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.
I'm outside your house
Two A.M. it's dark
So many mistakes
Come back home from bars
I am on your side, dear
I just want to tell you off
So many lies
Are taking hold
It's not your fault
There's many scars
I am on your side
It's taken me a long time
I am on your side
On your side
And I listen
And I listen
Can you listen?
Now I'm listening
I am on your side
It's taken me a long time
I am on your side
I'm on your side
(And I listen) I am on your side
(And I listen) It's taken me a long time
(Can you listen?) I am on your side
(Now I'm listening) I'm on your side
(And I listen) I'm heading out tonight
(And I listen) I'm heading out tonight
(Can you listen?) I'm heading out
(Now I'm listening)
(And I listen)
(And I listen)
(Can you listen?)
(And I listen)
(And I listen)
(And I listen)
Two A.M. it's dark
So many mistakes
Come back home from bars
I am on your side, dear
I just want to tell you off
So many lies
Are taking hold
It's not your fault
There's many scars
I am on your side
It's taken me a long time
I am on your side
On your side
And I listen
And I listen
Can you listen?
Now I'm listening
I am on your side
It's taken me a long time
I am on your side
I'm on your side
(And I listen) I am on your side
(And I listen) It's taken me a long time
(Can you listen?) I am on your side
(Now I'm listening) I'm on your side
(And I listen) I'm heading out tonight
(And I listen) I'm heading out tonight
(Can you listen?) I'm heading out
(Now I'm listening)
(And I listen)
(And I listen)
(Can you listen?)
(And I listen)
(And I listen)
(And I listen)

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,
Blue

“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.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
JustWatchThFireworks - Maybe 'cause Pete and Howie are both singer/songwriters? But Pete's got a good heart. Can't say the same about Howie.
