He said to only look up
He said to never look down
Down is where we came from
He said to hope for the best
And take a load off my chest
Soon I could be happy

And go all the way
Up to heaven
And go all the way
Back home

He thought I might need his help
No one gets high on themselves
I just seemed so lonely
He's just trying to be nice
And spread around his advice
I could be that happy

And go all the way
Up to heaven
And go all the way
Back home

Stay the way is certainement disaster
He can tell a fairy tale
It's happily ever after
Just relax and greener grass
Will grow here for a change
Maybe then we'll last a million years or more
Or more
Or more
Or more
Or more

And go all the way
Up to heaven
And go all the way
Back home

Yes, I do believe what he says
I want to be happy
I could sure use his help
No one gets by on themselves
He can make me happy

It's a warm summer breeze
It's weakness in your knees
It's perfect place above full everlasting love
Nothing to fear
Nothing to hide you
Just say what's on your mind
Needn't think before you speak
This is how it's meant to be
Ever high never fall
You can do no wrong at all
In this heaven up above
Filled with everlasting love
To the light
To the light

The Night We Met
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"

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
