MARGUERITE
When I look at you
What I always see
Is the face of someone else
Who once belonged to me
Still I can hear him laugh
And even though that melody plays on
He's gone
When I look at you
He is standing there
I can almost breathe him in
Like summer in the air
Why do you smile his smile?
That heaven I'd forgotten eases through
In you
If you could look at me once more
With all the love you felt before
If you and I could disappear into the past
And find that love we knew
I'd never take my eyes away from you
When I look at you
He is touching me
I would reach for him
But who can hold a memory?
And love isn't everything
That moonlight on the bed will melt away
Some day!
Oh, you were once that someone
Who I followed like a star
Then suddenly you changed
And now I don't know who you are
Or could it be
That I never really knew you from the start?
Did I create a dream?
Was he a fantasy?
Even a memory is paradise for all the fools like me
Now remembering is all that I can do
Because I miss him so...
When I look at you
When I look at you
What I always see
Is the face of someone else
Who once belonged to me
Still I can hear him laugh
And even though that melody plays on
He's gone
When I look at you
He is standing there
I can almost breathe him in
Like summer in the air
Why do you smile his smile?
That heaven I'd forgotten eases through
In you
If you could look at me once more
With all the love you felt before
If you and I could disappear into the past
And find that love we knew
I'd never take my eyes away from you
When I look at you
He is touching me
I would reach for him
But who can hold a memory?
And love isn't everything
That moonlight on the bed will melt away
Some day!
Oh, you were once that someone
Who I followed like a star
Then suddenly you changed
And now I don't know who you are
Or could it be
That I never really knew you from the start?
Did I create a dream?
Was he a fantasy?
Even a memory is paradise for all the fools like me
Now remembering is all that I can do
Because I miss him so...
When I look at you

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 is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Magical

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.
