Look into these eyes of mine and take away my pain
Fall into my arms, tonight, let the world around us fade
The rain will fall, our hearts will break
But still I will be here beside you, right beside you...

When the world is against you
I will protect you
Darling we'll be an army of two
When your life's going wrong
Our love will be strong
Darling we'll be, an army of two

When the burdens of the world are on me
And people seem unkind
I just need to be beside you
You give me peace of mind
And when I fail to be everything
I tell you I will be
I know in your eyes I'll find
Forgiveness for me

The rain will fall, our hearts will break
But still I will be here beside you, right beside you...

When the world is against you
I will protect you
Darling we'll be an army of two
When your life's going wrong
Our love will be strong
Darling we'll be, an army of two

When the world is against you
I will protect you
Darling we'll be an army of two
When your life's going wrong
Our love will be strong
Darling we'll be, an army of two

Oh forgiveness and you give me completeness
In everything you do and I know when I'm lost in this desperate world, you're my refuge
I want to fall down at your feet
Walk beside you in the street, be proud that you
Are here with me, in front of everyone

When the world is against you
I will protect you
Darling we'll be an army of two
When your life's going wrong
Our love will be strong
Darling we'll be, an army of two

When the world is against you
I will protect you
Darling we'll be an army of two
When your life's going wrong
Our love will be strong
Darling we'll be, an army of two

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,

Plastic Bag
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.
