My name, Zaakir
I'm versatile
Plus I never eat the cow if ain't Halal
Why you rap or bit of styles in the third degree
Myself and 7even tight like cornbread Earl and me
Showcase with the voice that's oh so fresh
And I can still serve em up in a minute or less
I can talk all day but I'm gonna save my breath
And let my nigga Marc 7even just do the rest

I'll do the rest, but I won't rest
Get fresh off of any beat you suggest
High tech with the combination we prepare
Rap concierge behind the rhyme kickin' the snare
Check it
Marc's the word
7even marks the spot
Guaranteed to keep it hot
If you like it or not

MCs
With verbal potshots
Taking the top spot
Clutching top notch

And together we, will forever be
High Fidelity
Definitely
Switching the melody
Can it be
The Casanova speech therapy
That heavenly puts the flavor right where it should be
My words have been connected to the poets of old
The way I utilize the pen I turn ink to gold
Keep it overly creative
Innovator of soul
Check the flavor from the fader
Which my DJ holds

And together we
Will forever be
High Fidelity
Definitely
Switching the melody
Can it be the brothers that you rarely see
Got together for the better
Whether him or me
And together we
Will forever be
High Fidelity
Definitely
Switching the melody
Can it be the brothers that you rarely see
They got together for the better
Whether him or me

You better remember these
Incredible MCs
Our sounds invade spread plagues just like leprosy
Our weapons be our vocals
Guaranteed to smoke you
Better think twice about stepping
We nice
Never focused on ice
And still coming off tight
It's like the color of night
I mean the beat is so right
Damn
Soup and 7even
Betrayed your heart
The beat that's compliment of DJ Numark

And it's the fifth element
Never repetitive
Highly competitive
Classy and elegant
Super intelligent I'm telling it to ladies and gents
Never irrelevant now do I have to say it again

The fifth element
Never be hesitant
Totally accurate
Present or past tense
We immaculate in fact you get a whole crew
Backin' it
Show you what working with

And together we
Will forever be
High Fidelity
Definitely
Switching the melody
Can it be the way that we demonstrate
All of the twin powers we activate

I'll tear into competitors
Pluck them like chicken feathers
Or better than ever
Incredible poetical editor
Deader be better
I bid the regards to whether whenever
We're clever
Endeavors when me and 7even rappin' together

Your style is post mortem
No decorum
Stop borin
We explorin'
You ignorin'
I'm the foreman
Longshoreman
And I'm sure when we touring
That you whack and you boring

    Ace tune, basically bragging about how well they work together - "and together we will forever be high fidelity" (a reference to the film/book im guessing) - all in all, just a bit good

    I love this song. Just because it ain't deep doesn't mean it ain't great.

    Well said Quff. This song is clever and catchy. Much more so than the highly repetitive boring songs I often hear.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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,

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
