High in the sky, I see you falling

Why do you think that I will catch you?

Past the clouds a burning fire

Hear it sing like a choir

You gave much more than you should have

My first words are your last rites

Deep within my vacant mind

Sits the thought,

"Maybe there is hope..."



Rays of light pour from my eyes and

Baptize all that lay beneath me

Everything that I have gained is

Nothing next to all I've lost

I surrender to the blackness

Hoping, praying for acceptance

Deep within my vacant mind

Sits the thought,

"Maybe there is hope..."



No sins, yet forsaken

When will I awaken...

This truth I won't swallow:

I have become hollow

I'll wait for tomorrow

Where there is no sorrow

I see a light in the darkness

I weep as that light goes out



Neverending pain

Driving me insane

No more, I can't take it

Silent cries

Bloodshot eyes

I'll defy you til I fall

Final living breath

Welcomed into death

Mercy please, I'll beg for mercy

Now alone

On my own

All I wanted was salvation



Lost and staring at the ground I

Realize: "I am nothing"

Tears are streaming down my face and

Seeping deep into my wounds

I am beaten, I am battered

Dripping blood, my wings are tattered

Broken, I fall to my knees and

Cry to the sky,

"Heaven, take me home"

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,

Page
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.
