The hardest thing in the world

Holland it don't please
I never wanted to leave
Searching for a perfect day
It never happens that way
Ahey hey hey

I'm sick and tired
It's so obscene
Will heaven help me be clean?
Searching for a perfect day
It never happens that way
Ahey hey hey

Cut away, I know no one wants you around

You never heard a word I said
It's seems simple to me
That if you knew you wouldn't say
It never happens that way
Ahey hey hey

And the impression I get
As the story unfurls
Is that you're the hardest thing in the world

Cut away, I know no one wants you around

What you feel might not be
It seems softer to me
I cannot climb to touch your spire
I'm getting higher and higher

Cut away, I know no one wants you around
The hardest thing in the world

    Might be about a girl who isn't interested despite the your best attempts.

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,

Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
