Le petit cheval dans le mauvais temps
Qu'il avait donc du courage
C'était un petit cheval blanc
Tous derrière, tous derrière
C'était un petit cheval blanc
Tous derrière et lui devant

Il n'y avait jamais de beau temps
Dans ce pauvre paysage
Il n'y avait jamais de printemps
Ni derrière, ni derrière
Il n'y avait jamais de printemps
Ni derrière ni devant

Mais toujours il était content
Menant les gars du village
À travers la pluie noire des champs
Tous derrière, tous derrière
À travers la pluie noire des champs
Tous derrière et lui devant

Sa voiture allait poursuivant
Sa belle petite queue sauvage
C'est alors qu'il était content
Tous derrière, tous derrière
C'est alors qu'il était content
Tous derrière et lui devant

Mais un jour, dans le mauvais temps
Un jour qu'il était si sage
Il est mort par un éclair blanc
Tous derrière, tous derrière
Il est mort par un éclair blanc
Tous derrière et lui devant

Il est mort sans voir le beau temps
Qu'il avait donc du courage
Il est mort sans voir le printemps
Ni derrière, ni derrière
Il est mort sans voir le beau temps
Ni derrière ni devant

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” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion.

Page
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.

Plastic Bag
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.
