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.
Behold
It is written that a man should leave his mother and cling to woman that he love, ya man.
Chorus:
Give thanks that there an empress inna me life, oh jah
She loves me and she make us satifsied, oh jah
To love her I will make a sacrafice, oh jah
To keep her in my life (Good love inna me life)
Give thanks that there an empress inna me life, oh jah
She love me and she always satisfy, oh jah
To love her I will make a sacrifice, oh jah
To keep her in my life (True love inna me life)
She na *sleep naked* an listen to me
She speak only truth and reality
An when she come inna me yard it is a blessing to me
An conversation intellegently
She a the water to me root and she cant dilute
She gon bear me fruit and there is no dispute
The jungle to my heart she know the route
As night turn to day no substitute
Chorus
Cause you dont see me dont mean I dont care
Cause I cannot touch you not mean Im not there
Although we are apart feelings we share
Im a man upon mission please be aware
The road it might be rough but woman don't be afraid
The journey might be long but dont lose your faith
Im oceans away but we communicate
And soon I will be home and we gonna have a day
Chorus
Love how she kiss how she caress
The passion not sway how she put me to the test
When it comes to lovin she an empress at the best
I dont need a witness I confess
Everynight I pray that she never leaves me loney
Always pon the road and me know that it not easy
Express to her that she are my one and only
Future will be bright mother of my baby

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

Ed Sheeran
“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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
