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.
I'm gonna take you down a little alley
I'm serious but there is generally
No need take the words so literally
But you can take, take 'em down
You can take 'em down
I'm gonna take you down a little alley
I'm serious but there is generally
No need take the words so literally
But you can take, take 'em down
I'm gonna take you down a little alley
I'm serious but there is generally
No need take the words so literally
But you can take, take 'em down
You can take 'em down
You think that you were strong enough
but that was wrong enough
I know
To think that you were strong enough
It just was wrong for us
That I know
I'm gonna take you down a little alley
I'm serious but there is generally
No need take the words so literally
But you can take, take 'em down
I'm gonna take you down a little alley
I'm serious but there is generally
No need take the words so literally
But you can take, take 'em down
You can take 'em down
You think you were strong enough
but that was wrong enough
I know
To think that you were strong enough
It just was wrong for us
Yeah, I know
And if the defense is
up,
you can turn it down
right now
And if the defense is up,
turn it down
right now!
Right now, right now, right now!
And if the defense is up,
turn it down
right now!
Right now, right now, right now!
Defense is up,
you can turn it down
right now!
Right now, right now, right now!
I'm gonna take you down a little alley
I'm serious but there is generally
No need take the words so literally
I'm serious but there is generally
No need take the words so literally
But you can take, take 'em down
You can take 'em down
I'm gonna take you down a little alley
I'm serious but there is generally
No need take the words so literally
But you can take, take 'em down
I'm gonna take you down a little alley
I'm serious but there is generally
No need take the words so literally
But you can take, take 'em down
You can take 'em down
You think that you were strong enough

And if the defense is up,

Right now, right now, right now!
And if the defense is up,

Right now, right now, right now!
Defense is up,

Right now, right now, right now!
I'm gonna take you down a little alley

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental 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.
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.
