Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
The wind blew some luck in my direction
I caught it in my hands today
I finally made a tricky French connection
You winked and gave me your O.K.
I'll take you on a trip beside the ocean
And drop the top at Chesapeake Bay
Ain't nothing like the sky to dose a potion
The moon'll send you on your way
Moonlight feels right
Moonlight feels right
We'll lay back and observe the constellations
And watch the moon smilin' bright
I'll play the radio on southern stations
'Cause southern belles are hell at night
You say you came to Baltimore from Ole Miss
Class of seven-four, gold ring
The eastern moon looks ready for a wet kiss
To make the tide rise again
Moonlight feels right
Moonlight feels right
We'll see the sun come up on Sunday morning
And watch it fade the moon away
I guess you know I'm giving you a warning
'Cause me and moon are itching to play
I'll take you on a trip beside the ocean
And drop the top at Chesapeake Bay
Ain't nothin' like the sky to dose a potion
The moon'll send you on your way
Moonlight feels right
Moonlight feels right
Moonlight feels right
Moonlight feels right
I caught it in my hands today
I finally made a tricky French connection
You winked and gave me your O.K.
I'll take you on a trip beside the ocean
And drop the top at Chesapeake Bay
Ain't nothing like the sky to dose a potion
The moon'll send you on your way
Moonlight feels right
Moonlight feels right
We'll lay back and observe the constellations
And watch the moon smilin' bright
I'll play the radio on southern stations
'Cause southern belles are hell at night
You say you came to Baltimore from Ole Miss
Class of seven-four, gold ring
The eastern moon looks ready for a wet kiss
To make the tide rise again
Moonlight feels right
Moonlight feels right
We'll see the sun come up on Sunday morning
And watch it fade the moon away
I guess you know I'm giving you a warning
'Cause me and moon are itching to play
I'll take you on a trip beside the ocean
And drop the top at Chesapeake Bay
Ain't nothin' like the sky to dose a potion
The moon'll send you on your way
Moonlight feels right
Moonlight feels right
Moonlight feels right
Moonlight feels right

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
A cool, relaxing evening beach breeze of a song, one guaranteed to make us kids smile and kick back when it came on the radio. While our parents drove in the front seat, my brother, sister and I loved hearing this tune's trademark seesawing bass intro start on WQXI-FM. It was a fave of ours on road trip radio, too.
As a kid, I had no idea what the lyrics were about, except that they involved the moon. I was far too entranced with that marimba middle eight: surely the best vibraphone solo performance in pop music history!
Listening to "Moonlight Feels Right" as an adult, I'm both charmed and skeeved by the fact the song is clearly about a booty call - and its protagonist is sleazy. His comeon wouldn't get far with me, a woman.
The lead singer is hard at work trying to seduce a young college girl he met (in a bar likely), and charms her by sounding like he knows about and likes her football team - because yeah, most of us girls are huuuuge football fans - then segues her into his car, drives down chilly-even-in-summer Chesapeake Bay to try to get her panties off on the beach, under the moon. But she's hip: he says she "winked and gave" him her "okay".
Basically the same skeevy pedophilic yacht pop Steely Dan's been so good at recently (witness how 9/10 of their tracks on "Two Against Nature" are about being old guys chasing young - VERY young, as in teen - tail). It's funny though how if these gruesome lechs cloud it in an awesome groove, that makes it alright.
And this song, despite its off-putting, sleaze-factor subject matter, feels right. Just like the moon, eh?
I think you are misinterpreting some of the lyrics. The song came out in 1976...the girl in the song was class of '74 at Ole Miss, so that makes her about 24 years old. Hardly "pedophilic". The guy who wrote the song was about the same age or not too much older at the time. Not sure why you think he "likes her football team".either.
@heatherfer So, she was at least 21 in the song when 18 was the age back then. Guess you never got any. <br /> :The wind blew some luck in my direction<br /> I caught it in my hands today<br /> I finally made a tricky French connection<br /> You winked and gave me your o.k.<br /> <br /> It was a lot more fun way back when.<br /> <br /> --drugs for sex. Whatever. Shut Up, MEG!
@heatherfer Well, perhaps it's because I'm a male, but I have NEVER interpreted it that way. Yes, it is most definitely about a guy trying to woo a college girl from the South, but I'm not sure where you pulled the "sleazy, skeevy pedophilic" vibes from, but sounds like there's some issues going on there! Perhaps it would be best if the artist himself set the record straight.....<br /> chattanoogaradiotv.com/general/a-summer-song-moonlight-feels-right/
@heatherfer Holy sha-moley lady! You don’t just have issues, you’ve got the complete subscription! I can only imagine how you review meatloaf and Paradise by the dashboard lights, or kid Creole and the coconuts no more casual sex! Your train of thought is loaded with toxic sludge. Melodically and rhythmically this is beautiful. Lyrically it’s about a couple of consenting adults engaged in harmless pleasure. Anything beyond that is gross speculation based on projection of personal experience. I hope whatever unpleasantness you survived has healed and you’ve been able to find the good stuff again.<br /> Do you make some good points I agree with in your passive aggressive evaluation; especially the unusual instrument solo.
