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.
Call me
Any time just call me
Tell me that you want me
Feel it everywhere
Hold me
Never let go of me
I love it when you hold me
Tell me that you care
And if the sky should ever fall
Then I'll come running
Just you call
I could be with you
If I could be with you
Touch me
You know you make it beautiful
Everything is physical
It really turns me on
Miss me
Every time you go away
Don't you leave me lonely
I hate it when you're gone
And if the sky should ever fall
Then I'll come running
Just you call
I would be with you
If I could be with you
Yeah and if the sky should ever fall
Then I'll come running
Just you call
I could be with you
Yes I could be with you
Little darling
I'm gonna wait for you
I'm gonna wait for you
Hmm love is coming
Sure love is coming
Want me
Lovers say you want me
And tell me that you need me
Is all I wanna know
I'll be
Waiting for the phone to ring
I love it when you haunt me
Everywhere I go
I come running
If I could be
I come running
If I could be
I come running
I come running
I come running
I come running
I come running back to you
I come running back to you
Call me
Never let go of me
Any time just call me
Tell me that you want me
Feel it everywhere
Hold me
Never let go of me
I love it when you hold me
Tell me that you care
And if the sky should ever fall
Then I'll come running
Just you call
I could be with you
If I could be with you
Touch me
You know you make it beautiful
Everything is physical
It really turns me on
Miss me
Every time you go away
Don't you leave me lonely
I hate it when you're gone
And if the sky should ever fall
Then I'll come running
Just you call
I would be with you
If I could be with you
Yeah and if the sky should ever fall
Then I'll come running
Just you call
I could be with you
Yes I could be with you
Little darling
I'm gonna wait for you
I'm gonna wait for you
Hmm love is coming
Sure love is coming
Want me
Lovers say you want me
And tell me that you need me
Is all I wanna know
I'll be
Waiting for the phone to ring
I love it when you haunt me
Everywhere I go
I come running
If I could be
I come running
If I could be
I come running
I come running
I come running
I come running
I come running back to you
I come running back to you
Call me
Never let go of me

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,
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
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.
