He said we could talk about gossip
We could talk about lies
He said we could talk about rumours
We could do whatever I like
Then he said 'lets stop with all the talking,
Why not try something new? Because there's no need for any talking in what we're about to do

Rest, your pretty head, you pretty head
(Just rest, just rest, just rest your pretty head)
Don't trouble your pretty head, your pretty head

You know I'm all for conversation, I'm really quite romantic you know,
Why not get right to the point, its not that often we are left alone
No offense, when you get going you really can be quite a bore, now don't take this the wrong
Way, but my heels are getting sore

Rest, your pretty head, you pretty head
(Just rest, just rest, just rest your pretty head)
Don't trouble your pretty head, your pretty head
Oh rest, your pretty head, you pretty head
(Just rest, just rest, just rest your pretty head)
Don't trouble your pretty head, your pretty head
Rest, your pretty head, you pretty head
(Just rest, just rest, just rest your pretty head)
Don't trouble your pretty head, your pretty head

We spent a winter and a spring, just listening not talking, come weather, rain or shine,
No-one ever told you then, but conversations in my head helped me to pass the time

Oh rest, your pretty head, you pretty head
(Just rest, just rest, just rest your pretty head)

don't trouble your pretty head, your pretty head

Rest, your pretty head, you pretty head
(Just rest, just rest, just rest your pretty head)

Don't trouble your pretty head, your pretty head
Oh rest, your pretty head, you pretty head
(Just rest, just rest, just rest your pretty head)

Don't trouble your pretty head, your pretty head
Rest, your pretty head, you pretty head
(Just rest, just rest, just rest your pretty head)
Don't trouble your pretty head, your pretty head

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

Magical
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.
