Mis manos y estas calles son láminas de hielo.
Te busco perdido por San Telmo,
colgado de los cables que unen los tejados.

La lluvia cae como una vieja canción de los Stones,
como el ángel que empujaron de un avión.
Y siempre es jueves en la Plaza de Mayo.

Te busco tras el vaho de un cristal del colectivo
y, en la cena, los malvados de mis amigos
me preguntan una y otra vez por ti.

Y caen los rostros en los charcos de Corrientes,
bajo hojas secas guarda sus sueños la gente.
Y en la tormenta, senadores que escapan,
cristales rotos frente a la Casa Rosada.

Los autos pasan lentos como una manada de elefantes,
en lo oscuro una mujer me ofrece mate
y Charlie salta por mí desde un rascacielos.

Hoy Boca gana y una joven que me recuerda a ti
hace las maletas. El FMI te desnuda en el peor invierno.

Hoy te he dejado grabada esta ciudad en el contestador.
De fondo se oye, cada día canta mejor,
siglo veinte, cambalache, problemático y febril.

Y tarareas una canción de los Redondos.
Hoy iré al río, te buscaré en el fondo.
Mafalda juega a la guerra nuclear.
Iré a San Telmo, hoy te tengo que encontrar.

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.

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.

Blue
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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
