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.
한 밤 널 그리워하다
두 밤 널 기다리다가
세 밤 널 찾아 나서다
그만 눈물이 나서 울었어
우리 헤어진 걸 알아
다신 만날 수가 없는 걸 알아
다만 한 번쯤 네가 보고 싶은데
어떻게 사는지 궁금해 지는데
나비야 나비야 너를 를 부르던 그 말
날 보며 웃어주던 행복했던 그 날
그리워 그리워 네 얼굴이 그리워
하루만 더 자고 나면 내 눈에 보일까
우리 사랑한 게 맞아
그러다가 그만 끝난 게 맞아
항상 사랑한 기억 떠오를 때면
괜스레 웃다가 결국엔 울잖아
나비야 나비야 너를 부르던 그 말
날 보며 웃어주던 행복했던 그 날
그리워 그리워 네 얼굴이 그리워
하루만 더 자고 나면 내 눈에 내 눈에 보일까
나비야 나비야 너를 부르던 그 말
날 보며 웃어주던 행복했던 그 날, 오
그리워 그리워 네 얼굴이 그리워
하루만 더 자고 나면 내 눈에 보일까
두 밤 널 기다리다가
세 밤 널 찾아 나서다
그만 눈물이 나서 울었어
우리 헤어진 걸 알아
다신 만날 수가 없는 걸 알아
다만 한 번쯤 네가 보고 싶은데
어떻게 사는지 궁금해 지는데
나비야 나비야 너를 를 부르던 그 말
날 보며 웃어주던 행복했던 그 날
그리워 그리워 네 얼굴이 그리워
하루만 더 자고 나면 내 눈에 보일까
우리 사랑한 게 맞아
그러다가 그만 끝난 게 맞아
항상 사랑한 기억 떠오를 때면
괜스레 웃다가 결국엔 울잖아
나비야 나비야 너를 부르던 그 말
날 보며 웃어주던 행복했던 그 날
그리워 그리워 네 얼굴이 그리워
하루만 더 자고 나면 내 눈에 내 눈에 보일까
나비야 나비야 너를 부르던 그 말
날 보며 웃어주던 행복했던 그 날, 오
그리워 그리워 네 얼굴이 그리워
하루만 더 자고 나면 내 눈에 보일까

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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 song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
While the song is definitely about their breaking the group up. Metamorphosing from a chrysalis into a butterfly is a reference to the fact that none of the three members believe they have actually been able to do what they wanted to do musically as a-ha. As they go their separate ways they'll be able to finally become "butterflies".
Additionally, there have been many disagreements and fights through the years (who wouldn't in a 25 year relationship - i'ts far longer than most marriages last). They reference these with:
"Over thinking every little thing Acknowledge the bell you can't unring
Tomorrow, you don't have to say what you're thinking You don't have to mean what you say "
They got tired of being careful around each other and having to watch how they talked - for a while the band members did not actually speak to each other directly, but only through their individual representatives, so toxic had their relationship become.
The last verse speaks to the fact that they have nothing more to say as a group other than this very song, "the last hurrah."
From reading much about the group, Mags and Pal were doing the heavy lifting by writing the songs and most of the lyrics, yet since the beginning, it was Morten who got all the attention - he was, after all, insanely handsome and he was the voice of the group. There was a lot of resentment toward Morten, who didn't help himself by having quite the ego.
Then there is the fact that type of music that produced hits for them was not the kind of music that Mags and Pal really wanted to write.
So, as much as I'll miss a-ha, they lasted a long time and went out on a high note.
@traincollector Well, they must like each other again because they are back together since 2015 with a new album (a great one IMO), the Unplugged show/CD and finishing the 2nd tour and will be starting another one in the summer since then.
