We've come a long long way together,
through the hard times and the good,
I have to celebrate you baby,
I have to praise you like I should

you're so rare,
so fine,
I'm so glad your mine,
you're so rare,
so fine,
I'm so glad your mine

you make me glad I'm a man,
cause your a feeling something real,
and anytime I know your near,
I'm going to please you every way I can

you're so rare,
man you're so fine,
I'm so glad your mine,
you're so rare,
so fine

you've cleared the questions from my mind,
I was afraid to say I love you,
afraid to take and too eager to give,
you helped me deal with what I'm feeling,
with why and how I want to live,

you're so rare,
man you're so fine,
I'm so glad your mine,
you're so very rare,
and so fine,
Show her that your mine

I have to praise you when you hold me,
when you work your way around,
ain't a part of me left over,
that your sweet love ain't found,
you make my (my) moan turn to whisper,
you make my whisper turn to call,
you make me scream,
and scream that I love ya,
when you (when you) make me rise and fall

you're so rare,
so fine,
and you know I'm so very glad your mine,
you're so rare,
so fine, yeah
and we can work together baby,

Yeah and you're so fine,
And we can work together baby,
to see it, all come true

cause your so rare,
and your so fine,
and lord knows You're so very glad your mine,
we've come a we come a long long way together,
through the hard times and the good

I'm going to take this day to celebrate you girl,
cause I have to stop and praise you like I should

take yo praise, your so rare,
take yo praise, your so fine,
I have to praise you when you're holding me,

You're so rare, you're so rare
So glad your mine,
Take yo praise, you're so fine,
You make me, glad I'm a man,
And you know I'm so glad your mine

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
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,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
