This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Why don't we hear?
Why don't we see?
Is there no future for you and me?
Why do we hide behind a masque?
Suddenly breathless
All is black and blinding me
Truth is a lie and lies are true
What is weak is sometimes strong
Sending a message to all
Sending a message to God
We must bring light to the darkness
In time we will rise above
Heal the waters
Earth is the lamb to the slaughter
And give us magic
Release our devoted souls
Look behind you, you've seen the kingdoms fall
Subliminal wars make us cry for sundown
Holy man, wash the blood from your hand
Godless behavior throughout the land
I fear you - you fear me
Building our bridges eternally
Gates of hell cast their spell
Your mark and your colors are branded on you
Sending a message to all
Sending a message to God
We must bring light to the darkness
In time we will rise above
Heal the waters
Earth is the lamb to the slaughter
And give us magic
Release our devoted souls
(x2)
Angel wings burned to ashes
Scattered through the sky
The smell of cinder and melting steel
This wound will never heal
Sending a message, a message to all
Sending a message to God
Sending a message, a message to all
Sending a message to God
Heal the waters
Earth is the lamb to the slaughter
Give us magic
Release our devoted souls
Heal the waters
Earth is the lamb to the slaughter
Give us magic
Release our souls
Come heal the waters
Why don't we see?
Is there no future for you and me?
Why do we hide behind a masque?
Suddenly breathless
All is black and blinding me
Truth is a lie and lies are true
What is weak is sometimes strong
Sending a message to all
Sending a message to God
We must bring light to the darkness
In time we will rise above
Heal the waters
Earth is the lamb to the slaughter
And give us magic
Release our devoted souls
Look behind you, you've seen the kingdoms fall
Subliminal wars make us cry for sundown
Holy man, wash the blood from your hand
Godless behavior throughout the land
I fear you - you fear me
Building our bridges eternally
Gates of hell cast their spell
Your mark and your colors are branded on you
Sending a message to all
Sending a message to God
We must bring light to the darkness
In time we will rise above
Heal the waters
Earth is the lamb to the slaughter
And give us magic
Release our devoted souls
(x2)
Angel wings burned to ashes
Scattered through the sky
The smell of cinder and melting steel
This wound will never heal
Sending a message, a message to all
Sending a message to God
Sending a message, a message to all
Sending a message to God
Heal the waters
Earth is the lamb to the slaughter
Give us magic
Release our devoted souls
Heal the waters
Earth is the lamb to the slaughter
Give us magic
Release our souls
Come heal the waters

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,
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
