Your old door's closed
To your room, to your house, to your home
And a new body keeps you warm
And I know what I said I'd feel
But I don't

    I adore this song. I love the guitar and natural sounds that begin and take up most of the song. It makes the few lyrics Holly includes much more meaningful and signifigant.

    Holly's songs are self-explanitory. I feel like this song has a dual meaning. On a literal sense, the person Holly speaks of has recently moved, and she's upset about the distance. But the song could also be Holly's interpretation of a break-up. The relationship she had with the other is the "closed door," and a "new body keeps you warm" is another person. Since Holly said she knew what she said she feel, she indicates that she broke up with the other person. But then she says that she doesn't feel that way, showing her regret with the breakup.

    I love this song because when you breakup with someone, and still love them, sometimes there really arent a lot of words you could say... all you can do is think about it, hence the mellow guitar and nature sounds that take up most of the song

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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 is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

Amazing
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.
