This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
They love you or they hate you
But they will never let you be
They'll thrill you or sedate you
But they will never let you see
In the evening sun
Amber evening sun
Encourage and derange you
Watch you walking scared alone
Despite intimidation
Pleased to watch you dance alone
In the evening sun
Amber evening sun
Go your separate way now
Someday you'll come back
And I'll be dreaming I was sunburned
I don't wanna break your heart in
Break your heart in two halves
Keep one half and give one half to me
I like the summer, miss the summer
Tell me, what'd you do? Nothing? Me, too
All actors, they're pretendin'
And singers, they will sometimes lie
Kids are always honest
'Cause they don't think they're ever gonna die
You're the prettiest, smartest captain of the team
I love you more than being seventeen
In the evening sun
Amber evening sun
In the evening sun
But they will never let you be
They'll thrill you or sedate you
But they will never let you see
In the evening sun
Amber evening sun
Encourage and derange you
Watch you walking scared alone
Despite intimidation
Pleased to watch you dance alone
In the evening sun
Amber evening sun
Go your separate way now
Someday you'll come back
And I'll be dreaming I was sunburned
I don't wanna break your heart in
Break your heart in two halves
Keep one half and give one half to me
I like the summer, miss the summer
Tell me, what'd you do? Nothing? Me, too
All actors, they're pretendin'
And singers, they will sometimes lie
Kids are always honest
'Cause they don't think they're ever gonna die
You're the prettiest, smartest captain of the team
I love you more than being seventeen
In the evening sun
Amber evening sun
In the evening sun

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.

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,

“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms.
“Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
This is probably the most musically advanced song I've heard Julian write. It's not necessarily my favorite...but the instrumental is just great, especially the interlude "Go your separate way now...Tell me what'd you do? Nothing? Me to." The bass, and the percussion really stand out to me.
