This is the end.
Oh, This is the end.
Take heart dear friends, this is the end!

We were the perfect ones,
We were the perfect ones!
Let's go and celebrate sometime.
Maybe next week, all day, till nine.

I can pretend
We're only ten.
I am in love...

We were the perfect ones,
We'll fit the perfect glove.
Let's go and celebrate sometime.
Maybe next week, all day, till nine.

And I'll take my arrow and I'll shoot the dead
To make sure that they're in their place, and I'm at the head.
We have good times!
We're no strangers we drink all the time!

And I'll let my angel be your angel too...
Because I'm uneasy at times just like you.
We have good times!
We're no strangers we drink all the time!
We have good times!
We drink bottles and bottles of wine!

And I'll throw the fiery swords at the moon,
'Cause sometimes it's better to be darker in June.
We have good times!
We're no strangers we drink all the time!
We have good times!
We drink bottles and bottles of wine!
We have good times!
We are savvy, and so shall we dine!

What I can do...
What I can do!
What I can do,
What I can do...

    Wow, this song isnt really that cute.. its slightly morbid, and sounds a bit bipolar.. it goes from being in love, to a breakup? and maybe a drinking problem? then seems to go back to happiness. maybe because of the alcohol? either way, this song sounds pretty well thought out.

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.
