This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
About a thousand years ago, we started off as friends you know
When you're back in town I'll meet you back home
Help me see it like I did my old eyes, where you been
I won't chase you around, like I chased you back then
The past is failing, the truth is..
Crash, bang, dropping like flies
Looking through the window with your bloodshot eyes
That's me waving goodbye
Hey, you, turn around
Take two steps back and figure it out, I'm the last one around
I know what you said when I threw you a line
Remember the life that you're saving is mine
I want you to know that this is the last time
Wanted to see it like you do
Wanted to know what you're stumbling through
But I don't have any chances left for you
The past is failing, the past is lies, the truth is...
When you're back in town I'll meet you back home
Help me see it like I did my old eyes, where you been
I won't chase you around, like I chased you back then
The past is failing, the truth is..
Crash, bang, dropping like flies
Looking through the window with your bloodshot eyes
That's me waving goodbye
Hey, you, turn around
Take two steps back and figure it out, I'm the last one around
I know what you said when I threw you a line
Remember the life that you're saving is mine
I want you to know that this is the last time
Wanted to see it like you do
Wanted to know what you're stumbling through
But I don't have any chances left for you
The past is failing, the past is lies, the truth is...

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.

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,

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.
Plastic Bag

“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.
