It's never been like this
It's never been like this, no never felt like this before

And it was just around sunrise when you crept out the door
Left me ragged and worn but left me,
Left me wanting more, more, more
Let's do this all again
Let's do this all again
Let's do it all again
Let's do this all again, do it all again sometime
Sometime

And do you remember Paris in the rain?
And it looks just like Christmas
But that's come and gone again
And the wild cats roaming in among the tombs and graves
And the flickering white neon of the cross and "Jesus Saves"
And the headlights like fires and the crowds in the streets
Children dressed in rags begging at our feet
And we crawled back to our room
With our heads spinning 'round
And we just lay in the dark
And didn't dare make a sound
And a sorrow soft as whispers stole into our hearts
Lay down between us and pushed us apart
And do you remember the silence scorched with pain?
A burning regret, let's never do this again
Again
Let's never do this again

    I love this song more than any of their other work. Vivid imagery about love gone wrong...

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,

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.
