Control

Scanners

When the sirens call
Will you have no control?
So your heart it aches
Cause you were born without brakes
You were born without brakes
You were raised for a fall
Can you hear me now?
And you have no control

There’s a golden (age)
Through the bars of your cage
Through a twist of fate
You became what you hate
Yeah you became what you hate
You gave into them all
Through a twist of fate
You (will be sorry too late)

So sweet so cold
You must (follow)
It takes control
Now I’m over you
Are you over me too?
Just a number now
Still I’m working it out
And I am working it out
(Jibberish)
But I’m over you
Are you over me too?
So sweet so cold
You must (follow)
It takes control

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
