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.
Gonna fly fly away over the mountain
Gonna fly fly away over the sea
Gonna keep flying around and never never come down
'Cause the big blue sky is the place for me
Got a gal out in Wyoming and a gal in Tennessee
One thing they got in common they want no part of me
Oh a girl here on earth is more trouble than she's worth
So I'll leave them all behind yesiree
(Gonna fly fly away over the mountain)
Mountain
Gonna fly fly away over the sea
Gonna keep flying around and never never come down
'Cause the big blue sky is the place for me
You will find me playing leap frog with the man up in the moon
Have myself a time each evening sleep each day 'til noon
And the bluebirds I'll bet let sing in their quartet
And we'll harmonize a barbershop too
Gonna fly fly away over the mountain
Gonna fly fly away over the sea
Gonna keep flying around and never never come down
'Cause the big blue sky is the place for me
Gonna hobknob with the angels who would want a better crowd
Gonna dance all over heaven and boy will I be proud
Gonna play peek-a-boo with the stars up in the blue
And when I get tired I'll rest on a cloud
Gonna fly fly away over the mountain
Gonna fly fly away over the sea
Gonna keep flying around and never never come down
'Cause the big blue sky is the place I want to be
Gonna fly away over the sea
Yes the big blue sky is the place for me
Gonna fly fly away over the sea
Gonna keep flying around and never never come down
'Cause the big blue sky is the place for me
Got a gal out in Wyoming and a gal in Tennessee
One thing they got in common they want no part of me
Oh a girl here on earth is more trouble than she's worth
So I'll leave them all behind yesiree
(Gonna fly fly away over the mountain)
Mountain
Gonna fly fly away over the sea
Gonna keep flying around and never never come down
'Cause the big blue sky is the place for me
You will find me playing leap frog with the man up in the moon
Have myself a time each evening sleep each day 'til noon
And the bluebirds I'll bet let sing in their quartet
And we'll harmonize a barbershop too
Gonna fly fly away over the mountain
Gonna fly fly away over the sea
Gonna keep flying around and never never come down
'Cause the big blue sky is the place for me
Gonna hobknob with the angels who would want a better crowd
Gonna dance all over heaven and boy will I be proud
Gonna play peek-a-boo with the stars up in the blue
And when I get tired I'll rest on a cloud
Gonna fly fly away over the mountain
Gonna fly fly away over the sea
Gonna keep flying around and never never come down
'Cause the big blue sky is the place I want to be
Gonna fly away over the sea
Yes the big blue sky is the place for me

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
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,
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
