On a hot summer wind that
The night had blown in
A vision a siren in black
With green velvet eyes and a porcelain smile
The fireflies danced in her hair
She said "please can you help me
I'm lost and i've nowhere to go
Please can you be the kindest soul?"

Well i couldn't resist her undauntable charm
As she brushed passed me through the door
There was something inside burned
I just couldn't hide
I'd never seen beauty before
"please can i stay
For my body is weak to the bone
And can you tell me are we alone?"

Heaven is only one kiss away
And i can take you as long as we stay

Well, the first lie i told was my wife
Had been gone one year ago to this day
And i still hear her cries
In the trembling night
And the nightmares just won't go away
"please come close and look
Deep in my eyes"
And i watched them turn black as night

Heaven is only one kiss away
And i can take you as long as we stay
Heaven is only one kiss away
Hells here on earth boy so drink for today

Well i watched her lay sprawling
Beckoning and calling
Burning holes right through the floor
And the wind started howling
And my hands started shaking
And the smell of death rose through the air
"this is the last thing that
I'll ask of you
Embrace me tonight and let us take flight"
Her siren song seeped slowly into my head
As i drew her close to my lips
And as they gently touched i
Felt a terrible rush
As the life was crushed right from my heart
With my last breath i watched
The black angel of death spread
Her wings in bliss
For she had stolen my soul through a kiss

Heaven is only one kiss away
And i can take take you as long as we stay
Heaven is only one kiss away
Hell's here on earth boy so drink for today

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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
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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
