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 Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
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.
Great instrumental song. Its about these trapped minors who requested for an ipod full of foo fighters songs be sent down till they got out. I heard that Dave Grohl even gave them free tickets to a gig.
Go Aussies!
Yeah, one of the trapped miners was a giant Foo Fighters fan, so they sent down an iPod full of their tunes. Grohl heard about it and offered them tickets to their acoustic show in Sydney. After the show, they went and got plastered in a bar, where Grohl promised the guy he would put a song for them on the new album. I think he came up with this on the night, or soon after.
Even though this song has no lyrics, the song has been dedicated to a group of miners who were caught in a tunnel collapse and while being rescued they asked for an iPod full of Foo Fighters songs.
thats an awesome story!
Awesome song
The sound of this song is heavily influenced by Led Zeppelin's 'White Summer, Black Mountain Side'. It's beautiful, so so beautiful.
Are you serious? That's awesome! This is a neat song.
this song is great! ive never listened to an instrumental this much and still liked it:P
Ya, adding to what James water said. youtube.com/watch ^^If you check this out, it's an interview on "the Hour" in which Dave and Taylor talk about some of the meanings of the songs off of the "Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace", especially talking about Kurt and the start of the Foo Fighters careers. "For the longest time I wouldn't write lyrics that would be associated to something like that," refering to the death of Kurt. But he later goes in to explaining that now he isn't afraid to talk about it and write about it.
But now about the Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners...
The song is about a group of miners who were in a mine collapse in Tazmania, in a town called Beaconsfield. When rescuers reached them with a drill, they could only give them small items. One of the miners (Brant Webb) asked for a I-pod with the Foo Fighters latest record on it (which was In Your Honor). Dave Grohl heard this story later and was playing in the area, so he invited the miner to come see the show and have a couple beers with the band afterwards. Well during the concert he played a little acoustic piece, which happened to be "The Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners". Well, after the show, Dave had "a few to many beers" and promised to put it on the record, so he put it on the record. This is the true story, Dave said it himself.
Watch the video, it probably explains it better than I did, and it's an intresting video to any Foo Fighters fan.
TASMANIA. and well look at the name of the album? do you know how long they were trapped? there were only two miners, their mate and colleague had been killed by the same rock fall that had them trapped. ECHOES, SILENCE, PATIENCE AND GRACE.
buried for 14 nights with nothing but water and FOO
Kaki King plays on this song.
She is awesome. The best guitarist in the world
I saw her live several years ago. She is awe-inspiring. However, her stage banter makes her seem conceited.
