This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
solitaire, such a fateful game
she turns her cards and writes her name on the napkin
mow she turns another card
she dreams about the house and romance
he promised but won't deliver
she waits alone
with dried out hopes
and dormant phone
she waits for years
and fantasies melt
new ones appear
but they won't help
and again she catches him
eye pulls away with light too dim
she calls his name and runs around
but he was faster
all alone in a bad part of town
she waits again
with dried out hopes
and things made for him
a little ride, a little fun was all
he held her tight, got tired and then let go
the strain on her heart
she believed a lying blackheart
painted with promises
then he left her on the floor
with only the mirror to curse
"should've known better"
but how she cried...
she turns her cards and writes her name on the napkin
mow she turns another card
she dreams about the house and romance
he promised but won't deliver
she waits alone
with dried out hopes
and dormant phone
she waits for years
and fantasies melt
new ones appear
but they won't help
and again she catches him
eye pulls away with light too dim
she calls his name and runs around
but he was faster
all alone in a bad part of town
she waits again
with dried out hopes
and things made for him
a little ride, a little fun was all
he held her tight, got tired and then let go
the strain on her heart
she believed a lying blackheart
painted with promises
then he left her on the floor
with only the mirror to curse
"should've known better"
but how she cried...

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.

Page

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
It;s abour a relationship gome bad. He;s never there for her, nibidy is. She;s very lonely. Cinstanly hoping things will get better "some day" bvut they never do. She just keeps waiting for something to happen but he doesnt even act like he cares about her. And she seems to blame herself.
I love Toad as a band, and I need to hear more of their songs. However, I'm not understanding this motif of violent anti-male subject matter in a number of their songs. It almost seems as if they hold the stereotypical societal belief that a majority of men are trash and have no social redeeming value; and that women are Christocentric, omniscient, perfect souls who are simply at the mercy of men, and are held back in every way because of it.
