to watch the leaves grow on the trees with you is out of question
i walk into this summer all alone the usual session
you feel your instinct then you act but was it your intention
to leave me down and broken now you've ended out ascension
yeah
i still can feel the beach sand in my shoes
remember when we talked along the ocean's song til blue from black
fade in
but that was then i learned to live without you far within
i ask you why you're back to try to let me lose again
you brought me here you wet my taste
you disappear without a trace
it wasnt me who made the call
cuz now i wanna be
where you sleep where you laugh where you breathe
and i hate to say still i sway brown your eyes gone away
should i feel some closure i deserve that at least
and would you be so kind to show reasons for your release
you woke me up form a distant past i left behind complete
the message that you sent that night now falls to bittersweet
was it me my honesty you fail to show i' never know
it wasn't me who made the call
was it me my honesty
you fail to show i never know
you brought me here you wet my taste you disappear without a trace
did youthink i'd lead you wrong
just know i'll save all of our moments that we are
someday you'll with you never...

    This is my favorite song on the CD. It has a great meaning to me. It reminds me of this guy, my first love ya know? No matter how much I got hurt or how far away from me he was, I wanted to always be with him. At times I still do. This part touches me the most: should i feel some closure i deserve that at least and would you be so kind to show reasons for your release you woke me up form a distant past i left behind complete

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,

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
