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.
Clash, all I do is clash
Keep that lane and take your milage man
I like my drapes to clash
Clash, all I do is clash
Drinkin' vodka with a splash and if I see you we gon clash
Clash, all I do is clash
Mix the Pucci with the Gucci
I don't like my clothes to match
Clash, all my shit be clashing
I hate haters with a passion
I see ya then we smashing
Clashing, clashing, all my niggas clashing
Past around that thrash man
You know these niggas thrashing
Niggas got killed yesterday
I do not know what happened
Playing games with Gucci man
Snitchin' done turned into fashion
I just started rapping
Never stop trapping
Custy ass finest nigga
You can call me papi
You can call me daddy
Cause I use to sew your manhood
Gucci Mane your ganster
I got grunts instead of grammys
Rdin' through Savannah
And my cutlass super reckless
Bouldercrest they had two Rari's
And my niggas sent the damage
Talk my niggas on
And the hood couldn't even handle it
The young niggas I role with, kill everyone in your family
Clash, all I do is clash
Keep that lane and take your milage man
I like my drapes to clash
Clash, all I do is clash
Drinkin' vodka with a splash and if I see you we gon clash
Clash, all I do is clash
Mix the Pucci with the Gucci
I don't like my clothes to match
Clash, all my shit be clashing
I hate haters with a passion
I see ya then we smashing
I mix the pimping with the rapping bitch
Twin Ferrai's, on the slab you know I do this shit
Call Gucci cause he only one can spot this shit (spot this shit)
The only real nigga first
Up in 96'
It's OGD, I bought this shit for real
Ain't never had a motherfucking gangster grill
This 20k
I got them white for real
Call these motherfuckers
Tell 'em I keep it real
Yeah OGD (OGD), don't follow me (don't follow me)
You know I pack that steal
Then I pop a nigga for real
Don't violate me
I ain't calling nobody
I'm on my own nigga
Ask the streets about me
OGD
Clash, all I do is clash
Keep that lane and take your milage man
I like my drapes to clash
Clash, all I do is clash
Drinkin' vodka with a splash and if I see you we gon clash
Clash, all I do is clash
Mix the Pucci with the Gucci
I don't like my clothes to match
Clash, all my shit be clashing
I hate haters with a passion
I see ya then we smashing
For the money I be smashing
Two hundred on the dash
Pick that ass and smash it
Molly's got me clashin'
Designers mix matched it
Haters with a passion
Send me to hoe
The way these diamonds be flashing
Go out say let's hit
That mean the team clashing
Choppers get to blastin'
Pussy jump side like a rabbit
Yeah my bitch is classy
Exotic but she nasty
Money over bitches
So the money I got to have it
You think I'm on a diet
The way these diamonds got these carrots
The haters talk behind my back
I think they need a parrot
You think I'm in my zone
The way a nigga be trapping
Award you with these bullets
When they go and get the clashin'
Clash, all I do is clash
Keep that lane and take your milage man
I like my drapes to clash
Clash, all I do is clash
Drinkin' vodka with a splash and if I see you we gon clash
Clash, all I do is clash
Mix the Pucci with the Gucci
I don't like my clothes to match

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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,

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.
