Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
All the storms and oceans
All the sheltering sky
All this earth and she and I
Wait until it happens
Wait, the moment will come
Wait, but all those are already one
And she asks me
How many sunrises
Will we watch from start to finish
How many will we witness?
And my answers
Are only ever surmises
Maybe a handful of times
Before the next life
Here, we stop beneath the leaves
Here, a moment to stay
Here, a gift of pale green color
Here above her
And she asks me
How many sunrises
Will we watch from start to finish
How many will we witness?
And my answers
Are only ever surmises
Maybe a handful of times
Before the next life
A kiss, a prayer, a laugh, a song
She won't try to tell me what's right from wrong
A song, a laugh, a prayer, a kiss
She won't try to tell me I need more than this
All my answers
And all my surmises
Will never do it justice
She'll just have to trust it
We'll wait here
Until the sun rises
We'll watch from start to finish
With no one as our witness
All the sheltering sky
All this earth and she and I
Wait until it happens
Wait, the moment will come
Wait, but all those are already one
And she asks me
How many sunrises
Will we watch from start to finish
How many will we witness?
And my answers
Are only ever surmises
Maybe a handful of times
Before the next life
Here, we stop beneath the leaves
Here, a moment to stay
Here, a gift of pale green color
Here above her
And she asks me
How many sunrises
Will we watch from start to finish
How many will we witness?
And my answers
Are only ever surmises
Maybe a handful of times
Before the next life
A kiss, a prayer, a laugh, a song
She won't try to tell me what's right from wrong
A song, a laugh, a prayer, a kiss
She won't try to tell me I need more than this
All my answers
And all my surmises
Will never do it justice
She'll just have to trust it
We'll wait here
Until the sun rises
We'll watch from start to finish
With no one as our witness

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
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.
Everyone of his albums has this pervasive feeling over the entire span of playing. His first album had an acoustic, young feeling, his 3rd album, Phantom Moon, was filled with this somber reminiscence, etc.
This album contains the feeling of beauty. Like exploring a favorite artist, such as seeing another Monet, or reading a poem that reaches into your soul, each track on this album opens to me like this. I don't think White Limousine is his best album; He has other ones that are more complete. What i do think about White Limo is that he manages to touch on a culture in turmoil with his lyrics and combines it with a delicacy in his music that creates this unstable picture like early abstract painters.
The beauty intensifies as the album draws to a close ending with this song, the most beautiful. I can argue with myself whether it is the most beautiful of any of his songs which I refrain from doing on this long drawn out comment.
To the song:
I love how for the basic verses he takes a word and repeats it at the beginning of each line. It adds this choral, ambient effect, something he was trying to achieve on this album. The splendor and purity of the moment is enhanced with the effect.
The situation described by the lines in the song I feel that every person must have desired at some point in their lives. The lyrics allude to those 'perfect' moments. The ones that we wish to happen for eternity, the ones that steal your thoughts for life, the ones that you look back on to find comfort.
How many of those will we have? How many of those could we possibly dream of possessing?
This song brings about thoughts of love and my aim for life - To find someone to share those moments that are most dear, to watch those sunrises that signify the end to a perfect night.
