J'ai repeint les murs
Avec la confiture
J'ai mis une nouvelle nappe
En vraie fourrure d'animal
J'ai décoré de miettes le tapis du salon
Déchiré tes chaussettes découpé tes chaussons
Je m'suis rasée la tête et j'ai caché le chat
J'ai mis une k7 de meredith monk
J'ai ouvert la fenêtre
Et là j'ai pris froid
De mes deux mains violettes
Je t'ai pris par le bras

Tu vois, tu n't'en rendais même pas compte
Tu vois, je te dis ça comme ça
Tu vois, tu n't'en rendais même pas compte
Alors là j'ai fait tout ça pour toi lalalalalala

On m'a emmenée
On m'a interviewée
Une émission tv
On m'a vue dans le journal
Puis on m'a ramenée
Et je t'ai retrouvé
Je hurlais je chantais, on voyait mes amygdales
J'étais de bonne humeur
Je jouais du piano
J'ai mis une k7 de meredith monk
J'ai fait rev'nir le chat et il n'a plus bougé
Quand je me suis tournée tu te faisais les ongles

Tu vois, tu n't'en rendais même pas compte
Tu vois, je te dis ça comme ça
Tu vois, tu n't'en rendais même pas compte
Alors là j'ai fait tout ça pour toi lalalalalala

Je t'ai regardé
Voir si t'étais pas mort
Je t'ai touché
Tu respirais encore
Je t'ai fait à manger
Et tu as tout mangé
Tes yeux avaient sommeil
Alors tu t'es couché
J'ai fait venir un homme
Je l'ai mis sous ma dent
J'ai sorti ma k7 de meredith monk
On était tous les deux
Là dans l'appartement
Si tout avais changé
Je crois bien que j't'aimais

Tu vois, tu n't'en rendais même pas compte
Tu vois, je te dis ça comme ça
Ou vois, tu n't'en rendais même pas compte
Alors là j'ai fait tout ça pour toi lalalalalalaA

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
