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.
Por tu fragilidad, te sueño y te respiro
Por todo lo que das, porque quiso el destino
Mi principio, mi final
Por todo lo que llevas dentro
Por tu fragilidad, porque eres como el viento
Porque eres libertad, porque eres un misterio
Fantasía, realidad
Porque a tu lado todo es nuevo
Por eso estoy aquí, por eso no me he ido
Por eso muero por ti, porque me siento vivo
Con la magia que me das
Píntame de azul esta mañana
Ilumíname esta noche con tu voz
Lléname de fe esta madrugada
Que la vida nunca pierda su color
Rompe mi rutina con un beso
Dame todo lo que tú me quieras dar
Cuéntame el milagro de tus sueños
Que a tu lado hoy me quisiera quedar
Por tu fragilidad, porque eres lluvia y fuego
Agua de manantial, calor en el invierno
Mi futuro, mi verdad
Porque a tu lado todo es bueno
Por eso estoy aquí, por eso no me he ido
Por eso muero por ti, porque me siento vivo
Con la magia que me das
Píntame de azul esta mañana
Ilumíname esta noche con tu voz
Lléname de fe esta madrugada
Que la vida nunca pierda su color
Rompe mi rutina con un beso
Dame todo lo que tú me quieras dar
Cuéntame el milagro de tus sueños
Que a tu lado hoy me quisiera quedar
Por todo lo que das, porque quiso el destino
Mi principio, mi final
Por todo lo que llevas dentro
Por tu fragilidad, porque eres como el viento
Porque eres libertad, porque eres un misterio
Fantasía, realidad
Porque a tu lado todo es nuevo
Por eso estoy aquí, por eso no me he ido
Por eso muero por ti, porque me siento vivo
Con la magia que me das
Píntame de azul esta mañana
Ilumíname esta noche con tu voz
Lléname de fe esta madrugada
Que la vida nunca pierda su color
Rompe mi rutina con un beso
Dame todo lo que tú me quieras dar
Cuéntame el milagro de tus sueños
Que a tu lado hoy me quisiera quedar
Por tu fragilidad, porque eres lluvia y fuego
Agua de manantial, calor en el invierno
Mi futuro, mi verdad
Porque a tu lado todo es bueno
Por eso estoy aquí, por eso no me he ido
Por eso muero por ti, porque me siento vivo
Con la magia que me das
Píntame de azul esta mañana
Ilumíname esta noche con tu voz
Lléname de fe esta madrugada
Que la vida nunca pierda su color
Rompe mi rutina con un beso
Dame todo lo que tú me quieras dar
Cuéntame el milagro de tus sueños
Que a tu lado hoy me quisiera quedar

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,

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
