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.
All about Ronnie,
There's so much to tell!
All about Ronnie,
I know him so well!
His magical fingers,
Their sense of embrace;
His whisper that lingers,
Caressing you face.
All about Ronnie,
Best told in a toast;
Let me propose it,
He's my favourite host!
We'll drink from dry glasses,
There's no need for wine!
The champagne is Ronnie,
And Ronnie is mine!
There's so much to tell!
All about Ronnie,
I know him so well!
His magical fingers,
Their sense of embrace;
His whisper that lingers,
Caressing you face.
All about Ronnie,
Best told in a toast;
Let me propose it,
He's my favourite host!
We'll drink from dry glasses,
There's no need for wine!
The champagne is Ronnie,
And Ronnie is mine!

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,
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Not a chart hit, but still a hit of Connor's. Such a sweet, romantic tune about a guy she loved named Ronnie. She didn't need the wine to toast Ronnie as he was so special he was the champagne! The second stanza is actually quite sensual for the time period...magical fingers; sense of embrace; whisper that lingers; etc....gives me chills just hearing it. Provides the visuals of soft talking in the bedroom late at night with soft music playing in the background as she lies on her side and he uses his fingers to trace the silhouette of her body. Yummy. You go, Chris! (She died in 2009, but her music at least lives on:)
