This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I’m dead in my mother’s eyes,
this band barely keeps me alive,
this band is the source of all my troubles,
all worries.
This battleship has struck the tide,
it’s sailors thrown up on my side,
black water flows through
all I know and all I know is burials.
Oh! No future? I’ll risk it.
At least the risks we take are as a unit.
When all we’ve got is pride,
my futures upped and died,
I’ll cherish every second we’re together.
I won’t remember all the starlight in your skies,
I’ll just remember all the black tar round your waistband,
we pushed the bodies in the lake but it’s a train wreck,
we never tangle with the weak.
No future? I’ll risk it.
At least the risks we take are as a unit.
When all we’ve got is pride,
my futures upped and died,
I’ll cherish every second we’re together.
When all we’ve got is pride,
my futures upped and died
but god it left a corpse so pretty.
Cherish every second with you.

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,
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
