I've been standin here, for oh so long
Tryin to figure out girl, where we went wrong
Standin here, on the edge of time
Waitin for you, baby
I might change your mind, but

Maybe I'm a fool, still lovin you
Oh, and maybe I'm wrong, for still hangin on

'Cause you and me took the love so far
Had a beautiful thing that somehow went wrong
A whole lotta laughs have turned into tears
Turn your head around, we've been through some years, and

Maybe I'm a fool, and maybe you're right
But I'll never really change, and I don't want to fight

You say, No, no, no, no
You keep sayin No, not now
I say, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You keep no, no, no, no
But I can't let you go now baby
You got mad, I got mad, don't we really care...

Well now, maybe I'm a fool
Still lovin you
Oh, and maybe I'm wrong
'Cause I'm still hangin on, and

Maybe I'm a fool
And maybe you're right
But I'll never really change, and I don't want to fight

Maybe maybe, baby baby I'm a fool
Maybe maybe maybe I should stop lovin you
Huh, maybe I'm a fool, still lovin you
Oh, maybe I'm wrong, for still hangin on, I say

Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Woah-oh

I want to say again

Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Woah-oh

Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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,

Magical
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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
