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.
Would I fall under that spell again
I don't think so anymore
But I don't know what's written
I'll be there anyway
Call it love I guess, hotter than the sun
You can appreciate it
Oh say hey what you know
I don't know how to let it go
Say hey what you know
Wish you knew what I was thinking
Hey watch me now
I know how to level you, hey
What you gonna say? What you gonna say?
Hollar now you want it
Gonna see, see how do you love again?
Higher than the stars
You're covered in my hands tonight
(Oh baby)
Hollar now you want it
Gonna see, see how do you love again?
Covered by the dark, no light
You're covered in my hands tonight
Oh, see all the things that surround you are full of love
Brighter than the stars
So why all those cold dark hours?
Oh say hey what you know
I don't know how to let it go
Hold on to what you're told
But I don't know what you've been thinking
Hey what'd you know
Guess I don't know anything,
Won't see you again my love
You say forever, can't touch it
It's harder than hell cause I want to
Hollar now you want it
Gonna see, see how do you love again?
Higher than the stars
You're covered in my hands tonight
(Oh baby)
Hollar now you want it
Gonna see, see how do you love again?
Covered by the dark, no light
You're covered in my hands tonight (oh baby)
Hollar now you want it
Gonna see, see how do you love again?
Covered by the dark, no light
But you're covered in my hands tonight (oh baby)
I don't think so anymore
But I don't know what's written
I'll be there anyway
Call it love I guess, hotter than the sun
You can appreciate it
Oh say hey what you know
I don't know how to let it go
Say hey what you know
Wish you knew what I was thinking
Hey watch me now
I know how to level you, hey
What you gonna say? What you gonna say?
Hollar now you want it
Gonna see, see how do you love again?
Higher than the stars
You're covered in my hands tonight
(Oh baby)
Hollar now you want it
Gonna see, see how do you love again?
Covered by the dark, no light
You're covered in my hands tonight
Oh, see all the things that surround you are full of love
Brighter than the stars
So why all those cold dark hours?
Oh say hey what you know
I don't know how to let it go
Hold on to what you're told
But I don't know what you've been thinking
Hey what'd you know
Guess I don't know anything,
Won't see you again my love
You say forever, can't touch it
It's harder than hell cause I want to
Hollar now you want it
Gonna see, see how do you love again?
Higher than the stars
You're covered in my hands tonight
(Oh baby)
Hollar now you want it
Gonna see, see how do you love again?
Covered by the dark, no light
You're covered in my hands tonight (oh baby)
Hollar now you want it
Gonna see, see how do you love again?
Covered by the dark, no light
But you're covered in my hands tonight (oh baby)

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
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.
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/
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.
Ugh they're good. I love music.
i love this song!!!
Someone did a shit job of copying and pasting lyrics, typos included -- just sayin'.
I like this one, too. UHH's catchier songs tend to suffer lyrically, but this one's really great.
Uh Huh Her are absolutely incredible. I knew I liked this song the first time I heard it; but it has slowly become one of my favorite songs of all time. Like, I can't even begin to describe what listening to this song does for me.
To me its about falling in love. How do you turn it off/on? Does it ever last forever? Would you want it to? To be illuminated one must first be in the dark. To appreciate the beauty you have to experience the ugly too.
