Well there's far too many questions to ask
To answer all of them tonight
For I wear, too many masks
To tell if any of them are wrong or right
And confusion casts a shadow upon me
Like a great big cloud in the sky
And now I pray for rain
'Cause it's been so long since I let myself cry

For so long, I've sang this sad ole song
And it feels like my time is up
For she came and landed in my arms
And she filled my half empty cup
Yes she filled my half empty cup

There you are
Right in front of me
A brand new day
Sunrise over sea
No longer
My cup half empty
'Cause there you are
You and your mum in front of me
In front of me

And now I look up above me
And I thank that great old God in the sky
For telling me my cup ain't half empty
I took my little girl to show me why

For so long, I've sang this sad ole song
And it feels like my time is up
For she came and landed in my arms
And she filled my half empty cup
Yes she filled my half empty cup

There you are
Right in front of me
A brand new day
Sunrise over sea
No longer
My cup half empty
'Cause there you are
You and your mum in front of me

Your peaches and cream to me
You both are peaches and cream to me

Peaches and cream to me
You and your mum in front of me

Your peaches and a cream oh

Yeah I, love you
All I know is
All I know that I
I Love you
That I love you
All I know is
All I know
And I love you
Yeah I, love you, yeah

    Yeah, when I saw them he said the song's about his wife and daughter. They closed their set with this, and broke out the bongo drum solo. It was glorious.

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.

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.
