The days I've felt alone.
And the sea, it brings me back again.
So that I can see my wife.
And I can see my child.
Home, I'm home, it never changes,
Same old faces, same old places.

I stared into oblivion and found my home.
I stared into oblivion, into oblivion.

Find in me the home
That you have never known.
Find in us the faith.
The faith to bring you home.

I stared into oblivion and found my home.
I stared into oblivion and found my home.
I stared into oblivion, and found my own reflection there.
(Reflection there)

Home. Now that I'm coming home,
Will you be the same as when I saw you last?
Tell me how much time has passed?
Tell me how much time has passed?
Tell me how much time has passed?

I stared into oblivion (and found my home).
I stared into oblivion (and found my home).
I stared into oblivion (and found my home).
I stared into oblivion and found my own reflection there.

    I like this song. I was a big fan of what they were doing on 'Casually Dressed...' but that style has been growing stale for years and I don't mind this more paced, anthemic direction; clearly they do it well. And the video? Wow! I'm impressed that they got Bill Paxton to play the part of the lead singer. Rock on, Bill!

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

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.
