Lucky

Osker

Waking up every day in the same bed for nine long years and it all goes by.
I'm glad with what I got so you won't hear one word of regret coming out of my mouth.
I've wasted so much goddamn precious time worrying and complaining.
I'm so spoiled my eyes sewn shut.
I thought I was caught in a rut,
But I'm in no danger.
Yeah, I'm lucky.
Some people are more dull than me.
I'm so afraid of turning into a blank face.
Did you get lost on the drive?
How does it feel to be completely unnerved by the repetitive pounding of every day?
And every fucking day you're doing something,
How does it feel to go nowhere?
Where will you be 15 years from now?
Because accomplishments are nothing but instant gratification.
And were all gonna rot...

    "i thought i was caught in a rut, but i'm in no danger. yeah, i'm lucky" Osker with something that could be called 'uplifting'??? well maybe not so uplifting for most bands, but for these guys it doesn't get much more positive. but of course the whole song isn't like that it ends with... "because accomplishments are nothing but instant gratification. and were all gonna rot..." :)

    positive depression. Melancholy can be more uplifting than hapiness. or more satisfying

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,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
