Walking by the river I
Reach my hands to cup the sky
Run down my arms a bitter blue
Turn to red and the gashes grew

The river taste me
I'm so much more than I have ever been
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Take this my arms
Take this my eyes
Take this my mouth
And all this seems to be
Completely true
Oh, oh, oh, oh...yeah

Walking by the river I
Reach my hands to cup the sky
Run down my arms a bitter blue
Turn to red and the gashes grew

The river taste me
I'm so much more than I have ever been
oh, oh, oh

    Its about heroin addiction and suicide. He's said it himself. (and no its not about DAVE's addiction, nor is it HIS idea of suicide)

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,

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
