Sweet Beyond

The Nixons

In the end...I lay the flowers,
I lay the flowers down

I have bent my rules
That I have laid before me
Falling deeper still
Than I ever thought I would
and I would again

As we begin this journey,
Put your soul with mine
Connected from this moment
throughout life and death and time

I would show you the deepness
If there was a sea forever
I would bring you the planets
If there was a way

In the End...
If your life I should fail to save...
I'll lay the flowers on your grave

As the years surround us,
This will stay beautiful
Through the change of appearance,
Love remains

I would show you the vastness
If there was a sky never-ending
I would give you the sunlight
If there was a way

In the End...
(I will be here)
If your life I should fail to save...
I'll lay the flowers on you grave

I have felt what I never conceived
From here through sweeter beyond
Impossible for words to bring you understanding
I will be the one you'll see

In the End ...
(I will be here)
If your life I should fail to save
In the End ...
(I will be here)
If before me you should leave this place
I'll lay the flowers on your grave

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
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,

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
