They were seen high-jacking someone's car
They drove far away
And it's in the news, the papers too
It's all around

Some of us already knew the truth
They call it salvation for the street
I'll make sure you'll come clean

It never happened before when we were playing
It's serious now, cause someone's luck runs out tonight
It's a terrible fright, yeah

Nanana...

They came here to steal the things they like:
Computer equipment - mechanical stuff
Cause we've have enough
We give it away

But someone left the scene of way too soon
It is tremendous in a way
We've never seen it in our street

It never happened before when we were playing
Now TV-shows - talking all they're saying now
Our luck runs out tonight

It's this simple: you believe - someone gives and you receive
But somewhere along the way our luck ran out again

Nanana...

Now they live in nevernever-land
Claiming they're tourists
They light up the crowd
And don't talk so loud
Anymore

But I'm sure we will see their brothers soon
Already racing to be first
They find it hard to adjust

It never happened before we have been playing
Let's do it again, forget what I've been saying now
Your luck runs out tonight

Nanana...
(Our luck runs out tonight,
Our luck ran out tonight X 4)

    Sondre says on a video on his site that this song is based off of an article he read about these murderers who were being defended who claimed that they weren't really bad people. I find it really funny.

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,

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.

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.

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.
