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.
Hard not to be so hard on myself
I'm trying to learn to keep my mind in check
I listen to my friends
When they say
"It's destiny
It's meant to be this way"
I found that they're right
And now I see
That all this time
And I had the key
So now I'm on a roll
I got nothing but luck
With a spring in my step
As I strut down the block
I see the boys stare
And I hear them talk
As far as I go
As far as I know
I've always got
A place called home
I cross all the seas
It's fine by me
'Cause I'll never be
Far from home
My heart takes a hit
And then my heart hits back
And each day I find
Comfort in the fact
I listen to my friends
When they say
"Man just relax, 'cause it's all a game"
I found they're right
And now I see
I'm gonna have my fun
And what will be will be
Now I'm walking up the street
Whistling this
Everything's in place
'Cause I can't miss
I smile at my girls
And blow 'em a kiss
As far as I go
As far as I know
I always got
A place called home
I cross all the seas
It's fine by me
'Cause I'll never be
Far from home
As far as I go
As far as I know
I always got
A place called home
I cross all the seas
It's fine by me
'Cause I'll never be
Far from home
Far from home
Far from home
Far from home
My heart takes a hit
And then my heart hits back
And each day I find
Comfort in the fact
I listen to my friends
When they say
"Man just relax, 'cause it's all a game"
I found they're right
And now I see
I'm gonna have my fun
And what will be will be
Now I'm walking up the street
Whistling this
Everything's in place
'Cause I can't miss
I smile at my girls
And blow 'em a kiss
As far as I go
As far as I know
I've always got
A place called home
I cross all the seas
It's fine by me
'Cause I'll never be

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
