Hold back the rushing minutes
G
Make the wind lie still
A7 D
Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill
G
Dry all the raindrops hold back the sun
A7 D
My world has ended my baby's gone
A7 G D
The milkman whistles sofltly as he comes up to my door
A7 G D
And the mailman bring the letters by just like he did before
D D7 G
They seem so busy all day long as if though's nothing wrong
A7 D
Don't they the know the world has ended my baby's gone
D
Hold back the rushing minutes
G
Make the wind lie still
A7 D
Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill
G
Dry all the raindrops hold back the sun
A7 D
My world has ended my baby's gone


SOLO

A7
I wake up sometimes in the night
G D
And realize you're gone
A7
And then I toss upon my bed
G D
And wait for day to come
D
I tried to tell my lonely heart
D7 G
It must go on alone
A7 D
But it cries the world has ended my baby's gone
D
Hold back the rushing minutes
G
Make the wind lie still
A7 D
Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill
G
Dry all the raindrops hold back the sun
A7 D
My world has ended my baby's gone
Em A7 G D
My world has ended my baby's gone

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
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,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
