Almost Home (with Damien Jurado)

Moby

I'll decide
In a moment's time
To turn away
Leave it all behind

So we climb
So we're all are told the line
The crowd is home
The treasure found

So let it go
Wake up, wake up, wake up
We're almost home
So let it go
Wake up, wake up, wake up
We're almost home

Time to scout
When I was a child there
I know at heart
To be at your side

So we climb
Somewhere I will draw the line
I dream it, too
The stars were mine

So let it go
Wake up, wake up, wake up
We're almost home
So let it go
Wake up, wake up, wake up
We're almost home

I'll decide
In a moment's time
To turn away
Leave it all behind

So we climb
Somewhere I will draw the line
The crowd is home
The treasure found

So let it go
Wake up, wake up, wake up
We're almost home
So let it go
Wake up, wake up, wake up
We're almost home
So let it go
Wake up, wake up, wake up
We're almost home
So let it go
Wake up, wake up, wake up
We're almost home

    This song is so beautiful and serene, as most Moby songs are. :) To me, it really makes me think about my silly little life and what wondrous things await in the afterlife. But I'm not exactly sure what it's really, because last I knew, Moby wasn't the religious man he used to be.

    The most beautiful song I have ever heard

    Memory

    This is a song that really speaks to me. I associated it with my dog's untimely death, which broke my heart. But this song made me think about how I'd done my best to give him a worthwhile life, a happy one which he lived to its peak; he was a glue that bound our family together for eight years. It makes me think that in his afterlife, he'd live in our memories, and keep us going strong. And when you love him like we did, that's more than we could have asked for. That's why this song means so much to me. It's beautifully uplifting.

    My Interpretation

    I see this song as a take on human consciousness and honoring the soul. We all have expectations thrust upon us from society, parents, ect. Moby is telling us to 'let it go' and 'wake up' to what our soul is telling us. 'We're almost home' signifying that when we listen to what our soul is saying, we are truly enlightened and conscious. Once this happens on an individual level, it can be spread, and reaching this level throughout our entire species can be something Moby is getting at. Saying, with all that is happening currently, that there is an awakening happening. Wake up, society, because we are 'almost home'. Meaning, we are becoming an enlightened and conscious society, and we can reach that.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

Punchline
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.
Album art
Amazing
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.

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.
