Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Do do wap is strong in here
Do do wap is strong in here
Do do wap to find yourself creamin'
Check your fears and hope that you're dreamin'
A little space is all that I need
If these suckers just allow me to breathe
My woman's candy makin' him sick
When I cop there won't be nothin' to lick
Give her some of all the hard, hard pain
Make her achin' body call for my name
My woman know my passion of needs
So save some of mine if you please
Got to give it up, don't desert
If you leave me, babe, know you would hurt, hey
Do do wap is strong in here
Do do wap is strong in here
Do do wap is strong in here
Do do wap is strong in here
Wakin' up to find yourself creamin'
Check your fears and hope that you're dreamin'
A little space is all that I need
If these suckers just allow me to breathe
Snake pits and Lucifers burns
Can't take the strength I've earned and learned
Stepped in depth of the same livin' hell
Ain't too proud to die here as well
Do do wap is strong in here
Do do wap is strong
Do do wap, hey, hey
Do do wap strong in here, hey, hey
Do do wap, hey, hey
Do do wap, hey, hey
Do do wap is strong in here
Do do wap is strong
Do do wap, hey, hey
Do do wap is strong in here
Do do wap is strong
Do do wap, hey, hey
Do do wap is strong in here
Do do wap is strong
Do do wap, do do wap, do do wap
Do do wap is strong in here
Do do wap to find yourself creamin'
Check your fears and hope that you're dreamin'
A little space is all that I need
If these suckers just allow me to breathe
My woman's candy makin' him sick
When I cop there won't be nothin' to lick
Give her some of all the hard, hard pain
Make her achin' body call for my name
My woman know my passion of needs
So save some of mine if you please
Got to give it up, don't desert
If you leave me, babe, know you would hurt, hey
Do do wap is strong in here
Do do wap is strong in here
Do do wap is strong in here
Do do wap is strong in here
Wakin' up to find yourself creamin'
Check your fears and hope that you're dreamin'
A little space is all that I need
If these suckers just allow me to breathe
Snake pits and Lucifers burns
Can't take the strength I've earned and learned
Stepped in depth of the same livin' hell
Ain't too proud to die here as well
Do do wap is strong in here
Do do wap is strong
Do do wap, hey, hey
Do do wap strong in here, hey, hey
Do do wap, hey, hey

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,
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I think this song is about a place where the do do wap is strong. I may be wrong.
