Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
This is where I wanna be
When the violent sky just opens up
To reveal the sun
And shine a little light on our friends
Cause that'll be the day
When we're swimming through the rays in love
Making the most of what we got
Before it ends
This is your one chance
Hell if you'll waste it
I can't let it happen
I love you too much
Then you'll see
It's like rain on a beautiful day
All the clouds go away
And we're just singing and playing and alright
Then you'll know
No matter where the wind blows us
We've always got each other
And we're dancing this dance on time
This is where I wanna be
When that summer sun comes crashing down
And makes that autumn sound
That rings out and carries us through winter
Cause that's the only way
That we'll make it through the biting cold
Yeah, if we hold close to the warmth
That resonates in our bones
I know you're a lot stronger than
They give you credit for
Riding your vital signs to the floor
So you can get back up and beg for more
This is your one chance
Hell if you'll waste it
I can't let it happen
I love you too much
Then you'll see
It's like rain on a beautiful day
All the clouds go away
And we're just singing and playing and alright
Then you'll know
No matter where the wind blows us
We've always got each other
And we're dancing this dance on time
Feeling fine
It's true, it's true, it's true, it's true
It's true
What I'm saying could save you
It's true
What I'm saying could save you
It's true, it's true
It's true
What I'm saying could save you
Then you'll see
It's like rain on a beautiful day
All the clouds go away
And we're just singing and playing and alright
Then you'll know
No matter where the wind blows us
We've always got each other
And we're dancing this dance on time
This is your one chance
Hell if you'll waste it
I can't let it happen
I love you too much
No matter where the wind blows us
We've always got each other
And we're dancing this dance on time
This is your one chance
Hell if you'll waste it
I can't let it happen
I love you too much

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
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,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
These dudes are from kansas, n isaw at warped tour in KC. This is KINDA the only song I like by em, but I think it's self-explanitory.
