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.
Broken shoulders
Resting on my back
Overloaded with
The weight stacked
Higher and higher
Time runs tired
Silence falls
Into the deafening
Silence of
My own epiphany
Silence falls
Into the deafening
Silence of
My own epiphany
My own mortality
Here I lay with my regrets
Possessions, petty meaningless
You were my medicine
Healing me with tenderness
Don't go
I don't know
Don't go
I don't know
Don't go
I don't know what is happening
What is happening
Is this the end?
Oh my God
Is this the end
Or just the beginning
Broken body
Crumbles into dust
Weight is lifted
Sending me with love
Higher and higher
Time expires
The silent come
Reawakening
Passing on
Into eternity
The silent come
Reawakening
Passing on
Into eternity
Cry no more for me
Crossing through
Fade into
Crossing through
Fade into
Crossing through
Face into
Crossing through
Fade into the light
Fade into the light
Crossing through
Crossing through
Fade into the light
Crossing through
Crossing through
Fade into the light
Resting on my back
Overloaded with
The weight stacked
Higher and higher
Time runs tired
Silence falls
Into the deafening
Silence of
My own epiphany
Silence falls
Into the deafening
Silence of
My own epiphany
My own mortality
Here I lay with my regrets
Possessions, petty meaningless
You were my medicine
Healing me with tenderness
Don't go
I don't know
Don't go
I don't know
Don't go
I don't know what is happening
What is happening
Is this the end?
Oh my God
Is this the end
Or just the beginning
Broken body
Crumbles into dust
Weight is lifted
Sending me with love
Higher and higher
Time expires
The silent come
Reawakening
Passing on
Into eternity
The silent come
Reawakening
Passing on
Into eternity
Cry no more for me
Crossing through
Fade into
Crossing through
Fade into
Crossing through
Face into
Crossing through
Fade into the light
Fade into the light
Crossing through
Crossing through
Fade into the light
Crossing through
Crossing through
Fade into the light

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Gentle Hour

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
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/
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
