Easy listening music features simple, catchy melodies, soft, laid-back songs and occasionally rhythms suitable for couples dancing. The genre includes both instrumental forms (often played on light of tone instruments such as the Hammond Organ, "lush strings", or Ukulele); and vocal forms featuring pop singers, such as Barbra Streisand, Perry Como, Andy Williams, Jack Jones, Engelbert Humperdinck, Eydie Gorme, Barry Manilow, Harry Connick Jr., Frank Sinatra, Johnny Mathis, Bing Crosby, Tom Jones and Mel Tormé.
The easy listening radio format has been generally but not completely superseded by the "Lite AC" form of Adult contemporary music radio. Beautiful music is a subset of easy listening music, since, as a radio format, it had rigid standards for instrumentation (e.g., few or no saxophones) and restrictions on how many vocal pieces could be played in an hour. It is sometimes called Nostalgia music. Often, songs were re-arranged instrumental "cover" versions of popular songs of the 1960s and 1970s custom-produced for the radio format during its peak in popularity.
The term "easy listening" has sometimes been applied negatively in the years since it went out of fashion. It is similar to what is called "lounge" or "lounge core", but lounge music is much more jazz-oriented and dependent on musical improvisation than easy listening. Easy listening music is usually orchestrated by an arranger rather than improvised by a small ensemble.
Since easy listening music as such is rather unknown to the younger generation, the term "easy listening" is often incorrectly applied to other genres such as soft rock, soft pop, smooth jazz, or new age music. However this problem arises due to the fact that the actual definition is relatively broad. Easy listening music is also sometimes referred to as "mood music", "elevator music" (and in the UK as "lift music"). The term "Muzak" is occasionally used as a (usually derogatory) synonym for easy listening music as well, but that is erroneous as Muzak specifically refers to the music produced and programmed for public places by the Muzak Corporation, and is not a music genre in itself.

José González Lyrics
One night to be confused
One night to speed up truth
We had a promise made
Four hands and then away
Both under influence
We had divine scent
To know what to say
Mind is a razor blade
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no
One night of magic rush
The start a simple touch
One night to push and scream
And then relief
Ten days of perfect tunes
The colors red and blue
We had a promise made
We were in love
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
And you, you knew the hands of the devil
And you, kept us awake with wolfs teeth
Sharing different heartbeats
In one night
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough

One night to be confused
One night to speed up truth
We had a promise made
Four hands and then away
Both under influence
We had divine sense
To know what to say
Mind is a razor blade
Two minds were stimulated and engaged on a level they have never experienced with another. There was an openness and they both easily spoke their truth. They were confused, attracted to the connection, but not wanting to mess things up by taking it to the next level. They are alive, in tune, in the moment! Two very different people meeting minds.
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no
This part has different meanings throughout the song. At this point, the person is trying not to be tempted into lust/sin. He/she is trying to do the right thing, but knows that the temptation has exceeded and distracted too much, it is too late to pray for help!
One night of magic rush
The start, a simple touch
One is initiating the intimacy and slowly moving in and the writer is confused and not sure if he/she wants to mess things up and take it to the next level, but the moment is so magical, that it would seem wrong not to see where it goes.
One night to push and scream
And then relief
.They succumb to the pleasure and give up on trying to control and safe guard their emotions. They allow themselves to feel the intimacy and see each other on a deeper level. They open the window that leads to attachment.
Ten days of perfect tunes
The colors red and blue
We had a promise made
We were in love
They are in the high of exploring a new lover. They are hot and cold (red and blue) because within, they are still battling the need to control and protect themselves from the inevitable. They natural gravitate towards attachment and feelings to the other, while at the same time, battle against that closeness that can lead to pain.
And you
You knew the hand of the devil
And you
Kept us awake with wolves' teeth
Sharing different heartbeats
In one night
They began to trust each other and get familiar and open up... there was passionate, hot, Wild, primitive (wolves) sex the two very different beings shared. Both their hearts against each other: although they are having a wild night, their hearts are aligned and they know things will never be the same, they can't go back now, yet they are both scared and know they are walking the fine line that leads to hurt (hand of the devil)
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no
Nothing can distract from this euphoric state that is occupying this persons mind all the time...it is like an addiction/drug.
The affair is short, eventually one calls it because he/she can't deal with knowing the pain that could come later should they allow themselves to fall deeper.
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no
Now this means that not even God is a refuge for rest for this broken heart, nothing can stop the repeat and thoughts and the what could of/should of's.

? It's about two people who have a sordid affair for ten days, then never see each other again. It's a super nice song but it's not that deep.
