From California to Houston, on Lightspeed (feat. Isaac Brock)

The Six Parts Seven

I knew these people
These two people
They were in love with each other

Nothing is easy I know
Nothing is easy I know
Nothing is easy I know
Nothing is easy I know

It’s been a pleasure I’m sure
Will you be around long enough
So that I can say I told you so
‘Cuz I’m getting used to you now

Nothing is easy I know

Yeah it’s all worth it I’d hope
Do it, don’t rehearse it
And don’t you worry
I can let myself out

Nothing is easy I know
Nothing is easy I know

Oh what the hell’d you expect?
Did you think life would write you a check?
And say, ‘don’t you worry
I’ll handle the rest because

Nothing is easy I know'

I knew these people
These two people

    This is an amazing song that Isaac Brock covered... I think it's about life and- shit... that's deep;

    To me this song is about a relationship that grows apart over time and they inevitably go their own separate ways

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,

Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Just A Little Lovin'
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/

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.
