Is this about where your head's at? (fuck)
No, Blanche, she's upset because they keep changing the taste of coke

Golden Gal on her screen
Some kind of tube she'd never seen
Gift to the girl ready to dream
Hope in new forms the elderly be
Spirit is burning to hear it for the girls again

So complex and brave
A power and lure without showing some legs
Different roads not just sexual things
Went and cut a rude hue said it did right away
And I'm keeping it new, and relearning girls again

It's a strange kind of plot who steps and paves the golden way
With a humor that is known to quickly put me in my place
Every words so tricky how we know what to say

My gal you're so strong you should hold your head above them
And you need not ask for much to get my praise

Golden Gal on her screen
Some kinda tune she'd never seen
Gift to the girl ready to dream
Hope in new forms the elderly be
Spirit is burning to hear it for the girls again

Let me dress up like a golden gal and have my golden day
Let me watch the mark of maleness from a table side in greys
I can only dream of how I'd be so amazed

The Gals were right on, when she needed laughs to fall on
For all of this and more I give them praise

(A man, fly trap)

You think the gals should feel so comfortable these days
But sexy genders bring some troubles to the fray
And trouble tears apart another golden heart
So I want to be the reminder that she's stronger than the bulk on other days

Golden Gal gave me my strength
She said I'll be here for you later, boy
Now run along you have to fall
Golden Gal gave me my faith
All it took was some belief
But don't believe that she should change at all
Golden Gal taught me restraint
She said you'll want me more much later, dude
I'm your everything and not your toy
Golden Gal I'll be beside her
And I might want to stand in line
To find the kind of mind she can provide

You think the gal should feel so comfortable these days
But sex and gender brings some troubles to the fray
And trouble tears apart another golden heart
So I want to be the reminder that she's stronger than the bulk on other days

Golden Gal gave me my strength
She said I'll be here for you later, boy
Now run along you have to fall
Golden Gal gave me my faith
And all it took was some belief
But don't believe that she should change at all
Golden Gal taught me restraint
She said you'll want me more much later, dude
I'm your everything and not your toy
Golden Gal I'll be beside her
And I might want to stand in line
To find the kind of mind she can provide

Here for a while I will follow my golden gal

    My Interpretation

    I'm pretty sure this song is about the female objectification of our society.

    proof:

    "But sexy genders bring some troubles to the fray And trouble tears apart another golden heart"

    This shows how the "golden hearts" of many girls are broken as they don't meet the standards for beauty of society.


    "So I want to be the reminder that she’s stronger than the bulk on other days"

    This one is actually pretty cool, this quote is meant to be told to a girl who suffers from not meeting the beauty standards and is meant to show that she is "stronger" than the crowd who objectify women.


    "She said you'll want me more much later, dude I'm your everything and not your toy"

    The most important part of this quote is the last part as it is meant to be a girl stating to someone (probably someone who harassed her) that she is capable of doing lots of things "I'm your everything" and yet she is treated as an object "and not your toy".

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,

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

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
