Crazy gnome, crazy gnome
Crazy gnome, crazy gnome
Crazy gnome, crazy gnome
This song is called "Crazy Gnome"
Crazy gnome, crazy gnome

Ok, everyone, there's a crazy gnome out in the audience
Say "crazy gnome" when the time g . . .

Crazy gnome, crazy gnome

Crazy gnome, crazy gnome
Crazy gnome, crazy gno . . .

Crazy gnome, crazy gnome
Crazy gnome, crazy gnome
Crazy gnome, crazy gnome
Crazy gnome, crazy gnome

Ok, we got any gnomes out there?
Do we got any crazy gnomes out there?

Crazy gnome was walking through the desert
It was dry and got nothing but the lepers
And I was beating out their blood and pus
And all their scabs are know what do, what do
What do you want with me
Crazy gnome on a fucking Halloween

Crazy gnome, crazy gnome
Crazy gnome
And he’ll go in your home
He won’t be here when you’re walking down
But crazy gnome
He doesn’t care about your hat
If he’s going off all inside
If you’re getting yourself a new ride
Or moving away from your college or parents
Or moving away from being a sea monkey, that’s great
Crazy gnome knows what you’re saying
Crazy gnome, he was awake all day
And when he went outside at quarter past ten
Crazy gnome, he started eating raw chicken
And the things you want, the things you do
The crazy gnome wants a belt whooping
You’re crazy
Crazy gnome, crazy gnome
Crazy gnome
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!

Well crazy gnome
He has a wavy cap
Went to school and then he got home from gym
He felt wawawawawawa I don’t understand
I guess he made my jacket my own

Gnome, crazy gnome
Crazy gnome, crazy

Cheering throughout portion below. This is just Isaac rambling about the gnome. He isn’t singing the bottom part.

Every year crazy gnome comes around
And he looks at all your stuff and he laughs at you
Crazy gnome is no one’s friend
If you see crazy gnome near your house
Feel self-conscious
Say, “He’s laughing at you and your stuff”
I saw crazy gnome inside my house twice this year
I didn’t leave my house for a week each time
My stuff was violated by the crazy gnome
You probably don’t even know him when you see him
“Oh, it’s just that weird little mailman”
Crazy gnome, crazy gnome
In your house, looking through your home
And he’s laughing at your stuff
Crazy gnome

    "Wavy Caps" are a nickname for Psilocybe cyanescens, a variety of psychedelic mushroom commonly found in the PNW in late summer and fall. Mushrooms and gnomes have long been associated in folklore and drug-use circles.

    Tripping on mushrooms for Halloween (when P. Cyans are fruiting) is a rite of passage for many psychonauts. Psychedelics are non-addictive and many casual users only imbibe once or twice a year.

    I believe that the "Crazy Gnome" is Isaac under the influence of psychedelic mushrooms, stripped of ego and re-experiencing once familiar surroundings.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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”

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,

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
