Well lets take off from the start
I know you've tried all this before
and did your best to fight the war
and break it off but if i follow
my name i will calm you in the storm
and breathe you in when you are
worn be still my love would it
take a shooting star? to show you
life can bloom when somethings breaks
and when the pieces fall ill catch them all

Never mind what you're looking for
you'll always find what you're looking for
sometimes its blinding in the race
but ill be here smiling when i see your face

Never mind what you're looking for
you are gonna find what you're looking for
sometimes its blinding in the race
But ill be here smiling when i see your face

Yeah its hard to know the truth
in this post-modernist view
where absolutes are seen as relics
and laughed out of the room
and i'm scared to say your name
I've cried wolf so many times cause
i'm afraid of what you'd want from me
will you find me trough the grey?
My minds a minefield of the wretched
its honestly deceptive

Never mind what you're looking for
you'll always find what youre looking for
sometimes its blinding in the race
but ill be here smiling when i see your face

Never mind what you're looking for
you are gonna find what you're looking for
sometimes its blinding in the race
But ill be here smiling when i see your face

Soul clap your hands and sing
Never mind what you're looking for
you'll always find what you're looking for

Never mind what you're looking for
you'll always find what your'e looking for

    My Interpretation

    This song is about somehow breaking up with somebody who loved you, and who you also love. But since he's anxious about a relationship, since maybe he has not got that big feelings or he's been hurt to often, he wants to be in a gray zone like friends with benefits.

    Nevermind /// Nevermind that it didn't work with us, you'll be fine

    you've tried all this before and did your best to fight the war and break it off /// She tried to break their connection completely off, because maybe she tried many times to stay friends and it didn't work out.

    I follow my name /// His name is Foster. So even if they broke up he will "calm her in the storm". Because she's "still his love", and life can also bloom for her, even if their relationship broke into pieces.

    In the refrain he tells her: Nevermind what you're looking for, you'll always find, what you're looking for, meaning that she can go on with her life, she's beauiful and she'll always get what she wants. Maybe also that she can have it from him, but without the strings of a relationship/marriage

    Sometimes its blinding in the race /// Sometimes you fall for the wrong person like him or sometimes you got the wrong impression what a person wants.

    Its hard to know the truth in this post-modernist view where absolutes are seen as relics /// In todays post-modern views being single or being married seems like an old relict. So most of the people are "mingles" (mixed single), like him. He is also scared to go into a relationship because he's been hurt so often. He has cried wolf so many times meaning he cried hardly because he's afraid of the thing she and other women wanted from him (deep love / relationship / marriage)

    Will you find me trough the grey? My minds a minefield of the wretched,its honestly deceptive /// On the other hand he hopes that she will be stay with him in a not relationship way - in the gray zone. Maybe like friends with benefits. So he knows that his mind is in someway twisted, a "minefield of the wretched" (because he's been hurt so many times) for other people. Its "honestly decepting" because she thought that he was trying to be in a relationship.

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.

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.

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.

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.
