"Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen and welcome to the Dan Brock Memorial Stadium! Are you ready for an afternoon of baseball? I hope you are because it's Geoff Moore and the Distance, going up against the big guy, the Prince of Darkness (Darkness)!
It's been quiet on evolution with Geoff Moore and the Distance. That's why it's brought them to the game today.
So I want you to kick back and enjoy a fun-filled afternoon on baseball(baseball)!
The teams are assembled, are you ready?

PLAY BALL!"

The lights go on, another game day
I grabbed my bat, and headed for the plate
But the first pitch was a curve, and I was done

(Umpire) Strike One!

I stepped out of the box, looked the pitcher in the eye
You could read his lips, hey punk you're mine
So I have him a wave and said let's see what you can do

(Umpire) Strike Two!

Gotta keep my eye on the ball
Swing straight and true and follow through
And don't be afraid, whatever the call
Because we're never alone, our coach is there to cheer is on

Well, it's the wind-up
Here comes that ball
You've gotta pray and swing, watch it till its goin, goin, its gone

Oh, ohho, ohh, oh
Oh, ohho, ohh, oh
Oh, oh we need a home run
Oh, ohho, ohh, oh
Oh, ohho, ohh, oh
Oh, oh we need a home run

You know life can be like a baseball game
We're on the same team but we're not all the same
That's why we've gotta learn to play together

I didn't join this team just to sit on the bench
I'm going deep, swinging for the fence
I got some friends on base, I gotta get home

Gotta keep my eye on the ball
Swing straight and true and follow through
And don't be afraid, whatever the call
Because we're never alone, our coach is there to cheer is on

Well, it's the wind-up
Here comes that ball
You've gotta pray and swing, watch it till its goin, goin, its gone

Oh, ohho, ohh, oh
Oh, ohho, ohh, oh
Oh, oh I want a home run
Oh, ohho, ohh, oh
Oh, ohho, ohh, oh
Oh, oh I want a home run

We are not the first to play this game, to stand over this plate
We are surrounded be the legacy
I see 'em sittin' in the stands
I can see them wavin their hands
Sayin go, go, all the way

(Umpire) "it's going, it's going, it's going,
Oh my! I'ts out of here! That baby is gone(gone)!"

Come on now,


Oh, ohho, ohh, oh
Oh, ohho, ohh, oh
Oh, ohho, ohh, home run

Hey its gone, gone now


Oh, ohho, ohh, oh
Oh, ohho, ohh, oh
Oh, ohho, ohh, home run

Hey its a homerun


Oh, ohho, ohh, oh
Oh, ohho, ohh, oh
Oh, ohho, ohh, home run

Batter bat, batter bat, its gone


Oh, ohho, ohh, oh
Oh, ohho, ohh, oh
Oh, ohho, ohh, home run

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
