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.
Well, I'm alone and I'm feeling lost
If I could only have it all
Then I'd be alright
'Cause I can't see who I really am
Through all the doubt that I'm living in
But I know it, yeah
Right before I hit the ground
Why am I losing sleep?
Yeah, feeling like I do
Why am I losing you?
And I'm feeling lost
There's a dark cloud over me
And I can't shake it off
I can't make a move to save myself
Thoughts keep spin' into my head
All the times that we never did
What we want to, yeah
Right before I hit the ground
It's just like a dream
Why am I losing sleep?
Yeah, feeling like I do
Why am I losing you?
And I'm feeling lost
The distance grows, I'm sinking down
And what I lost, it can't be found
Although I try
Can't find my way
Nothing is falling into place
Oh, no no
And I'm feeling lost
I feel, I feel, yeah, it's just like a dream
Why am I losing sleep?
Yeah, feeling like I do
Why am I losing you?
And I'm feeling lost
Why am I losing sleep?
Yeah, feeling like I do
Why am I losing you?
And I'm feeling lost
If I could only have it all
Then I'd be alright
'Cause I can't see who I really am
Through all the doubt that I'm living in
But I know it, yeah
Right before I hit the ground
Why am I losing sleep?
Yeah, feeling like I do
Why am I losing you?
And I'm feeling lost
There's a dark cloud over me
And I can't shake it off
I can't make a move to save myself
Thoughts keep spin' into my head
All the times that we never did
What we want to, yeah
Right before I hit the ground
It's just like a dream
Why am I losing sleep?
Yeah, feeling like I do
Why am I losing you?
And I'm feeling lost
The distance grows, I'm sinking down
And what I lost, it can't be found
Although I try
Can't find my way
Nothing is falling into place
Oh, no no
And I'm feeling lost
I feel, I feel, yeah, it's just like a dream
Why am I losing sleep?
Yeah, feeling like I do
Why am I losing you?
And I'm feeling lost
Why am I losing sleep?
Yeah, feeling like I do
Why am I losing you?
And I'm feeling lost

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.
Well i think that we all know that alex band is very sexy, very hot and that his voice is fantastic but this song is one of their best songs and i think that a lot of people can recognize themselves in this song and that they feel what this text is about and that's why the song is so amazing and that everybody has to know this song
