You're a long way from home
And you can't sleep at night
Grab your telephone
Now something ain't right
And that's evil
Evil
Going home baby
I said I'm warning you brothers
You'd better watch your happy home

Long way from home
And you can't sleep at night
Feels like another mule's kickin' in my stall
And that's evil
Evil
Going out baby
I said I'm warning you brothers
You'd better watch your happy home
Watch your happy
Watch your happy, happy home

You're a long way from home
And you can't sleep at night
Feels like another mule's kickin' in my stall
And that's evil
Evil
Going home baby
I said I'm warning you brothers
You'd better watch your happy home
Watch your happy
Watch your happy, happy home

Evil yeah
Evil right
Evil yeah
Evil now

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,

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
