I've got nothing to do or say this week
I'll spend the better half of my afternoons asleep
And if anyone needs me they'll just have to wait
I'm running late for anything remotely intriguing
And I haven't left home in God knows how long
Moving oh so slow
And no one else knows what to do

I'll write this out instead
I've got major chords running through my head
Before I start citing unreliable sources
I'll put this to tape and get back in bed

Oh no
Where does the time go?
I'm moving oh so slow
And everyone else knows
I haven't left home in God knows how long
I'm moving oh so slow
But what do they know?

In time I'll find solid ground
And peace of mind
But for now, I've got my night all planned out
I made sure to set my alarm

Everyone's got a better plan, but me
Everyone's got a better plan, but me
I can wake up days and days later
I can wake up days and days later
With something good to say

Oh no
Where does the time go?

I haven't left home in God knows how long
I'm moving oh so slow
But what do they know?
What do they know?
What do they know?
What do they know?

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,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
