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 senorita took off her bobby socks
She said she's gonna wear a skirt that shocks
She's pulling out all the stops
To get her Randolph back again
Meanwhile Randolph, he's back at the ranch
He's getting ready for tonight's song and dance
He's doesn't know he doesn't stand a chance
His last affair will be his last romance
The senorita will be there waiting
Don't go my Randolph slow tango with me
Underneath the Latin moonlight
The danced and seen a falling star in flight
To the strum of guitars she held him tight
She wants her Randolph back again
Meanwhile it's worthwhile for Randolph to wait
'Till he gets the nerve then he won't hesitate
He doesn't know but he's just bit the bait
He just asked if he could make a date
The senorita will be there waiting
Don't go my Randolph slow tango with me
The senorita's heart is in love
She wearing white tonight, looks as pure as a dove
She's thanking God and all the heavenly stars above
Randolph's romance is back again
Meanwhile Randolph smiles and says he'll give her ten
She doesn't come so he just counts again
And he's been there since he does not know when
He's thinks she's stood him up but in the end
The senorita won't keep him waiting
Don't go my Randolph slow tango with me
Senorita dance cheek to cheek
We will dance off into the sky
She said she's gonna wear a skirt that shocks
She's pulling out all the stops
To get her Randolph back again
Meanwhile Randolph, he's back at the ranch
He's getting ready for tonight's song and dance
He's doesn't know he doesn't stand a chance
His last affair will be his last romance
The senorita will be there waiting
Don't go my Randolph slow tango with me
Underneath the Latin moonlight
The danced and seen a falling star in flight
To the strum of guitars she held him tight
She wants her Randolph back again
Meanwhile it's worthwhile for Randolph to wait
'Till he gets the nerve then he won't hesitate
He doesn't know but he's just bit the bait
He just asked if he could make a date
The senorita will be there waiting
Don't go my Randolph slow tango with me
The senorita's heart is in love
She wearing white tonight, looks as pure as a dove
She's thanking God and all the heavenly stars above
Randolph's romance is back again
Meanwhile Randolph smiles and says he'll give her ten
She doesn't come so he just counts again
And he's been there since he does not know when
He's thinks she's stood him up but in the end
The senorita won't keep him waiting
Don't go my Randolph slow tango with me
Senorita dance cheek to cheek
We will dance off into the sky

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,
Magical

Blue

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
