This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Was losing all my friends.
Was losing them to drinking and to driving.
Was losing all my friends, but I got them back.
I am on the mend.
At least now I can say that I am trying.
And I hope you will forget things I still lack.
Yeah. Yeah.
Is it in you now,
To barely hear the truth that you have spoken?
Twisted up by knaves,
To make a trap for fools.
Is it in you now,
To watch the things you gave your life to broken?
And stoop and build them up with warn out tools.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. (Oh.)
Yeah.
Nothing gets so bad,
A whisper from your father couldn't fix it.
Your whisper's like a bridge, he's a river span.
Take all that you have,
And turn it into something you were missing.
Somebody threw that brick, shattered all your plans.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. (Oh.)
Yeah.
Time to get the seeds into the cold ground.
It takes a while to grow anything,
Before it's coming to the end, yeah.
Before you put my body in the cold ground,
Take some time to warm it with your hand,
Before it's coming to an end, yeah.
It's coming to an end, yeah.
It's coming to an end, yeah.
Do you miss the blend,
Colors she left in your black and white field?
Do you feel condemned just being there?
I am not your friend.
I am just a man who knows how to feel.
I am not your friend.
I'm not your lover.
I'm not your family.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. (Oh.)
Yeah.
Time to get the seeds into the cold ground.
It takes a while to grow anything,
Before it's coming to the end, yeah

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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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” 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.
OK so I only saw one comment above about this. And I'm so surprised no one else had seen this. About the story Secret Window, Secret Garden by Stephen King and the movie Secret Window its was based on being influential to this song. It DEFINITELY makes you see this song in a different light. It's still about a fresh start, but a more morbid one.
In the story the main character is accused of plagiarizing a story entitled "Sowing Season" by John Shooter. In the movie (I haven't read the book) There are many parallels but basically the twisted main character spirals downward throughout the movie to eventually merge with his alter-ego "John Shooter." Who kills his lawyer, dog, some other guy, and his ex-wife and her boyfriend. He then dumps the car with the lawyer and other dude into a river. HIs ex-wife and her boyfriend he buries in the "secret garden" where he grows corn on the soil they are decomposing in and eats it, copious amounts of it. After he does this he then has a "fresh" start and is unified and basically committed the perfect crime.
So some parallels are clearly obvious here. The progression of the song follows the movie.
In the beginning he was basically losing every one (especially his wife) that was close to him. He was the one drinking, she was the one driving away. He got his friends back in the form of John Shooter. He thought he was mending because he was getting over it and was holding onto a hope that his wife and him could still work out. That she could forget his problems.
Then he had to face a truth laying inside of him, JOhn Shooter. The excuse and alter ego he made to kill who he wanted to kill and in a way he could blame someone else. His brain had to face a dark truth, begin building a trap, and decide if he was ready to rebuild his life in this sordid way of essentially murdering people who were the cause of his suffering, each and every one, with tools from his tool shed, screwdrivers and shovels and a hatchet.
Then John shooter takes action, he kills the two people who could be responsible for finding out the the main character is behind it and dumps them in a river. John can "fix it" he is the cure-all father-like alter ego taking charge. He took everything he loved and owned and made it something he "missed" by burning down his old house. And it all started with a brick John Shooter threw through his window. A brick with a copy of "Sowing Season" tied around it.
Then after he kills his ex-wife and her boyfriend and plants them in the garden he plants his corn. It grows and covers over the earth where he put them. It's the end of what he accomplished. John Shooter is no longer and alter-ego but a whole part of him.
The last part is a question. Does he miss his ex-wife he killed? The only person that added color to his black and white field of ink (since he is a writer). OR is he content with what he did? the answer is he is not her friend, family, or lover anymore. He is complete, and knows how he feels. He could die happy.
Yeah.
