The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Sometimes I get tired of this me-first attitude
You are the one thing that keeps me smiling
That's why I'm always wishing hard for you
'Cause your life shines so bright
I don't feel no solitude
You are my first star at night
I'd be lost in space without you
And I'll never lose my faith in you
How will I ever get to heaven, if I do
Feels just so fine
When we touch the sky, me and you
This is my idea of heaven
Why can't it always be so good?
But it's alright, I know you're out there
Doing what you've gotta do
You are my soul satellite
I'd be lost in space without you
And I'll never lose my faith in you
How will I ever get to heaven, if I do
I'll never lose my faith in you
How will I ever get to heaven, if I do
I'll never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
You are the one thing that keeps me smiling
That's why I'm always wishing hard for you
'Cause your life shines so bright
I don't feel no solitude
You are my first star at night
I'd be lost in space without you
And I'll never lose my faith in you
How will I ever get to heaven, if I do
Feels just so fine
When we touch the sky, me and you
This is my idea of heaven
Why can't it always be so good?
But it's alright, I know you're out there
Doing what you've gotta do
You are my soul satellite
I'd be lost in space without you
And I'll never lose my faith in you
How will I ever get to heaven, if I do
I'll never lose my faith in you
How will I ever get to heaven, if I do
I'll never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
I think this song is about a loved one who is already in heaven.. Feels just so fine When we touch the sky me and you This is my idea of heaven Why can't it always be so good
But it's alright, I know you're out there Doing what you've gotta do You are my soul satellite I'd be lost in space without you ... a very beautiful song..
