He's in the back of your mind
All of the time
Learn to forget
Lovely forget
When I sit alone,
Think of what you said
Better off just friends
Better off just dead.
And the hardest thing I do
Is wake up with out you
When everything falls apart
The emptiness leaves a mark
And the hardest thing I do
Is wake up with out you
When everything falls apart
The emptiness leaves a mark.
He's in the back your mind
All of the time
Learn to forget
Lovely forget
When I sit alone
I think of what you said
Better off Just friends
Better off just dead
And the hardest thing I do
Is wake up with out
When everything falls apart
The emptiness leaves a mark.
And the hardest thing I do
Is wake up with out
When everything falls apart
The emptiness leaves a mark
All of the time
Learn to forget
Lovely forget
When I sit alone,
Think of what you said
Better off just friends
Better off just dead.
And the hardest thing I do
Is wake up with out you
When everything falls apart
The emptiness leaves a mark
And the hardest thing I do
Is wake up with out you
When everything falls apart
The emptiness leaves a mark.
He's in the back your mind
All of the time
Learn to forget
Lovely forget
When I sit alone
I think of what you said
Better off Just friends
Better off just dead
And the hardest thing I do
Is wake up with out
When everything falls apart
The emptiness leaves a mark.
And the hardest thing I do
Is wake up with out
When everything falls apart
The emptiness leaves a mark

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Gentle Hour

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.

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.
awww :'(
beautified song!
..it's my second fav keepsake song... just because it's like my love life! ..boy, is it depressing... =\
i love this song so much. i listen to it on repeat. the simplicity of it makes it even more appealing.
"he's in the back of your mind all of the time. learn to forget. love . leave. forget." I'm trying so hard to get over somebody right now, and this expresses so much of what I feel.
good good song.. talk about expressing emotion
its weird. i heard this song in my friends car, and thought it was aweasome, and forgot about it and the band. then my (other) friend said "allison, you would like keepsake" so i got onto songmeanings and looked up keepsake and just picked a song that sounded good (this one) and i was like.. "where have i heard this amazing song before?!" and it really is a fun, fun song. (by fun i mean excellent and not literally fun) anyhoo, its a very expressive song that i dont think anyone has trouble relating to.
i can really relate to this song. the first time i heard it i began to cry... thats how much it affected me. i just love it. you should see them live. they rock!
this song is so incredible. lately it seems that no matter what girl i find she always has another guy on her mind. and i don't know how many times ive been told we're better off just friends. and how many times i thought id be better off dead. it just describes my love life perfectly. 100%
most depressing song ever...
