I'm steppin' out into the walk of life
Hold tight the vibe is right
Feel the heat that's in the air
People watchin' everywhere

Rush hour slow it down
Stop and listen to the summer sound
Playing in the park and street talkin'
London Town is walkin', walkin'

London Town is walkin'
I said it's really talkin' yeah
Steppin' in the walk of life
I said makin' out the walk of life
London Town I'm stalkin'
I said I'm really walkin' yeah

The sun goes down, and the lights come up
So we move on to a club
Surround yourself with the feel-good groove
People dancin' everywhere

Make your move go turn it up
Rockin' rhythm at the rasta club
Swingin' in the dark and heart thumpin'
London Town is thumpin'
I said it was jumpin'

London town is walkin'
I said it's really talkin' yeah
Steppin' in the walk of life
I said makin' out the walk of life
London Town I'm stalkin'
I said I'm really walkin' yeah

Zing zinga zinga zinga zinga zinga
Zing zinga zinga zinga zinga zinga
Zinga zaaaaahhhhh
Zing zinga zinga zinga zaaaaahhhhh
Zing zaaahhhh ha ahhh

The sun is risin', but we haven't slept
I'm not ready to rest my head yet
Huddle close till you get no air
See the crew down Leicester Square

Pup-crawlers morning dew
People watchin' is it you
Jump the bus and fell hoppin'
London Town is still buzzin'
Oh it's really buzzin' yeah

London Town is walkin'
I said it's really talkin' yeah
Steppin' in the walk of life
I said makin' out the walk of life
London Town I'm stalkin'
I said I'm really walkin' yeah

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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/

Magical
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.
