Heartless

Lisa Marie Presley

I watch you in the morning but you would never know
I watch you like a Satellite though I let you go
I will be watching you I know your watching too
A whisper in the hallway corners of my mind
I hear you out there whispering but you can't read the signs,
I hear you whispering I hope you're listening

(Chorus)

I'm Heartless
I'm Heartless
I'm Heartless again

I wish I'd been a runner so I could run from you
I made a million wishes but not one of them came true
I keep on wishing you you keep on wishing too
I wait for resolution but it will never come
I want to wake up free of you not knowing where you've gone but I wont let you through
Why would I wait for you

(Chorus)
I'm Heartless

Bridge
Oh nail it to your heartbeat nail it to your soul
Oh blame it on the surface you don't need to know

I'm Heartless
I'm Heartless
I'm Heartless again

    I love this woman's personality! I'm not into her music, but I enjoy watching her, there's something simply beautiful about her.

    Like most of the songs on Storm & Grace, this is likely about Michael Jackson

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,

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

Amazing
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.

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.
