Tu eras aquela que eu mais queria
Pra me dar algum conforto e companhia
Era só contigo que eu sonhava andar
Pra todo o lado e até quem sabe?
Talvez casar

Ai o que eu passei, só por te amar
A saliva que eu gastei para te mudar
Mas esse teu mundo era mais forte do que eu
E nem com a força da música ele se moveu

Mesmo sabendo que não gostavas
Empenhei o meu anel de rubi
Para te levar ao concerto
Que havia no Rivoli

Era só a ti que eu mais queria
Ao meu lado no concerto nesse dia
Juntos no escuro de mão dada a ouvir
Aquela música maluca sempre a subir

Mas tu não ficaste nem meia hora
Não fizeste um esforço pra gostar e foste embora
Contigo aprendi uma grande lição
Não se ama alguém que não ouve a mesma canção

Mesmo sabendo que não gostavas
Empenhei o meu anel de rubi
Para te levar ao concerto
Que havia no Rivoli

Foi nesse dia que percebi
Nada mais por nós havia a fazer
A minha paixão por ti era um lume
Que não tinha mais lenha por onde arder

Mesmo sabendo que não gostavas
Empenhei o meu anel de rubi
Para te levar ao concerto
Que havia no Rivoli

Little Feat
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,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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