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.
He was leading us through the dark
He was sayin' that "love goes on"
I was wanting some "ice cream"
He knew exactly what I meant
From the drivers seat in the dark
He popped a tape in the dash of his car
And when the singer started to scream
I knew exactly what he meant
I never knew for sure, what a wonderful man he was
What a sensuous man he was
What a marvelous man he was
Why do we love what is wrong?
Big devil told us to sing along
And like a loving flock we obey, except for him
He went his own way
I never knew for sure, what a wonderful man he was
'Til the day I found out his cause
Was to do it for all of us
He was sayin' that "love goes on"
I was wanting some "ice cream"
He knew exactly what I meant
From the drivers seat in the dark
He popped a tape in the dash of his car
And when the singer started to scream
I knew exactly what he meant
I never knew for sure, what a wonderful man he was
What a sensuous man he was
What a marvelous man he was
Why do we love what is wrong?
Big devil told us to sing along
And like a loving flock we obey, except for him
He went his own way
I never knew for sure, what a wonderful man he was
'Til the day I found out his cause
Was to do it for all of us

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
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
gorgeous song. what i wouldnt do to feel like this everyday:
With the sun on my shoulder And the wind in my back I will never grow older At least not in my mind
