It’s been a rollercoaster ride
But now everything’s all right
Everything’s all right
I never thought that I would find
So many things about this life
That make it worth living

When I was at my lowest point
I didn’t know which way to turn
You picked me up
Turned me around
And showed me how
To live this life in such a way
That much can come from what I say
And what I do
It’s all from You
It’s all from You

I have a story to tell
A story of a time in which I fell
Farther than I ever have
Farther than I ever knew
When I was feeling all alone
Feeling like I was standing on my own
You showed me that wasn’t true
God, You helped me through

Yeah I really thought it was the end
But now it’s bright enough to see
It was just the beginning
The beginning of a life that now I see
Was truly meant to be
A life that wasn’t weak

And now I’m here to let you know
That when you think you’re on your own
You’re not alone
You’re not alone
You’re not alone
And in this story of you life
You can help someone with their fight
To overcome
To overcome
Like you have done

We all have a story to tell
A story of a time in which we fell
Farther than we ever have
Farther than we ever knew
When we were feeling all alone
Feeling like we were standing on our own
You showed us that wasn’t true
God, You helped us through

And despite my growing fears
When it feels like You’re not near
You’re always there
And my story’s not over
It’s being written still
By the greatest Author of all time

I have a story to tell
A story of a time in which I fell
Farther than I ever have
Farther than I ever knew
And when I’m feeling all alone
When I feel like I’m standing on my own
You show me that’s not true
God, You help me though
God, You help me through

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,

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
