This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Fools run the government, sick foreign policy
Their words sound valiant, but their hands are green
Unending quest for power, taxes that make us slaves
Don't believe a word of it ignore the fucked up things they say
'Cause I'm gonna make it on my own
Dictator on a throne
Make my own philosophy
U.S. of me (U.S. of me)
A citizen who's really pissed, united Anarchists
Give me death or liberty, I am my own country
United states confederate of me
Old wigs in parliament, play bedroom politics
Salacious stories make them look obscene
Spin on your nemesis, fill up the news today
Don't believe a word of it not all the fucked up things they say
'Cause I'm gonna make it on my own
Dictator on a throne
Make my own philosophy
U.S. of me (U.S. of me)
A citizen who's really pissed, united Anarchists
Give me death or liberty, I am my own country
United states confederate of me
It's all me
No secret police
It's all me
Fools run the government, sick foreign policy
Their words sound valiant, but their hands are green
Unending quest for power, taxes that make us slaves
Don't believe a word of it ignore the fucked up things they say
'Cause I'm gonna make it on my own
Dictator on a throne
Make my own philosophy
U.S. of me (U.S. of me)
A citizen who's really pissed, united Anarchists
Give me death or liberty, I am my own country
United states confederate of me
It's all me
No secret police
It's all me
Their words sound valiant, but their hands are green
Unending quest for power, taxes that make us slaves
Don't believe a word of it ignore the fucked up things they say
'Cause I'm gonna make it on my own
Dictator on a throne
Make my own philosophy
U.S. of me (U.S. of me)

Gentle Hour

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 song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.

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 is about individualism. Believes that the government has too much power over individual freedom, and more free rights should be given to people.
