so now im calling your name
should not arrived
theyre just the same
both falling bright
you know its the snow
im not feeling cold
not feeling cold
now as you walk down the street
fire in your heart
fighting off the dark
the darkness has spread
now you see its dead
somehow its gone
somehow its gone
faces in cold winter rain
dying of shame
knew its not right,
its only time
you'll know when its gone
its coming undone
its coming undone
now with this contest youve planned
me in the sand
and you with that man
taking your hand
i saw her tonight
shes sleeping alright,
shes sleeping alright!
and faded away
built over days
your head filled with pain
thoughts of a man
arms of a man
his moving hands
weighing her down
trying not to drown
trying to stand
reaching for land
burning her plans
my head in my hands
and losing my mind
while im kissing my wife
its all just the same
ill call out your name

    I don't know why, but I find this song to be so very very sad.

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,

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.
