How many tears can you count on your fingers?
How many diets can you do to get thinner?
How many wishes can you make while you're praying?
How many times have you heard them all saying

Hush little babe, don't overreact
Keep it all in and hold it all back
Hush little darling, time to save face
Give it some time, go down with some grace?

All across the nation
Put your hand up if you're faking
Say it out loud
Woah

Cause the only medication
For a heart that knows it's breaking
Is to get it out now
Say it out loud, woah

When was the last time that you could be honest?
Do you feel bad now you broken your promise?
How many times do you say you're gonna leave him?
You beat yourself up, cause all you keep hearing

Hush little babe, don't overreact
Keep it all in and hold it all back
Hush little darling, time to save face
Give it some time, go down with some grace

All across the nation
Put your hand up if you're faking
Say it out loud
Woah

Cause the only medication
For a heart that knows it's breaking
Is to get it out now
Say it out loud, woah

Let's take a minute
Make it stop, let me off
Make the beat drop, strip it all back
Till it's pitch black, where the stars fall

Take a minute
Drop me off, back to the start
Start of my heart, feel it in my bones
I'm feeling right at home, say it out loud

All across the nation
Put your hand up if you're faking
Say it out loud
Woah

Cause the only medication
For a heart that knows it's breaking
Is to get it out now
Say it out loud, woah

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
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,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
