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.
So you messed up this god awful day
You used everyone in the room
To show your best stuff
Went home with the flame
It sure wasn't me but you know,
I got a plan
To make a bed of some clothes in my back seat
Sleep 'til the sun comes up again
Let's forget about it
In the traditional way
Well, I left you in the club makin' love
Do your drugs, yeah and you do the same, the same
Late, you wake up
It's all been a dream
Your head throbs to the beat of the alarm clock
It won't shut up
And leave you to sleep
Your girls they've been callin' like "Hey, get dressed up"
Make some noise on the street
But you know, you gotta land
'Cause you've been high as the sky for the sixth straight night
Yeah you've been goin' since last weekend
Let's forget about it
In the traditional way
Well, I left you in the club makin' love
Do your drugs, yeah and you do the same, the same
Let's forget about it
In the traditional way
Well, I left you in the club makin' love
Do your drugs, yeah and you do the same, yes and you do the same
Oh and you do the same
Let's forget about
Just forget about
Help me forget about
Let's forget about it
Let's forget about it
Let's forget about
Let's forget about
Let's forget about
Just forget about
Help me forget about
Let's forget about it
You used everyone in the room
To show your best stuff
Went home with the flame
It sure wasn't me but you know,
I got a plan
To make a bed of some clothes in my back seat
Sleep 'til the sun comes up again
Let's forget about it
In the traditional way
Well, I left you in the club makin' love
Do your drugs, yeah and you do the same, the same
Late, you wake up
It's all been a dream
Your head throbs to the beat of the alarm clock
It won't shut up
And leave you to sleep
Your girls they've been callin' like "Hey, get dressed up"
Make some noise on the street
But you know, you gotta land
'Cause you've been high as the sky for the sixth straight night
Yeah you've been goin' since last weekend
Let's forget about it
In the traditional way
Well, I left you in the club makin' love
Do your drugs, yeah and you do the same, the same
Let's forget about it
In the traditional way
Well, I left you in the club makin' love
Do your drugs, yeah and you do the same, yes and you do the same
Oh and you do the same
Let's forget about
Just forget about
Help me forget about
Let's forget about it
Let's forget about it
Let's forget about
Let's forget about
Let's forget about
Just forget about
Help me forget about
Let's forget about it

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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,

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
