"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.
Que porque ya esta amor vendra
Que ya ricordar non es possible
Nuestro amor que olvidar
Sei que de nuestra amor pensar
Quel motivo tu tendras
Para corra d'olvidar, oy mi nina
No lo puede ser, con locura
Que no ya llegar, comprender l'amor
Oy mi nina, por quel motivo sera
Que recuerdo
Que ya el motivo
O sin ta mas
Lloras lloras lloras
Lloras lloras llorando
Lloras lloras lloras
Lloras lloras llorando
Lloras lloras lloras
Lloras lloras llorando
Soy que ella recorda de mi
Que el silencio que me vas
Que ya perdi cuntua ti, sei recorda del amor
Que nunca va de sera, para que sirve dolor
Oy mi vida,porque tu seras
El motivo, porque del amor
Pensar en ti, oy mi vida
Ya le conti, yo estas
Que me vas, perir d'amor
Lloras lloras lloras
Lloras lloras llorando
Lloras lloras lloras
Lloras lloras llorando
Lloras lloras lloras
Lloras lloras llorando
Que recuerda del amor
Quel silencio si me vas
Que ya perdu tu calor
Que recuerdar del amor
Que pasama una noche
En sine de ella, con locura
Ya que mi sera, que recuerdo
Que dar el amor, pensar en ti
Oy mi vida, porque ya lo nuestro ya
Que recuero, soy del mundo
Tan feliz, que la vida que
La vida que, con tigo sera
Que la vida que
Es un nuestro de pensar
Olvidar, que la vida que
Que el recuerdo, di a su amor
Nunca mas, nunca mas
Que ya ricordar non es possible
Nuestro amor que olvidar
Sei que de nuestra amor pensar
Quel motivo tu tendras
Para corra d'olvidar, oy mi nina
No lo puede ser, con locura
Que no ya llegar, comprender l'amor
Oy mi nina, por quel motivo sera
Que recuerdo
Que ya el motivo
O sin ta mas
Lloras lloras lloras
Lloras lloras llorando
Lloras lloras lloras
Lloras lloras llorando
Lloras lloras lloras
Lloras lloras llorando
Soy que ella recorda de mi
Que el silencio que me vas
Que ya perdi cuntua ti, sei recorda del amor
Que nunca va de sera, para que sirve dolor
Oy mi vida,porque tu seras
El motivo, porque del amor
Pensar en ti, oy mi vida
Ya le conti, yo estas
Que me vas, perir d'amor
Lloras lloras lloras
Lloras lloras llorando
Lloras lloras lloras
Lloras lloras llorando
Lloras lloras lloras
Lloras lloras llorando
Que recuerda del amor
Quel silencio si me vas
Que ya perdu tu calor
Que recuerdar del amor
Que pasama una noche
En sine de ella, con locura
Ya que mi sera, que recuerdo
Que dar el amor, pensar en ti
Oy mi vida, porque ya lo nuestro ya
Que recuero, soy del mundo
Tan feliz, que la vida que
La vida que, con tigo sera
Que la vida que
Es un nuestro de pensar
Olvidar, que la vida que
Que el recuerdo, di a su amor
Nunca mas, nunca mas

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,
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
