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.
It's gonna be me baby
It's gonna be you baby
Time, I have been patient for so long
How can I pretend to be so strong?
Looking at you baby,
Feeling it too baby,
If I'm asking you to hold me tight
Then it's gonna be all night
[Chorus]
It's gonna be love
It's gonna be great
It's gonna be more then I can take
It's gonna be free
It's gonna be real
It's gonna change everything I feel
It's gonna be sad
It's gonna be true
It's gonna be me baby
It's gonna be you baby
It's gonna be it's gonna be love
Time, am I restless or a fool
How can you pretend to be so cruel?
Maybe it's me baby,
Maybe it's you baby,
Maybe it's everything we're been dreaming of
We've waited long enough
[Chorus]
The sooner you let two hearts beat together
The sooner you know this love is forever
It's gonna be love
Love needs time now or never
Its gonna be love
[backup singers] you really got to believe
[both] it's gonna be strong enough
[Chorus]
It's gonna be love
It's gonna be sad
It's gonna be true
It's gonna be me baby,
It's gonna be you baby
It's gonna be me baby
It's gonna be you
It's gonna be real
It's gonna be love
It's gonna be you baby
Time, I have been patient for so long
How can I pretend to be so strong?
Looking at you baby,
Feeling it too baby,
If I'm asking you to hold me tight
Then it's gonna be all night
[Chorus]
It's gonna be love
It's gonna be great
It's gonna be more then I can take
It's gonna be free
It's gonna be real
It's gonna change everything I feel
It's gonna be sad
It's gonna be true
It's gonna be me baby
It's gonna be you baby
It's gonna be it's gonna be love
Time, am I restless or a fool
How can you pretend to be so cruel?
Maybe it's me baby,
Maybe it's you baby,
Maybe it's everything we're been dreaming of
We've waited long enough
[Chorus]
The sooner you let two hearts beat together
The sooner you know this love is forever
It's gonna be love
Love needs time now or never
Its gonna be love
[backup singers] you really got to believe
[both] it's gonna be strong enough
[Chorus]
It's gonna be love
It's gonna be sad
It's gonna be true
It's gonna be me baby,
It's gonna be you baby
It's gonna be me baby
It's gonna be you
It's gonna be real
It's gonna be love

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.
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
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.

This song is great, it describes the way you feel when you are first starting a relationship and are optimistic. I wish it could stay like this forever. It also gives you something to anticipate while you are waiting to meet someone.
