In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Quand tu, quand tu me prends dans tes bras
Quand je regarde dans tes yeux
Je vois que Dieu existe
C'est pas dur d'y croire
Antes de conocerte el mundo era plano
Aunque lo discuta usted Señor Galilei
Y me cansé de besar ranas en vano
Pero el príncipe azul
Jamás lo encontré
Y así llegaste tú
Devolviéndome la fe
Sin poemas y sin flores
Con defectos con errores
Pero en pie
Y siento
Algo en ti algo entre los dos
Que me hace insistir
Cuando miro en tus pupilas sé que Dios no dejó de existir
Y siento
Algo en ti algo entre los dos
Que me hace insistir
Cuando miro en tus pupilas sé que Dios no dejó de existir
Tú lo haces vivir
Tú lo haces vivir
La vida es una colección de recuerdos
Pero a nada como tú recuerdo tan bien
Desde la redondez que tienen tus labios
Al olor de tu pelo
Al color de tu piel
No pienses que te irás y me voy a resignar
Eres lo mejor que me ha pasado
Entre lo mundano y lo sagrado
Y aún más
Y siento
Algo en ti algo entre los dos
Que me hace insistir
Cuando miro en tus pupilas sé que Dios no dejó de existir
Y siento
Algo en ti algo entre los dos
Que me hace insistir
Cuando miro en tus pupilas sé que Dios no dejó de existir
Tú lo haces vivir
Tú lo haces vivir
Quand tu, quand tu me prends dans tes bras
Quand je regarde dans tes yeux
Je vois que Dieu existe
C'est pas dur d'y croire
Y siento
Algo en ti
Y siento
Que algo en mí
Y siento algo en mí
Algo
Algo en mí
Quand je regarde dans tes yeux
Je vois que Dieu existe
C'est pas dur d'y croire
Antes de conocerte el mundo era plano
Aunque lo discuta usted Señor Galilei
Y me cansé de besar ranas en vano
Pero el príncipe azul
Jamás lo encontré
Y así llegaste tú
Devolviéndome la fe
Sin poemas y sin flores
Con defectos con errores
Pero en pie
Y siento
Algo en ti algo entre los dos
Que me hace insistir
Cuando miro en tus pupilas sé que Dios no dejó de existir
Y siento
Algo en ti algo entre los dos
Que me hace insistir
Cuando miro en tus pupilas sé que Dios no dejó de existir
Tú lo haces vivir
Tú lo haces vivir
La vida es una colección de recuerdos
Pero a nada como tú recuerdo tan bien
Desde la redondez que tienen tus labios
Al olor de tu pelo
Al color de tu piel
No pienses que te irás y me voy a resignar
Eres lo mejor que me ha pasado
Entre lo mundano y lo sagrado
Y aún más
Y siento
Algo en ti algo entre los dos
Que me hace insistir
Cuando miro en tus pupilas sé que Dios no dejó de existir
Y siento
Algo en ti algo entre los dos
Que me hace insistir
Cuando miro en tus pupilas sé que Dios no dejó de existir
Tú lo haces vivir
Tú lo haces vivir
Quand tu, quand tu me prends dans tes bras
Quand je regarde dans tes yeux
Je vois que Dieu existe
C'est pas dur d'y croire
Y siento
Algo en ti
Y siento
Que algo en mí
Y siento algo en mí
Algo
Algo en mí

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
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"
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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,

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.
This is one of the most beautiful and poignant songs I have ever heard. I think that it's about the person she loved dying and her remembering how much she loved him and how happy he made her.
this is such a beutiful song!!1 she is so in love with this guy she knows that he is not a prince charming but he is real and he loves her
I love this song... both the english and the spanish are good... usually I listen to the English just for the sake of understanding... I like the French in the beginning... but it's "dans te BRAS"- arms... not BAS. fairly insignificant...
the lyrics are just so amazing all the songs on this album are so beautifully written.. its so true when you love someone like u notice all the beautiful things about them.. like she said.. the shape of their lips.. the scent of their hair.. the color of their skin..
i remember a few weeks ago i was dancing with this guy who i've had a crush on for a very long time.. and we were holding hands and i noticed how beautiful and brown his skin was (we're both mexican and tanned) and i just thought it looked so beautiful together you know.. like to me that was perfect.. i don't know if i'm making sense.. but ya this song reminds me of situations like that one.. it's so relatable and real
