Be My Rescue

The Apathy Eulogy

in the fast lane doing 90
miles behind me and miles ahead
it's been raining on the pavement
on my heart and in my head

it's kind of funny how they ignore me
no one heard the words i just said
in the driveway on this dark day
close my eyes so my heart forgets

you can be my rescue when I need an outlet from what's bringing me down
I will stand by everything I said to bring us to where we are now

all this driving isn't easing anything I thought it would
but I keep on driving
I'm avoiding finding peace in the place I should

the weather's frightful
I am spiteful
I'd give it up if only
if only I could
finally home and nothing has changed
nothing here seems right after all

you can be my rescue when I need an outlet from what's bringing me down
I will stand by everything I said to bring us to where we are now

    Love this song. I'm pretty much addicted to TAE now.

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.

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,

Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
