Bring me my son..
Now!
Bring me my son!

I sit still in a white room
Bathed in fluorescence
Been watching a clock on the wall
And counting the seconds

9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1!

Bring me my son!

I saw you die
So I sailed right to your body
I could do nothing but stare at your blood
Your fingers erect as my dying love

Pain, Fate,
Change
Before it's too late
Pain, Fate,
Rage
Against the dying of the light

I'm watching the small square window
Your body on the table
Your blood touches every surface
I can do nothing to stop this

9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1!

Bring me my son!

I saw you die
So I sailed right to your body
I could do nothing but stare at your blood
Your fingers erect as my dying love

Pain, Fate,
Change
Before it's too late
Pain, Fate,
Rage
Against the dying of the light

    Is this song about surgery? The place he is at sounds like a hospital and maybe his son doesn't survive an accident or something.

    I agree, it sounds like he's watching his son's surgery after finding him after an accident.

Silent Planet
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,

Blue
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.
