Hello friend, it's been too long and every town sings the same sad song.
Without you here, this hotel year
will sure slow down, with so much left to hear.

Let's take back down that highway now
Blast stereo's loud
Let's take back down that highway now

The finish line is almost here
And someone softly whispers in my ear
"Times like these, are memories,
to hold deep down inside of you and me"

Let's take back down that highway now
Blast stereo's loud
Let's take back down that highway now

I'm not leaving you
I'm not leaving
I'm not leaving you
(Goodbye friend, it won't be long)
I'm not leaving
(And until then we'll sing the same sad song)

(Same sad song)

Let's take back down that highway now
Blast stereo's loud
Let's take back down that highway now

    I love this song to death. I think that it is a really awesome song. I just got fiished Dling this song today around Noon and so fare it's like one of my all time favortie songs that they've written and sang. I am totally for Yellowcard ad I think that one day they're gonna become really and extremly popular. I think anyone that knows of this band would agree with me. Yellowcard just has one of those sounds to their band and songs that really captures peoples attention and it makes people want more of the band. There is not one person, well yah besides my mom, that doesnt like this band that I know of but she doesnt really count. And also wut is so totally kool is that every1 one who knows of this band that I know of Yellowcard is like their all time favorite band or at least they're one of thier favorites. well all i really got to say in relation to this song is I think that it is very good and that every1 should go DLed it on KaZaA rite now if you don't have their EP in which I want. Well on last note than I love Yellowcard!:) ~aMbEr*

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,

Amazing
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
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.
