Not afraid of a guy who'll tell you he's never been in a mix
Been in a mix
Been in a mix
We're from the grassroots so big up to our friends
Every crew, every clique, and every posse
Big up to all the heads not of hypocrisy

You're a transistor
Lightning resistor
Conducting to the mother star
That's what you are

Brothers from another planet and here once again
Automatic
Automatic
Quantam saints of the universe in a holographic
Cosmic remix
Cosmic remix
From the mysterious blue planet
We can breathe anywhere
Under water, out in space, and in LA
Your polluted air's no problem for these homeys

You're a transistor
Lightning resistor
Lightning resistor
Conducting to the mother star
That's what you are

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
