gorbaciov
Danza la fame nel mondo, un tragico rondò
Noi siamo sempre più soli singole metà
Anni sui libri di scuola e poi che cosa resterà
Anni di amori violenti litigando per le vie
Sempre pronti io e te a nuove geometrie
Anni vuoti come lattine abbandonate là
Ora che siamo alla fine, noi, di questa eternità

Cosa resterà di questi anni ottanta?
Chi la scatterà la fotografia?
Cosa resterà, oh?
E la radio canta
"Won't you break my heart?"
"Won't you break my heart?"

Anni rampanti dei miti sorridenti da windsurf
Sono già diventati graffiti ed ognuno pensa a sé
Forse domani a quest'ora non sarò esistito mai
E i sentimenti che senti tu se ne andranno come spray
Uh, oh no, no, no, no

Anni veri di pubblicità, ma che cosa resterà?
Anni allegri e depressi di follia e lucidità
Sembran già degli anni ottanta per noi
Quasi ottanta anni fa, whoa whoa, oh no

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.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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,

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Amazing
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.
