This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Stood at the cold face
Stood with our backs to the sun
I can remember being nothing but fearless and young
We've become echoes, but echoes, they fade away
We've fallen to the dark as we dive under the waves
(I heard you say)
The devil's on your shoulder
The strangers in your head
As if you don't remember
As if you can forget
It's only been a moment
It's only been a lifetime
But tonight you're a stranger
Some silhouette
Let's go out in flames so everyone knows who we are
'Cause these city walls never knew that we'd make it this far
We've become echoes, but echoes are fading away
So let's dance like two shadows, burning out a glory day
Devil's on your shoulder
Strangers in your head
As if you don't remember
As if you can forget
It's only been a moment
It's only been a lifetime
But tonight you're a stranger
Some silhouette
Just hold me
Just hold me
Just hold me
Just hold me
Devil's on your shoulder
Strangers in your head
As if you don't remember
As if you can forget
It's only been a moment
It's only been a lifetime
But tonight you're a stranger
Some silhouette
Only been a moment
It's only been a lifetime
But tonight you're a stranger
Some silhouette
But tonight you're a stranger
Some silhouette
Stood with our backs to the sun
I can remember being nothing but fearless and young
We've become echoes, but echoes, they fade away
We've fallen to the dark as we dive under the waves
(I heard you say)
The devil's on your shoulder
The strangers in your head
As if you don't remember
As if you can forget
It's only been a moment
It's only been a lifetime
But tonight you're a stranger
Some silhouette
Let's go out in flames so everyone knows who we are
'Cause these city walls never knew that we'd make it this far
We've become echoes, but echoes are fading away
So let's dance like two shadows, burning out a glory day
Devil's on your shoulder
Strangers in your head
As if you don't remember
As if you can forget
It's only been a moment
It's only been a lifetime
But tonight you're a stranger
Some silhouette
Just hold me
Just hold me
Just hold me
Just hold me
Devil's on your shoulder
Strangers in your head
As if you don't remember
As if you can forget
It's only been a moment
It's only been a lifetime
But tonight you're a stranger
Some silhouette
Only been a moment
It's only been a lifetime
But tonight you're a stranger
Some silhouette
But tonight you're a stranger
Some silhouette

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I keep coming back to see people's thoughts on the meaning of this song - and yet no comments. LMAO. You guys are missing out on a great song!
@askingtoomuch what are your thoughts on the meaning of the song??
Honestly, I think its about being younger - having no cares in the world and just feeling like you can do whatever you want, be whatever you are and go wherever you want. Then I feel like the narration grows up - starts realizing how difficult life can be and the things it can bring - both bad and good. Its like a story of someone's life.
