In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Me and Feadz on a mission
And we're starvin to fly
It's little Uffie of course
About to get buck wild
On this beat that you hear
It's a girl that you fear
And if you don't enjoy this shit,
You can get outta here
But yo one day you will see me
Beaking out in Miami
Doing X-rated shows
From Houston to St.Louis
Yo I'm a damn crazy brat
And i don't give a fuck
I got my man,my sound, my glass
And I'm ready to fuck
Iiii iiiii i i i I'm ready to fuck,I'm ready
ready I'm ready to Fuck fuck fuck fuck,
Im ready ready I'm ready to fuck fuck fuck Fuck,
Uffie Uffie Uffie Uffie Uffie
Of course, iiiiiIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim uffie of course,
I'm uffie of course
No I don't belong here
And I'm free as a cop
Cause my parents ain't near
I'm unable to stop
Yo not owned by one nation
I'm the child of the world
See I got frustrations,
They about to be heard
See a trick that looks shiny
And all the guys getting horney
But this shit is so corney
Bitch ain't got nothing on me
Yea I used to be like that
But I upgraded my scale
All these girls are so whack,
Now its first class I hail
First class first class first class I hail, miami I
hail I hail I Hail miamiI i i i i i i i hail first
class I hail
The people are looking
And the heads are turning
But what you see in the morning
Is that your coochie is burning
Yea you a pathetic whore,
Who always wanted more
But when he walks through the door,
Your knees drop to the floor
Now hoes got dreams aswell,
Tryin to make a pimp proud
It's a fantasy to sell
When your heads with the clouds
These ladies are pro actors
Got men thinking they above
But inside adding up factors
Thats why they get no love.
Tryin tryin tryin tryin to make a pimp proud,
Now hoes got
Dreams as well
trying to make a pimp proud,
Trying tryin tryin tryin
Tryin to make a pimp proud,
Hoes make a pimp make a pimp hoes
Make a pimp proud
And we're starvin to fly
It's little Uffie of course
About to get buck wild
On this beat that you hear
It's a girl that you fear
And if you don't enjoy this shit,
You can get outta here
But yo one day you will see me
Beaking out in Miami
Doing X-rated shows
From Houston to St.Louis
Yo I'm a damn crazy brat
And i don't give a fuck
I got my man,my sound, my glass
And I'm ready to fuck
Iiii iiiii i i i I'm ready to fuck,I'm ready

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
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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
This song is super.
