(You know what they say about these dudes? They all got rythm)

[chorus]
Another day, another day goes by
Sitten round the house hangin out ge'n high
Another day, another day is passed
P-Town Ballers we was built to last
Another day, another day goes by
Sitten round the house hangin out ge'n high
Another day, another day is passed
You know the P-Town Ballers we was built to last

[Richter]
Now everybody come and gather around
It's story tellin time bout a kid from P-Town
Another troubled youth smokin herb in the sub-urbs
We used to shoot a little hoop and kick flip curbs
Wake up then something happenen here
It just wasn't too clear, He was liven confused
Used to break all the rules, used to eat all the blues
He was actin a fool, it was all bad news
Until one day he opened his eyes, saw a light as a gift and began to fly
Spreadin his wings soarin high in the sky, wanted to see 105
No he didn't wanna die
Lifes crazy these days so don't flip
There is better days ahead, this is just a field trip
That's what I learned that's just the ways it is
'cause at the end of that day yo I was that kid

[chorus]

[Dloc]
Now the P-Town Ballers started way back in the day
It was me Johnny Richter, Daddy X and the homies say
1995 for me to be exact, makin demo tapes, playin shows at the shack
Kottonmouth Klick slash P- Town bizzle
D dash L-O-see oh shizzle
Pakelika big Pak, that's my dawg was up?
DJ Bobby be's an army for life, I love ya 'cause
Remember, damn I can still remember sleepin on the couch, runnin ova to Lou's house
Tryin to get some food be'cause I had nothin to eat, I never had no smoke, I never got no sleep
I was always on the creep, tryin to make a quick puff
Broke without money, life really sucks
So I hooked up with a sick-ass trigger went all out
Life is really short, shouldn't be so rough (rough)

[chorus]

[Daddy X]
?Another day blowin endo standin? by the window, ya
Just tryin to find out which way the wind blows
Its hard to breathe when your blowing out red smoke, ya
One thing I know is one thing I do know

[Daddy X]
Skateboardin all day till the sun went down playin punk rock music and these hip hop sounds
Then the band starts saggin we was havin some fun
We had backyard parties, where we knew everyone
Richter had a nitrous tank and a keg on tap
He has the whole damn city inked on his back
And we laughin, 'cause this shit really happened
We said we never never ever make it by rapping
Dloc, you never know how you say it
I was 3 feet away from X pushing up daisys

[chorus 2x]

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.

Mountain Song
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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
