This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Looking back over the years
Of all the things I've always meant to say
But the words didn't come easily
So many times, through empty fears
Of all of the nights I tried to pick up the phone
So scared of who might be answering
You try to live your life from day to day (ooh)
But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away
'Cause the heart won't lie
Sometimes life gets in the way
But there's one thing that won't change (ooh)
I know I've tried
The heart won't lie
You can live your alibi
Who can see you're lost inside a foolish disguise (ooh)
The heart won't lie
Long after tonight
Will you still hear my voice through the radio?
Old desires make us act carelessly
Long after tonight, after the fire
After the scattered ashes fly
Through the four winds blown and gone
Will you come back to me?
You try to live your life from day to day (ooh)
But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away
'Cause the heart won't lie
Sometimes life gets in the way
But there's one thing that won't change (ooh)
I know I've tried
The heart won't lie
You can live your alibi
Who can see you're lost inside a foolish disguise (ooh)
The heart won't lie
The heart won't lie
Of all the things I've always meant to say
But the words didn't come easily
So many times, through empty fears
Of all of the nights I tried to pick up the phone
So scared of who might be answering
You try to live your life from day to day (ooh)
But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away
'Cause the heart won't lie
Sometimes life gets in the way
But there's one thing that won't change (ooh)
I know I've tried
The heart won't lie
You can live your alibi
Who can see you're lost inside a foolish disguise (ooh)
The heart won't lie
Long after tonight
Will you still hear my voice through the radio?
Old desires make us act carelessly
Long after tonight, after the fire
After the scattered ashes fly
Through the four winds blown and gone
Will you come back to me?
You try to live your life from day to day (ooh)
But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away
'Cause the heart won't lie
Sometimes life gets in the way
But there's one thing that won't change (ooh)
I know I've tried
The heart won't lie
You can live your alibi
Who can see you're lost inside a foolish disguise (ooh)
The heart won't lie
The heart won't lie

Gentle Hour
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,
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
To me, this song means that some things are matters of the heart, plain and simple. Others are matters of the head, and the two shouldn't be confused with one another.
