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.
I give her all my love
That's all I do
And if you saw my love
You'd love her too
I love her
She gives my everything
And tenderly
The kiss my lover brings
She brings to me
And I love her
A love like ours
Could never die
As long as I
Have you near me
Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her
Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her
That's all I do
And if you saw my love
You'd love her too
I love her
She gives my everything
And tenderly
The kiss my lover brings
She brings to me
And I love her
A love like ours
Could never die
As long as I
Have you near me
Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her
Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her

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,
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
i sung this song to my ex-wife when we got married. she didn't like the beatles. she liked lynard skynard and she wanted me to sing to her sweet home alabama. thats the reason why i divorced her ass ! cause she liked lynard skynard over the beatles. great song !
Wait a minute!!!! d d d did she not tell you that in the first place? That,s sooooo unfair!!
@xl5ron lol
@xl5ron you married a redneck
I truly don't understand how the Beatles write so many fantastic songs, let alone love songs. This song reminds me of being younger....though I am only 19 now. It's just another example of how great the Beatles and older music in general is , even though much of it is very simple musically and lyrically.
A great love song from their early years. Paul definately was the best writer for the love songs; at least in the beginning.
despite the lyrics mostly happy tone, there is still something positively melencholy about this song, especially with the line "Bright are the stars that shine/Dark is the sky" Does this mean that their love is the light in a world that is otherwise black and despairing?
This song was playing the second time I rolled a car. As I struggled to get myself out through the broken passenger side window, that was now directly above me, I couldn't help but sing along. My favorite song on "A Hard Day's Night."
These lyrics aren't exactly correct... The line that says "And I love" should be "And I love her."
born to run, I notice the same melancholy tone to the song as you. It's something that is really hard to explain because the song is just so lovely. It is like "I'll Follow the Sun," but less so. Only Paul could write such a song...
Paul wrote this song after hearing criticism that all the Beatles did was "Yeah Yeah Yeah" music. Jose' Ramirez guitars gave classical guitars to all the Beatles, and George Harrison plays his on the recording and in "Hard Day's Night."
A simple song, yet so bold and easily one of the best love songs out there.
I love this song.... it's just so wonderful... :D
THIS SONG WAS WRITTEN FOR JANE ASHER,PAULS FIANCE,BEFORE HE MET LINDA EASTMAN(MCARTNEY)BY PAUL,I LIKE IT ITS A BALLAD ABOUT LOVE-THATS ALL YOU NEED.
