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.

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
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
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.
This is so wonderful. Thank you for your service and kindness, it was much appreciated. In addition to my gratitude, I would like to share with you a story of Rich Roll. Rich Roll is an incredible athlete. He's known for competing in Iron Man Triathlons, which require a competitor to swim for 2.4 miles, bicycle for 112 miles, and then run a marathon all in a day. Rich Roll has been invited to compete in the Ultraman event, reserved for the elite of elites. Day One is a 6.2 mile swim then a 90 mile bike ride, Day 2 is a 171.4 mile bike ride, and Day 3 is two marathons in a row — no breaks. He's being covered by Men's Fitness Magazine, and is notable for being a practicing vegan. Granted, <a href="personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2009/07/21/rich-roll-sponsorships-lie-future/"><strong>Rich Roll</strong></a> won't need a paydayadvance to compete thanks to corporate sponsors.
