Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
Peace will come to me
Peace will come to me
I'm leaving bitterness behind
This time I'm cleaning up my mind
There is no space for the regrets
I will remember to forget
Just look at me
I am walking love incarnate
Look at the frequencies of which I vibrate
I'm going to light up the world
Peace will come to me
Peace will come to me
I'm leaving anger in the past
With all the shadows that it cast
There is radar in my heart
I should have trusted from the start
Just look at me
I am a living act of holiness
Giving all the positivity that I possess
I'm going to light up the world
Peace will come to me
Just wait and see
Peace will come to me
It's meant to be
Peace will come to me
Just wait and see
Peace will come to me
It's inevitability
Peace will come to me
I'm leaving bitterness behind
This time I'm cleaning up my mind
There is no space for the regrets
I will remember to forget
Just look at me
I am walking love incarnate
Look at the frequencies of which I vibrate
I'm going to light up the world
Peace will come to me
Peace will come to me
I'm leaving anger in the past
With all the shadows that it cast
There is radar in my heart
I should have trusted from the start
Just look at me
I am a living act of holiness
Giving all the positivity that I possess
I'm going to light up the world
Peace will come to me
Just wait and see
Peace will come to me
It's meant to be
Peace will come to me
Just wait and see
Peace will come to me
It's inevitability

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.
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 the lyrics are: 'Just look at me, I am walking love incarnate' and 'With all the shadows that it cast'
=) Love this song, it's so....peaceful
I have the feeling "Peace" is a sequel to "Wrong". Whilst "Wrong" was filled with self-disappointment; "Peace" seems like a release from that negative state: accepting the past and going for a better future. Two extremes, if you ask me.
Also... are you sure it's not "I'm leaving anger in the past / With all the shadows that it CAST " instead of "caused"?
i agree with you. a grudge of any sort can only destroy. only when you let go of a bad situation, can one truly be at peace.
@CynicalTruth O contraire, my friend: to me Peace seems to be more of an ironic statement wherein the singer addresses those who always tell him to be 'more positive', and to 'stop being such a downer' or something. Listened to from this perspective, the song gives off a similar attitude to that showcased in 'Wrong'. Mind you, I don't have much proof for this, and it is only my personal interpretation, but what gave it away for me was the sheer pain and force with which Gahan sings 'Just look at me, I am walking love incarnate, look at the frequencies with which I vibrate'. These lines sound powerful, not peaceful, and they seem to have a lot of pain behind them. As if the singer is saying "Look at me! I'm FINE! Are you happy now?! Look, I'm being POSITIVE for you! Now fuck off."
Doesn't the music in the first part remind you of The Beatles' "Across the Universe"? It may even have something to do with the title of the album.
To find some peace after bad life; to be clean and face a new life in a healthy way, but always meditating about the past; great tune, DM brand in the 21st century, true survivors of the 80s.
Godlike song. Both neutralizing, somniferous, astonishing and motivating.
a very uplifting song...it really lifts your spirits
love this song
// I'm leaving anger in the past With all the shadows that it caused There is radar in my heart I should have trusted from the start //
I like this passage very much.
It seems to me that Peace deals with inner-peace. You have to look inside of you to reach peace that transcends yourself. It begins with you, then you can deal with world outside...
