You crawl to me and I crawl to you
And in the middle we meet
You drink from me and I swallow you
Cause in my heart the rent is cheap

I've been staying up way too late
You wanna love me girl don't hesitate
I've been staying up
And I've been waking up
Pray this world will see me now as you do
I've never looked so good

I crawl through this city
And I'm looking for you
I chase the darkened streets
I call your name darling
Cause its all I can do
I swing to you my sweet


I've been staying up way too late
You wanna love me girl don't hesitate
I've been staying up
And I've been waking up
Pray this world will see me now as you do
I've never looked so good

And if there's a reason to run
Will you run right back to me?
And if there's nowhere to go
Will you come?
Come to me
Come to me

I've been staying up way too late
You wanna love me girl don't hesitate
I've been staying up
And I've been waking up
Pray this world will see me now as you do
And if it was mine
I'd give it all to you
I pray this world will see me now as you do
I've never looked so good

    This song sounds a lot like Friend of the Devil by The Grateful dead, but Alex's voice sounds so pure here. I really love this song. Grows on me with each listen. You can tell its just raw unedited vocals. Fuck autotune. This is a real singer.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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,

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/

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.
