The sun starts to rise over the misty hillside
And the darkness of night fades away in sunlight
Lying next to me your eyelashes flutter and open slowly
As the garden you live in is bathed by soft daylight
I see only you and me

Among the sun's pale rays glistening you stop and turn to me
And look on curiously at the flower I'm holding
Where you to take in your hand, and draw it to your chest you'd see
The flower blossoms to match your beauty

Gardenia...my sweet darling, deep in your cherib's eyes I see
Everything I ever held dear to me
I'll take you somewhere new with me, and together we'll always be
Enfolded in my arms so gently...I'll never let go

Just like that day before I see this dream continuing
And from the forest in my mind, a new world slowly winds
I turn again to meet you and in this new garden, in your hand
The flowers blossom touched by your beauty

Gardenia...my sweet darling, deep in your cherib's eyes I see
Everything I ever held dear to me
I'll take you somewhere new with me, and together we'll always be
Enfolded in my arms so gently...I'll never let go

As the daybreak enfolds us, I whisper softly to you

I love you my darling, my Gardenia...

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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,

Head > Heels
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.

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.
