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.
Go on and pull yourself up
We climb, we climb, we climb, we climb
Down there they get you, down there
Again and again, forever and ever
Go on and give it a tug
Go on, pull up, I know it's tough
But down there it's deeper than deep
That hole is so steep
And things are heavier
Hear it now, the night is calling us
Wave your hands and summon the spirits up
Tonight, tonight, tonight
we raise the dead!
The dark is plaguing our hearts
Pumping through us and collecting in our deepest parts
Well down there it's dripping like tar
And it's stuck to your arms
And it's sticking to you too long
The time is higher than high
Something lurking in your shadow that keeps trying to hide
Oh no, want it alive
To get out, to get out, to get out of your insides
Hear it now the night is calling us
Wave your hands and summon the spirits up
Tonight, tonight, tonight
we raise the dead!
Go on and pull yourself up, up, up
Go on, pull up, I know it's tough
But down there they get you, down there
Again and again
Forever and ever
Hear it now, the night is calling us
Wave your hands and summon the spirits up
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
we raise the dead!
We climb, we climb, we climb, we climb
Down there they get you, down there
Again and again, forever and ever
Go on and give it a tug
Go on, pull up, I know it's tough
But down there it's deeper than deep
That hole is so steep
And things are heavier
Hear it now, the night is calling us
Wave your hands and summon the spirits up
Tonight, tonight, tonight
we raise the dead!
The dark is plaguing our hearts
Pumping through us and collecting in our deepest parts
Well down there it's dripping like tar
And it's stuck to your arms
And it's sticking to you too long
The time is higher than high
Something lurking in your shadow that keeps trying to hide
Oh no, want it alive
To get out, to get out, to get out of your insides
Hear it now the night is calling us
Wave your hands and summon the spirits up
Tonight, tonight, tonight
we raise the dead!
Go on and pull yourself up, up, up
Go on, pull up, I know it's tough
But down there they get you, down there
Again and again
Forever and ever
Hear it now, the night is calling us
Wave your hands and summon the spirits up
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
we raise the dead!

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,
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
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.
I think this song is about reviving their careers (although they never really disappeared) and reminding them that they have to be united, as a band and as friends.
