This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I saw a letter lying on tha floor.
I couldn't help but look inside.
Thought it was something you must've left
Left there for me to find.
All the words were on that page.
All my dreams came true that day
I found,
Your letter
Your letter
It said you loved me but you didn't know the words to say
It said you never knew that you could ever feel this way.
It said you only wished someday that I would feel the same.
In your letter,
Your letter.
I guess it just never occurred to me
That you would feel the way I do.
You kept the sweetest secret from my heart.
You kept those feelings in
No you never showed a sign.
Give me proof to what I find
Inside your letter.
Your letter.
It said you loved me but you didn't know the words to say.
It said you never knew that you could ever feel this way.
It said you only wished someday that I would feel the same.
In your letter,
Your letter.
I was so happy that I almost cried.
To think that you could think of me that way.
It's like it's led my sweetest dream,
And may that dream come true,
I would be with you
Always
I saw a name I didn't recognize.
I felt the tears gone to my eyes.
Seeing that the love that you've been longing for,
Was another love not mine.
No you never showed a sign,
But it was right there in the light,
Inside your letter,
You letter.
It said you loved him but you didn't know the words to say.
It said you never knew that you could ever feel this way.
It said you only wished someday that he would feel the same.
In your letter,
Your letter.
I saw a letter lying on tha floor,
I found your letter
It said
I couldn't help but look inside.
Thought it was something you must've left
Left there for me to find.
All the words were on that page.
All my dreams came true that day
I found,
Your letter
Your letter
It said you loved me but you didn't know the words to say

That you would feel the way I do.
You kept the sweetest secret from my heart.
You kept those feelings in
No you never showed a sign.
Give me proof to what I find
Inside your letter.

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,

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
this song is so beautifully sad...
