Hear me, yeah, yeah, ah ha hmm hear what, hear what, hear what

Watch the way that people change
Flip the script and rearrange
Hoping they can just belong
Even when it's wrong uh-huh.
Searching for identity
What's the next philosophy?
What's the next big thing in town?
That they can surround?

Watch the way that people go
To the cat that runs the show
Next thing they are rolling thick
Down with that clique .hmmm!
Soon enough they act the same
Walk the same and talk the same
Until these so called inspired
State the look is tired

Let me hear you say

Don't feel no shame
Let them know you're not the same
Don't feel no way
You stand tall while people sway
True to yourself
Leave them fakers on the shelf
Heed your calling
Go and do your thing
Hear me?

Get up get up and hold your ground
You don't care what goes around
Stand up, stand up and hold your ground
Hold your ground
Dem no bigger than us
No bigger than we
No bigger than you
No bigger than me
Dem no bigger than us
No bigger than we
No bigger than you
No bigger than me

Get up and stand up and hold it
Get up, get up
Yeah
You gotta gotta
Stand up stand up
Stand up for me
Get up get up
Alright
You gotta gotta
Stand up stand up
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh-huh (x 10)
Get up and stand up and hold it ( x3)
Feel it!!

Don't feel no shame
Let them know you're not the same
Don't feel no way
You stand tall while people sway
True to yourself
Leave them fakers on the shelf
Heed your calling
Go and do your thing
Hear me?

Get up get up and hold your ground
You don't care what goes around
Stand up, stand up and hold your ground
Hold your ground
Dem no bigger than us
No bigger than we
No bigger than you
No bigger than me
Dem no bigger than us
No bigger than we
No bigger than you
No bigger than me

Dreamwalker
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.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
