This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
The nurse should not be the one who puts salt in your wounds
But it´s always with trust that the poison is fed with a spoon
When you´re helpless with no one to turn to alone in your room
You would swear that the one who would care for you never would leave
She promised and said, "you will always be safe here with me"
But promises open the door to be broken to me
No I´m never, no I´m never, no I´m never gonna let you down now
No I´m never, no I´m never, no I´m never gonna let you down
No I´m never, no I´m never, no I´m never gonna let you down now
No I´m never, no I´m never, no I´m never gonna let you down
The maid that you've hired could never conspire to kill
She´s to mother, not quietly smother you when you´re most ill
The one that you´re trusting suspiciously dusting the sill
No I´m never, no I´m never, no I´m never gonna let you down now
No I´m never, no I´m never, no I´m never gonna let you down
No I´m never, no I´m never, no I´m never gonna let you down now
No I´m never, no I´m never, no I´m never gonna let you down
But it´s always with trust that the poison is fed with a spoon
When you´re helpless with no one to turn to alone in your room
You would swear that the one who would care for you never would leave
She promised and said, "you will always be safe here with me"
But promises open the door to be broken to me
No I´m never, no I´m never, no I´m never gonna let you down now
No I´m never, no I´m never, no I´m never gonna let you down
No I´m never, no I´m never, no I´m never gonna let you down now
No I´m never, no I´m never, no I´m never gonna let you down
The maid that you've hired could never conspire to kill
She´s to mother, not quietly smother you when you´re most ill
The one that you´re trusting suspiciously dusting the sill
No I´m never, no I´m never, no I´m never gonna let you down now
No I´m never, no I´m never, no I´m never gonna let you down
No I´m never, no I´m never, no I´m never gonna let you down now
No I´m never, no I´m never, no I´m never gonna let you down

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
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,
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
It's interesting -- he recently broke up with Renee Zellweiger (sp?) who played the title character in Nurse Betty. It might or might not be a coincidence. It's a great, creepy song about betrayal.
