(Matt Embree's solo project, Love You Moon)

David's birthday, another boy I knew whos laid to rest.
David goes without an end.
Atop of the mountain he sang a song and held his hands up high, towards the skies about to pray.

She got his number, he's gonna get it.
She got his number, we're gonna get it.
She got his number, he's gonna get it.
She got his number.

There was man who lacks the love so he married a prince he was a company covered. Said "You pour me a drink, maybe ill stick around."
For the oldest cheif they gave a proper burial, down in the ground he was surround by the scene, a box of earthworms.
The native said "Fatalty is a sin to me now".

She got his number, he's gonna get it.
She got his number, we're gonna get it.
She got his number, he's gonna get it.
She got his number, we're gonna get it , get it, get it.

When the s'caps creepers die, woah oh, we'll have to make new love. Oh the road it's cold, it's the one that we ramble and the mountains wrong with dreams can never fade.

He spoke of perfection, and all the people stood and started to clap, and every smile looked on the same. Oh there was a banner, the children 'gressivly began to beg, pledge alligence while they waved.

She got his number, he's gonna get it.
She got his number, we're gonna get it.
She got his number, he's gonna get it.
She got his number, we're gonna get it , get it, get it.

    david's birthday, another goliath is laid to rest like a ghost with out a name atop a mountain he sang a song and held his hands up high towards the sky about to break

    she got his number, he's gonna get it (x4)

    well, there was a man who lost his lover so he married a prince who was a cop under cover and said pour me a drink, maybe ill stick around and for the oldest chief they gave a proper burial down in the ground he was surrounded by a cedar box the earth worms that ate him said, "they all taste the same to me now"

    she got his number, he's gonna get it (x4) get it, get it

    when the sky scrapers topple oh we'll have to make new love the road thats gold is the one that we ramble and the mind thats strong with dreams can never fade

    the king spoke of perfection and all the people stood and start to clap and every smile looked all the same oh there was a banner the children agressively began to beg a pledge allegiance while they wave

    she got his number, shes gonna get it (x4) get it, get it

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,

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
