Barcelona

The Rentals

Got Absinthe
Got Gaudi
And I got Jamboree
Got my chicas
Maria, Anna, Monica (Maria, Anna, Monica)
And I got Noemi
(A what cha gotta)
Got Picasso Blue (got Picasso Blue)
And I got the Good Bar Crew
Got Bikini
And the New York disco
Got surreal Dali
Oh, yeah (Oh, yeah)
Lost and rollin', driftin' loosely on my own through
Barcelona, Barcelona
Catalonia, take over
Barcelona
Got Iberia, Got Oveja Negra
Got Zeleste
And the Karma dub
I got the Pipa Club
(A what cha gotta)
Got Picasso Blue (got Picasso Blue)
Got a senorita too
The Panam's sex show
Got my transvestites
At the Top of the Mountain disco
Yeah (Yeah)
Lost and rollin'
I don't got much to go back to
Lost and rollin', driftin' loosely on my own through
Barcelona, Barcelona
Catalonia, take over
Barcelona
(Oh, oh)
Barcelona
(Oh, oh)
Barcelona
(Oh, oh)
Barcelona
(Oh, oh)
Barcelona
My sweet angel, Barcelona, hide me safely, give me shelter
In a dark place under assumed name through Catalonia
Lost and rollin', driftin' loosely, no occupation, Barcelona
The last angel, Barcelona

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

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,

Punchline
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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
