This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
When you wish upon a star
Dreams will take you very far, yeah
But when you wish upon a dream
Life ain't always what it seems, oh yeah
What'd you see, on nights so clear
In the sky, so very dear, yeah
You're a shining star
No matter who you are
Shining bright to see
What you could truly be
(What you could truly be)
Shining star come into view
To shine its watchful light on you, yeah
Give you strength to carry on, yeah
Girl, make your body big and strong, yeah
Born a man-child of the sun, yeah
Yeah, saw my work had just begun
Yeah, Found I had to stand alone, yeah
Well bless it now I've got my own, oh yeah
So if you find yourself in need
Why dontcha listen to these worlds of heed
Be a giant, or grain of sand
Words of wisdom - "Yes, I can"
You're a shining star
No matter who you are
Shining bright to see
What you can truly be
[Repeat 3x]
Shining star, for you to see
What your life can truly be
[Repeat 3x]
Dreams will take you very far, yeah
But when you wish upon a dream
Life ain't always what it seems, oh yeah
What'd you see, on nights so clear
In the sky, so very dear, yeah
You're a shining star
No matter who you are
Shining bright to see
What you could truly be
(What you could truly be)
Shining star come into view
To shine its watchful light on you, yeah
Give you strength to carry on, yeah
Girl, make your body big and strong, yeah
Born a man-child of the sun, yeah
Yeah, saw my work had just begun
Yeah, Found I had to stand alone, yeah
Well bless it now I've got my own, oh yeah
So if you find yourself in need
Why dontcha listen to these worlds of heed
Be a giant, or grain of sand
Words of wisdom - "Yes, I can"
You're a shining star
No matter who you are
Shining bright to see
What you can truly be
[Repeat 3x]
Shining star, for you to see
What your life can truly be
[Repeat 3x]

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
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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
Sweet, sweet song! very inspirational
