This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
We went out Thursday night without the pressures of weekends
Now I find myself consumed with all the lovely things we said
Could you really been as busy as you had claimed
Or have you been soundin’ out my last name
So I will keep hoping and holding out patience for you
Did you get my message
I’m quite sure you never called back
Perhaps I’m just paranoid
I need to cut her some slack
Seems like everyone’s better at playin’ it cool
And I’ve always been bad at obeyin’ these rules
But as far as ladies go you come and go as you please
Do I really wanna know if I even have a choice
I’ve been plastered to the phone
And I just wait on your voice
Call me back
Call me back
Call me back
Even if it’s just, even if it’s just to say goodbye
I’ve been obsessing in ways that I usually do
And mostly I got obsessed with whether you got obsessed too
Did I simply imagine the chemistry there
Was it bad conversation I wasn’t aware
But I will keep hoping and holding out patience for you
Do I really wanna know if I even have a chance
I’ve been plastered to the phone
And I still wait on your romance
Call me back
Call me back
Call me back
Even if it’s just, even if it’s just to say goodbye
So it’s only been five days
But that seems like so long to be alone
I’ve been wondering what I’d say
But you won’t even take time
To sit down and pick up the phone
Call me back
I want you to call me back
Call me back
Even if it’s just, even if it’s just to say goodbye
Call me back
Call me back
I want you to call me back
Even if it’s just, even if its just to say goodbye
Call me back
I want you to call me back
I gotta, gotta, gotta call me back
Even if it’s just, even if its just to say goodbye
Now I find myself consumed with all the lovely things we said
Could you really been as busy as you had claimed
Or have you been soundin’ out my last name
So I will keep hoping and holding out patience for you
Did you get my message
I’m quite sure you never called back
Perhaps I’m just paranoid
I need to cut her some slack
Seems like everyone’s better at playin’ it cool
And I’ve always been bad at obeyin’ these rules
But as far as ladies go you come and go as you please
Do I really wanna know if I even have a choice
I’ve been plastered to the phone
And I just wait on your voice
Call me back
Call me back
Call me back
Even if it’s just, even if it’s just to say goodbye
I’ve been obsessing in ways that I usually do
And mostly I got obsessed with whether you got obsessed too
Did I simply imagine the chemistry there
Was it bad conversation I wasn’t aware
But I will keep hoping and holding out patience for you
Do I really wanna know if I even have a chance
I’ve been plastered to the phone
And I still wait on your romance
Call me back
Call me back
Call me back
Even if it’s just, even if it’s just to say goodbye
So it’s only been five days
But that seems like so long to be alone
I’ve been wondering what I’d say
But you won’t even take time
To sit down and pick up the phone
Call me back
I want you to call me back
Call me back
Even if it’s just, even if it’s just to say goodbye
Call me back
Call me back
I want you to call me back
Even if it’s just, even if its just to say goodbye
Call me back
I want you to call me back
I gotta, gotta, gotta call me back
Even if it’s just, even if its just to say goodbye

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

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,

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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.
One way or another, we've been through it -- the girl, or guy, just doesn't call you back. Eric manages to tell a short story capturing the humor side of it all, yet conveying that he's still very serious -- possibly obsessed. The catchy chorus and the beating piano makes the song all the more enjoyable.
