This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I have crossed this road before
for many years I'm sure
don't recognize the faces though
that pass me by
I've been off and on my way again
passed marsh road atherton
black mountain way and bored
stale houses on the yellowed plains
I'm going off again and
for no good reason
year by year I've achieved some type of feeling that
suggests I've traveled miles that lead to nowhere fast
I've seen the lot of them
from queens to journeyman
bigots and confidantes
I've spoken to and laughed with
destructive catalysts
professionals and loyalists
punk rock pop nihilists
have grown up amongst suburban architects
who can say that it was all deceiving
or that anybody was mislead?
I'm not the one to be judging
I may not even be who I think I am
The asphalt is my burning bed
has left me invalid
puts me to sleep at night
in the arms of some strange no mans land
I'll be back northbound and west
I need the fucking rest
but in the meantime
these broken roads and homes will ring in my head
for many years I'm sure
don't recognize the faces though
that pass me by
I've been off and on my way again
passed marsh road atherton
black mountain way and bored
stale houses on the yellowed plains
I'm going off again and
for no good reason
year by year I've achieved some type of feeling that
suggests I've traveled miles that lead to nowhere fast
I've seen the lot of them
from queens to journeyman
bigots and confidantes
I've spoken to and laughed with
destructive catalysts
professionals and loyalists
punk rock pop nihilists
have grown up amongst suburban architects
who can say that it was all deceiving
or that anybody was mislead?
I'm not the one to be judging
I may not even be who I think I am
The asphalt is my burning bed
has left me invalid
puts me to sleep at night
in the arms of some strange no mans land
I'll be back northbound and west
I need the fucking rest
but in the meantime
these broken roads and homes will ring in my head

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,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
