Thirty hour drive from home
Think I'd feel so alone, that couldn't be less true
Family traveling by my side
Lifeline friends we can't deny
See the world with you

[Chorus:]
Here today, gone tomorrow
We're saying our goodbyes
Drive away from the past
Don't be sad, don't feel sorrow
The memories in our hearts, I won't forget

An icy road with no remorse
A metal box drifting off course is taking everything
I can't believe we lost you
I can't feel any worse now
This must be a dream
When will someone wake me?

[Chorus]

I won't forget
(It's in our hearts, it's in our hearts)
I won't forget

All my life, I've never felt so strong as when we're all together
All my days, I've never felt so powerless when you were taken away
There's no one in this world with so much love and so much passion
We'll say goodbye, but we won't forget the liberty and fortitude

[Chorus]

I won't forget
(It's in our hearts, it's in our hearts)
I won't forget
(It's in our hearts, it's in our hearts)
I won't forget
(It's in our hearts, it's in our hearts)
I won't forget

    Sorry to let you down - but this song is not about John Beatz. The song is written about Shane and Neil's family members whom they lost while on tour last year. If I remember right - it was Shane's grandfather and Neil's cousin.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

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”

Gentle Hour
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,
