Yeah

There's a place where the boat leaves from
It takes away all of your big problems
You got worries you can drop them in the blue ocean
But you gotta get away to where the boat leaves from
Take one part sand and one part sea
And one part shade of a banana tree
The drinks they're cold and the Reggae is hot
And I know this is the place for me

Get away to where the boat leaves from
It takes away all of your big problems
You got worries you can drop 'em in the blue ocean
But you gotta get away to where the boat leaves-
Jimmy D

See the problem is that you're down there
And there's a perfectly good island somewhere
Where a ride that floats and don't grab your coat
You won't need 'em where we are going

Get away to where the boat leaves from
It takes away all of your big problems
You got worries you can drop 'em in the blue ocean
But you gotta get away to where the boat leaves from

Pick me up, pick me up, pick me up
Well put me down, down on the sand where it's cool
Put me down, and when I fall off my stool
Put me down, I'll just sleep there 'til morning comes 'round

With sunshine and ladies and Piña Colada
And Bob Marley songs that are playing
There's a song in my ear that I want y'all to hear
Soft tropical lips that are singin'

One love, one heart
Let's get together and feel all right
Hear the people crying (one love)
Hear the children crying (one heart)
Let's get together and feel all right

Let's get together and fight this Holy Armageddon (one love)
There's just one question that I really have to ask, yeah (one heart)
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner (one love)
And a bag of good kind, though ain't never gonna last

One love
What about a one heart? (One heart)
Let's get together and feel alright
Hear the people singin' (one love)
Hear the people sing (one heart)
Give thanks and praise to the Lord
And I will feel alright

So get away to where the boat leaves from
It takes away all of your big problems
You got worries you can drop 'em in the blue ocean
But you gotta get away to where-

get away to where the boat leaves from
It takes away all of your big problems
You got worries you can drop 'em in the blue ocean
But you gotta get away to where the boat leaves from

Dreamwalker
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,

I Can't Go To Sleep
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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
