This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Cut your broke lines, broke your headlights and waited for you at the stop sign. Disconnected iron lungs, insurance fires, our smothered young. Always the first one on the scene. A pyromantic midsummer nights dream.
Thank you lord:
1) For this oil slick.
2) For her car wreck.
3) For I'm lovesick.
Heaven sent us a redeemer, but Hell tried his resolve. And when you thought we were done for, I pulled through. While you rested your eyes in the drivers seat, I sat and watched you. Always the first one on the scene. A pyromantic midsummer nights dream. Trust me. We'll wait for it, pray for it, step on the brakes till we're over it, under it screaming like bombs for it. Oh dear me, I've done it again.
Thank you lord:
4) For the loaded gun.
5) For the bad aim.
6) For I'm lonesome.
God is smiling down on us, he shines his grace on everyone.
P.S. - The greatest lovers were murderers first.

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

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

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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
"The greatest lovers are murderers first" ...its the greatest lovers WERE murderers first, and thats one of the most amazing lines ever written
