Dar es dar
Y no fijarme en ella y su manera de actuar
Dar es dar
Y no decirle a nadie si quedarse o escapar

Cuando el mundo te pregunta
Del por qué, por qué, por qué, por qué
¿Por qué da vuelta la rueda?
¿Por qué no te detenés?
Yo te digo que dar es dar

Dar es dar
Y no marcar las cartas, simplemente dar
Dar es dar
Y no explicarle a nadie, no hay nada que explicar

Hoy los tiempos van a mil y tu extraño corazón
Ya no capta como antes las pulsiones del amor
Yo te digo que dar es dar
Dar y amar
Mira nena hacélo fácil
Dar es dar

Dar lo que tengo
Todo me da
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
No cuento el vuelto
Siempre es de más
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

Dar es dar
Es solamente una manera de andar
Dar es dar
Lo que recibes es también libertad

Cuando estoy perdido, un poco loco por ahí
Siempre hay alguien con tus ojos
Esperándome hasta el fin
Porque dar es dar
Dar y amar
Gracias, nena, por tu vida, una vez más
Dar es dar

Dar lo que tengo
Todo me da
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
No cuento el vuelto
Siempre es de más
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Estar de menos
O estar de más
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Cielo o infierno
Lo mismo da
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

Dar es dar
Dar es dar
Dar es dar

Dar es dar
Es encontrar en alguien lo que nunca encuentras

    Tema escrito en honor a Alberto Olmedo, comediante argentino. Tenia un show infantil llamado el "capitan piluso", de ahi el titulo. Es un tema muy lindo y triste.

    Written in honour to the late argentine comedian Alberto Olmedo, who had a children's show called "captain piluso", hence the title. It's a very beautiful and sad song.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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,

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.
