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.
[Tony Yayo (talking with girl)]
I'm sayin wat's your name?
(My name is Kay)
Where you from?
(I'm from Brooklyn)
I'm sayin so why you wit that bird over there?
Now I don't wanna sound like a hater
(Because he can work the middle)
Oh alrite but I can too
(Lets find out)
Hahah
[Joe-Chorus]
Ma I'm curious (yea)
I wonder if I can make you mine
Baby I'm curious (so curious)
I wonder if we can spend some time
Shorty I'm curious (whoa)
Girl I wanna know wat's on your mind
Baby I'm curious (so curious)
I wonder if I can make you mine
Yayo
[Tony Yayo]
Ma I'm curious to know if I lick that spot
Will it make your body shiver and your panties drop?
Ya baby father is a lame, he a dead beat dad
So you and your kids can come cruise in my Jag
You my boo like Usher and Alicia Keys
And every time that you touch me girl you please my needs
We like George and Weezy, Jada and Will
Lets shop till we drop out in Beverly Hills
I'm curious to know if you want me girl
If so ma lets fly the country girl
I'm not sellin you a dream girl I'll give you the world
You want them furs and the minks and them diamond pearls
[Joe-Chorus]
Ma I'm curious (yea)
I wonder if I can make you mine
Baby I'm curious (so curious)
I wonder if we can spend some time
Shorty I'm curious (whoa)
Girl I wanna know wat's on your mind
Baby I'm curious (so curious)
I wonder if I can make you mine
[Tony Yayo]
I saw her in the projects goin to the store
I never had a crush like this before
Her baby daddy is a killer, he hold weight in Attica
But every time he home, he beatin her and smackin her
Ma you don't need your face black and blue
You need diamonds from Jacob that's black and blue
Water front property you see the sun risin
Back to the subject let me stop fantasizing
Listen boo, nobody in the world is perfect
So when you around my team there's no need to be nervous
I hit it from the back pull out your tracks
This curiosity girl, you's the cat
[Joe-Chorus x2]
Ma I'm curious (yea)
I wonder if I can make you mine
Baby I'm curious (so curious)
I wonder if we can spend some time
Shorty I'm curious (whoa)
Girl I wanna know wat's on your mind
Baby I'm curious (so curious)
I wonder if I can make you mine
I wanna make you mine baby
I gotta make you mine baby
Said I wanna make you mine baby
Gotta make you mine baby
Ohhhh
So curious ohhh yeaaa
I'm sayin wat's your name?
(My name is Kay)
Where you from?

I'm sayin so why you wit that bird over there?

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,
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.
American Town
