I rode the highway to heartache
I took a trip on the ship of fools
And I paid the price to have my way
'cause money makes the rules

(Lay down) I'm lookin' through ya
(Stay down) You got what you should
(Pay now) All that you never would
It feels good

Hell or hallelujah
No matter what you do
I'm runnin' through ya

You said that love's never lasting
We surrender our hearts to lose
Time's up, there's nobody asking
This time I get to choose

(Lay down) Don't say you're sorry
(Stay down) I knew that you would
(Pay now) Don't say you're misunderstood
It feels good

Hell or hallelujah
No matter what you do
I'm runnin' through ya
Hell or hallelujah
The rest is up to you
It's overdue ya

One heart is breakin'
One chance I'm takin'
No lies, no fakin'
Goodbye feels like it should
It feels good

One heart is breakin'
One chance I'm takin'
No lies, no fakin'
Goodbye feels like it should
Yeah, let me tell you how it feels
It feels good

Hell or hallelujah
No matter what you do
I'm runnin' through ya
Hell or hallelujah
The rest is up to you
It's overdue ya

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.

Amazing
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.
