Omanko

Sky Ferreira

Oh, Japanese Jesus
Oh, Japanese Jesus, come on
Indefinite Jesus
Indefinite Jesus will come up
Reading Japanese comics
And fucking Japanese omanko
A Japanese Jesus
A Japanese Jesus, come on

I'm gearing up
I'm gearing up for a Japanese Christmas
I'm gearing up
I'm gearing up for a Japanese Christmas

Oh, Japanese Jesus
Oh, Japanese Jesus, come up
Hey, Japanese Jesus
Oh, Japanese Jesus, come up
Reading Japanese comics
And fucking Japanese omanko, oh
Oh, Japanese Jesus
Oh, Japanese Jesus, come on

I'm gearing up
I'm gearing up for a Japanese Christmas
I'm gearing up
I'm gearing up for a Japanese Christmas
I'm gearing up
I'm gearing up for a Japanese Christmas
I'm gearing up
I'm gearing up for a Japanese Christmas

    Pitchfork: "Omanko" is one of the more dissonant songs on the album. How did that one come about?

    SF: Justin and I were messing around, and we were like, "We like Suicide, let's do a Suicide song for fun." Then we were like, "Wait, it's actually kind of good." So we put it on the record.

    Pitchfork: That song takes its title from Japanese slang for female genitalia—are you worried about people thinking that you're just going for shock value?

    SF: Oh, I'm sure. People take anything I do the wrong way. [laughs] I tend to bring out the love/hate thing with a lot of people. It's fine.

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,

Blue
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.

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.
