Spin away the combination for the last time,
say goodbye to this year.
I wish I could avoid the empty summer days that await me.
They'll fake a small goodbye, celebrating their new freedom
I sit alone on the couch wondering why.

I wonder what it's like to have it all,
to never be afraid that I would fall
but I don't think I've ever known a time
that I was part of the in-crowd

Here we go another day another disgrace,
fall flat on my face.
I wish I had a bunch of money, catch a plane
head out west they'll run and play around
all full of their fans and freedom,
I sit alone on the couch wondering why

I wonder what it's like to have it all,
to never be afraid that I would fall
but I don't think I've ever known a time
that I was part of the in-crowd.

Doesn't anyone here live an original life?
What did you surrender to be on the inside?
When you disappear they won't remember your name
and you'll fade away when someone takes your place.
Takes your place,
in the in crowd.

Spin away the combination for the last time,
say goodbye to this year.
I wish I could avoid the empty summer days that await me.
They'll fake a small goodbye, celebrating their new freedom
I sit alone on the couch, but I'm ready to fly.

I wonder what its like to have it all
to never be afraid that I would fall
but I don't think I've ever known a time
I wonder what its like to have it all
to never be afraid that I would fall
but I don't think I've ever known a time
that I was part of the in crowd.
of the in crowd
of the in crowd

I don't need anything that I cant find in me.
All my life I have been on the line, at the end
Waiting for some thing more, something new to begin.
Waiting for something more, some way to fit in
In the in crowd,
in the in crowd.

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,

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
