In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
J. Lo
Philly gettin closer
Stuntin' like I'm supposed to
Stop me ?
Philly gettin closer
Stuntin' like I'm supposed to
Stop me ?
When you make it your're the chosen (you're the chosen)
Sayin time you're in trouble (you in trouble)
Mama told me stay up by that corner (at that corner)
Thank God that we made that out that corner (out that corner)
Goin' crazy ? Suicidal (race boys)
Iris watchin' your money on a fork (on a fork)
Shorty you ?
Haters wanna see in me in a bodybath
My head's killing me
I'm losing sleep
And I'm waking up tired, of it all
Early in the morning
And there's something already
With my name always involved
I'm tryin' to get rid of the baggage
Fake friends I call them has-been
Yeah they mind on stuck
And it's OK if they don't show me luck , no
They want me to lock down
They want me to crawl
They want me to cry now
But I've never fallen off
Why you tryna put the world up on my shoulders?
Get off of me yeah
Get off of me yeah
Too damn grown, I don't owe nobody
Get off of me yeah
Get off of me yeah
Why you tryna put the world up on my shoulders?
Get off of me yeah
Get off of me yeah
Too damn grown, I don't owe nobody
Get off of me yeah
Get off of me yeah
'Cause in the end I'm still the same girl (same girl)
Same girl (same girl)
Same girl (same girl)
I'm just the same girl (same girl)
Same girl (same girl)
Same girl (same girl)
Show me what I gotta do
I'm tryna make it clear to you
Not dealing with the attitude
I'm tired
Of tryna make you see that I'm still me
Switched up my longitude and latitude
You're in my way, you better move
'Cause I'm on the same ground
No, I never changed, I loving every day
I know that I'm the same Jenny from around the way
They want me to lock down
They want me to crawl
They want me to cry now
But I've never fallen off
Why you tryna put the world up on my shoulders?
Get off of me yeah
Get off of me
Too damn grown, I don't owe nobody
Get off of me yeah
Get off of me yeah
Why you tryna put the world up on my shoulders?
Get off of me yeah
Get off of me yeah
Too damn grown, I don't owe nobody

Same girl (same girl)
I'ma keep on growin'
Keep on shinin'
Just wanna do me
I had a thing that 'cause he chose me
I'm still the same girl
When I was there broke, there was nobody (nobody)
Back to the walls, there's nobody
Still the same old nigga
Thirty new cars, thirty chains on nigga
Bein' real (bein' real)
Count money (count money)
Get high (get high) oh la la
Bein' real (been real)
Count money (count money)
Gettin' high (gettin' high) oh la la

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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,
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
