Did it pay the rent? did it bring her back? did it win
The race? was it worth the price of becoming his
Whore? and her yours but you just wanted her back. she
Is yours. she was only on loan. america forgot her
Face. but we sure as hell didn't forget yours. we did
Not win, but time is money and money is power. we did
Not win just like he planned so move along. so it's
True. he did do her just like daddy did. with
Deception in his pocket. he sold her. I'm the victim
Here. I've got this tragedy. I'm the victim here. I've
Got political power. you disgraced her memory one last
Time. and ten strikes for the one who told us all to
Fuck off. so what does it matter? you are still a
Bitter tool in bed with him, a tired whore. I'm the
Victim here. I'm getting paid. I'm the victim here.
I'm collecting. a celebration of politically correct's
Rebirth. a new liberal celebrity to save us all from
Ourselves and lead us to right. a celebration of
Politically correct's death.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
