Sent to leave the Sun for Mercury
Venus is traced through the light
Leading this grand ascendancy
Through the spheres, infused with potency
Instincts will show the direction
Sealed in such vast supremacy

Uncaring, non-fearing
Entering a world of flesh and bone

Go face the fears of the unknown
Into the ascension chamber
Go, animate the flesh and bones
Life instantaneous

I awake, wrapped in mortality
Senses of fear and delight
Sealing the gate of ecstasy

Uncaring, non-fearing
Entering a world of flesh and bone

Go face the fears of the unknown
Into the ascension chamber
Go, animate the flesh and bones
Life instantaneous

Seal the gate of ascendancy
Linear count unfolds my fate

Linear time duration
Counts towards the end
Lifetimes smothered by death
Fear of the vast unknown

Sent to leave the Sun for Mercury
Venus is traced through the light
Leading this grand ascendancy
Through the spheres, infused with potency
Instincts will show the direction
Sealed in such vast supremacy

Uncaring, non-fearing
Entering a world of flesh and bone

Go face the fears of the unknown
Into the ascension chamber
Go, animate the flesh and bones
Life instantaneous
Go face the fears of the unknown
Into the ascension chamber
Go, animate the flesh and bones
Life instantaneous

    This one is plain simple.

    Per Nilsson said this in an interview: "a spiritual entity that originates from the sun travels through the solar system, destination: the earth. That's the basic concept of the song 'Ascension Chamber'

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,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
