This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
My daddy hated that rock and roll
So I know I wasn't supposed to go
To the loud devil music show
But I wound up in the snake pit with my best friend
And when the lights came up
We both decided that we'd try our luck
And gettin' back to where the real show was
We were backstage under age hangin' with the drummer
When a big dude attitude grabbed me by the collar
I looked at him and said, "its all good brother"
I'm with the band
Hired on as a local stage hand
The one in charge of the microphone stands
And the lead singer told me to get one
In his dressing room
We might even have a beer or two
Don't worry bout the backstage pass
Man its cool...
I'm with the band
I'm with the band
I cant believe we made it this far
Country singin' bangin' loud guitars
The biggest stages to the smallest bars
We were cold beer drinkin' what was thinkin'
Just the other night a the after party
Rockin' just right
This little country girl caught my eye
She was backstage legal stage
Hangin' with the drummer
When a big dude attitude grabbed her by the collar
I looked at him and said, "its all good brother"
Shes with the band
Hired on as a local stage hand
The one in charge of the microphone stand
And the lead singer told her to get one
In his dressing room
We might even have a beer or two
Don't worry bout the backstage pass
Man its cool...
Shes with the band
Well tomorrow its another town,
But you know we like the party crowd,
So if you got the right stuff we'll meet you on the bus
But you better get the lingo down
Just tell him
That your with the band
Hired on as a local stage hand
You know we gotta lot of microphone stand
And the lead singer told you to get one
In his dressing room
We might even have a beer or two
Don't worry bout the backstage pass
Y'all its cool
[Repeat x2]
Your with the band
Your with the band
So I know I wasn't supposed to go

We both decided that we'd try our luck
And gettin' back to where the real show was
We were backstage under age hangin' with the drummer
When a big dude attitude grabbed me by the collar
I looked at him and said, "its all good brother"
I'm with the band
Hired on as a local stage hand
The one in charge of the microphone stands
And the lead singer told me to get one

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.
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/
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.
