All the phones have rung and rung
They're off the hook, all but one
And all the mail, stacked up inside
Up from the floor, a mile high

And like one would, like a child
I'm asking...
Like I could knock on your door
Will you let me in

Dear God, I found out the same things we learn when we die
I found out the truth, it's all a big lie
I found out the words are hard to describe
To tell you I'm lost here, I'm waiting reply

Climbing trees and paper planes
Like as akid, we're all the same
Tears of joy with sullen hearts
Sticks and stones and broken arms

And like one would, like a child
I'm asking...
Like I could knock on your door
Will you let me in

Dear God, I found out the same things we learn when we die
I found out the truth, it's all a big lie
I found out the words are hard to describe
To tell you I'm lost here, I'm waiting reply
I felt I was wrong and it's not you or I
Or anyone else that you chose that night
It seems like the madness, the choice and the light
Have made it all clear if we run and hide

(Intrumental)

Dear God, I found out the same things we learn when we die
I found out the truth, it's all a big lie
I found out the words are hard to describe
To tell you I'm lost here, I'm waiting, goodbye
I felt I was wrong and it's not you or I
Or anyone else that you chose that night
It seems like the madness, the choice and the light
Have made it all clear if we run and hide

    "I'll tell you I'm lost here and waiting reply"

    I think it should be: "I'll tell you I'm lost here, awaiting reply"

    Song is pretty awesome, the chorus rocks.

Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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,

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.

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.
