Finale

Funeral Party

I always knew we would end up just like this
so pour me one last drink with a final kiss
things always end up in a miss
i'd love to tell you yeah lets reminisce

And all the words that we couldn't say
in the backyards where we never stayed
and so your parents are home again
i'm so sorry that it had to end

and we'll run back where we started from
we're never leavin yeah we just begun
supplies were endless but we just have none
you sleep your whole life and you called it fun

so wake up cannibal[?] out your eye
we're movin, fallow, we cannot spy[?]
ah come on dug a plan out, so show me your way
so come on we're getting closer at everyday

your singin
we are the voices under the tracks
drawing you forward, pushing you back
we are the voices under the tracks
drawing you forward, pushing you back

and your hairs all grey and your shoes are worn
and the books you've read with the pages torn
you stay[..] with a person you never knew
it told you what to look forward to

and the place you never get away
in the times that your movin you will not stay

we're getting forward yes let her go
we're movin out and it gonna be hard 'cause

we are the voices under the tracks
drawing you forward, pushing you back [x10]

    From Funeral Party's Finale video:

    i always knew we would end up just like this so pour me one last drink with a final kiss things always end up in a miss i'd love to tell you oh lets reminisce

    And all the words that we couldn't say in the backyards where we used to stay the parents are on the way home again so sorry that it had to end

    and now we're right back where we started from we're never leavin no we just begun supplies are endless but we just have none you sleep your whole life and you called it fun

    so wake up kid realize your life we're movin closer to your demise your getting out of familiar ways so world and stars and it's gonna stay

    and we're singin ohhh you are young, so am i set my heads and we can try[?] you are young and so am i we'll do all we want and take it while we lie, while we lie

    and now your hairs is grey and your shoes are worn and the books you've read with the pages torn you found one person you never knew it told you what to look forward to

    and when you woke up in your sad demise you're movin closer to the end of your life

    we're getting out of your way we're movin out at the end of days

    cause we are the voices under the tracks drawing you forward, pushing you back [x10]

    I'm so happy this band has come so far already, can't wait for their debut album I use to watch them in backyards and at shows for only $5, but to see them on tours now is amazing I hope they remain themselves and keep doing what they are doing, putting out great music

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
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,

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.
