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”
So it's time for us to run
Grab your things, lock the doors and run
Home is such a dirty word
No, not a word you've heard
It's a lie
Wipe your prints and run
Fame
It means a lot to us
Wash your little hands all by yourself
Dawn, it breaks your back so run
Don't look back, no don't look back
Just run
Behind every lonely mind, there lies another mile
Just for you
You won't be coming home
Fame
It means a lot to us
Wash your little hands all by yourself
If it breaks your heart
It won't take your soul
Watch the country fade from the road
You gotta believe
Hold onto something strong that won't move
On your own, you set out for it but you're still free
You'll always, you'll always be free
I sold my soul for rock and roll and a case of beer
I think I would trade it all for another year
Hold on, hold on, hold on
oh, slow it down
Hold on, hold on, hold on, just slow it down
I don't believe, i don't believe in anything
I don't believe in anything except you my friends
Grab your things, lock the doors and run
Home is such a dirty word
No, not a word you've heard
It's a lie
Wipe your prints and run
Fame
It means a lot to us
Wash your little hands all by yourself
Dawn, it breaks your back so run
Don't look back, no don't look back
Just run
Behind every lonely mind, there lies another mile
Just for you
You won't be coming home
Fame
It means a lot to us
Wash your little hands all by yourself
If it breaks your heart
It won't take your soul
Watch the country fade from the road
You gotta believe
Hold onto something strong that won't move
On your own, you set out for it but you're still free
You'll always, you'll always be free
I sold my soul for rock and roll and a case of beer
I think I would trade it all for another year
Hold on, hold on, hold on
oh, slow it down
Hold on, hold on, hold on, just slow it down
I don't believe, i don't believe in anything
I don't believe in anything except you my friends

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

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,
Magical

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.
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.
At one point, Beulah announced that if this cd didn't do well, they were going to stop playing. I think this song is explaining their reasoning.
It is a great band and a great cd. Beulah shouldn't stop playing. Their lyrics and sound are too good for them to fizzle out so quickly. On a different note, check out The Broken Remotes... a different uprising band.
"I sold my soul for rock and roll and a case of beer I think I would trade it all for another year"
This is so sad.
