"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.
Someday we'll be together
Say it, say it again
Someday we'll be together
You're far away from me my love, and just as sure my,
My baby as there are stars above,
I wanna say, I wanna say, I wanna say some day we'll be together;
Yes we will, yes we will say some day we'll be together.
Someday day, some sweet day we will be together
I know, I know, I know, I know
My love is yours, baby
Oh, right from the start
You, you, you possess my soul now honey
And I know, I know you won my heart.
And I wanna say someday (some sweet day) we'll be together.
Ah,yes we will, yes we will
someday we'll be together, tell everybody now
Ah,yes we will, yes we will
Long time ago my, my sweet thing, I made a big mistake, honey.
I say, I said goodbye.
Oh, Oh baby ever ever, ever, never, never since that day now,
Now all I, all I wanna do ah is cry, cry,cry, cry
Oh hey, hey, hey
How long are you, every night,
Just to kiss your sweet, sweet lips,
Hold you ever so tight and I wanna say
Someday we'll be together.
Oh, yes we will, yes we will.
Someday we'll be together.
Oh, yes we will, yes we will.
Someday we'll be together.
Ah, honey, honey
some day we'll be together.
Yes we will, yes we will
Say it, say it again
Someday we'll be together
You're far away from me my love, and just as sure my,
My baby as there are stars above,
I wanna say, I wanna say, I wanna say some day we'll be together;
Yes we will, yes we will say some day we'll be together.
Someday day, some sweet day we will be together
I know, I know, I know, I know
My love is yours, baby
Oh, right from the start
You, you, you possess my soul now honey
And I know, I know you won my heart.
And I wanna say someday (some sweet day) we'll be together.
Ah,yes we will, yes we will
someday we'll be together, tell everybody now
Ah,yes we will, yes we will
Long time ago my, my sweet thing, I made a big mistake, honey.
I say, I said goodbye.
Oh, Oh baby ever ever, ever, never, never since that day now,
Now all I, all I wanna do ah is cry, cry,cry, cry
Oh hey, hey, hey
How long are you, every night,
Just to kiss your sweet, sweet lips,
Hold you ever so tight and I wanna say
Someday we'll be together.
Oh, yes we will, yes we will.
Someday we'll be together.
Oh, yes we will, yes we will.
Someday we'll be together.
Ah, honey, honey
some day we'll be together.
Yes we will, yes we will

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
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 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.
