    Well I like it, that\'s why I posted the rather empty lyrics page for it. The guitar part is so relaxing but then the track drifts off into a sort of Twilight Zone. Then there\'s that one sudden piano key, it almost announces your departure from the world you knew, showing you into a new, much stranger reality. The guitar part comes back trying to break through a wall of sound. It\'s a tough track to get into but there\'s plenty about it to love. I\'d like to figure out what all the samples are saying. Probably the only one I can fully decipher is what sounds like a little boy saying \"A rough time, a real rough time\". I am absolutely certain this is a sample from Roger & Me, the first film by Michael Moore. There\'s a scene where a guy is getting evicted from his house and a neighborhood boy says this quote exactly, in the same pitch, with the same accent to it. Points to the Appleseed Cast for making this song before the Michael Moore rennaissance spurred by Bowling for Columbine even happened. Plus they would have had to sample from a VHS copy or some other format, as it wasn\'t on DVD until a couple years after Low Level Owl was made. Now to the headphones...

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
