All we have lost, the stars have eaten
All that dies begins again

Tears you've shed, the earth has gained
Buried beneath the sky
So strange, it cannot be explained

In this light, I see your spirit
Listen, maybe we can hear it
All we have lost the stars have eaten
All that dies begins again

Innocent magic
Is stronger than evil
Innocent magic [x2]

Innocent magic
Is stronger than evil
Innocent magic [x2]

All we have lost, the stars have eaten
All that dies begins again

Tears have shed, the earth is regained
Buried beneath the sky
So strange, it cannot be explained

In this light, I see your spirit
Listen, maybe we can hear it
All we have lost the stars have eaten
All that dies begins again

Innocent magic
Is stronger than evil
Innocent magic [x2]

Innocent magic
Is stronger than evil
Innocent magic [x2]

Innocent magic
Is stronger than evil
Innocent magic [x2]

Innocent magic
Is stronger than evil
Innocent magic [x2]

    Song Fact

    Many years ago I read an interview with Dax in Sydney's Vice magazine. It was a captivating and in depth dialogue which spanned several pages. According to Dax, this song was originally titled 'The Stars Of Eden' but decided to change it as well as some of the lyrics, to tone down the heresy. He also mentioned Lockup's song 'Afterlife in Purgatory' which was originally titled 'Afterlife is Purgatory'. The U.S.A. is a strange and wild land of extreme dualities...

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,

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
