Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Well I call this room to order
Gather 'round now, hear my song
If you're drunk or at its border
Listen well, this won't take long
There's no doubt in fortune's favour
When it tells you you're the one
The meal real fruits of your labour
Will be sown by you alone
Oh good life of singing
Good life of song
Won't you grant us our full measure
When our day is done
Oh good wine and women
Good night's so long
Won't you ease us through our toiling
The road is very long
After long weeks in the corner
Where the wine won't make you drunk
But you held your place with honour
Among the bards and the troubadours
This is no roam and lamentation
No ode to those who are gone
But a joyful incantation
To the road we've come upon
Oh good life of singing
Good life of song
Won't you ease us through our toiling
The road is very long
Oh good wine and women
Good nights so long
Won't you grant us our full measure
For now we must go on
Must go on
Good life of singing
Good life of song
Good life of singing
Good life of song
Good life of singing
Good life of song
Go tell it on a mountain
Let them know we passed this way
Let them see we came as equals
Let them know we weren't afraid
And they feel you're love of music
In every note you play
Well it leaves you if you don't use it
Don't let it slip away
Oh good life of singing
Good life of song
How you granted us our measure
When our work was done
Oh good days of drinking
Good nights so long
How you eased us through our toiling
For now we must go on
Must go on
Good life of singing
Good life of song
Good life of singing
Good life of song
Good life of singing
Good life of song
Good life of singing
Good life so long
Gather 'round now, hear my song
If you're drunk or at its border
Listen well, this won't take long
There's no doubt in fortune's favour
When it tells you you're the one
The meal real fruits of your labour
Will be sown by you alone
Oh good life of singing
Good life of song
Won't you grant us our full measure
When our day is done
Oh good wine and women
Good night's so long
Won't you ease us through our toiling
The road is very long
After long weeks in the corner
Where the wine won't make you drunk
But you held your place with honour
Among the bards and the troubadours
This is no roam and lamentation
No ode to those who are gone
But a joyful incantation
To the road we've come upon
Oh good life of singing
Good life of song
Won't you ease us through our toiling
The road is very long
Oh good wine and women
Good nights so long
Won't you grant us our full measure
For now we must go on
Must go on
Good life of singing
Good life of song
Good life of singing
Good life of song
Good life of singing
Good life of song
Go tell it on a mountain
Let them know we passed this way
Let them see we came as equals
Let them know we weren't afraid
And they feel you're love of music
In every note you play
Well it leaves you if you don't use it
Don't let it slip away
Oh good life of singing
Good life of song
How you granted us our measure
When our work was done
Oh good days of drinking

How you eased us through our toiling
For now we must go on
Must go on
Good life of singing
Good life of song
Good life of singing
Good life of song
Good life of singing
Good life of song
Good life of singing
Good life so long

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.

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,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
I have anxiety problems. God is my rock and the only way I have been able to get over a lot of it. This song helps as well.
This song, for me, is a song about letting someone know you are there for them, to let them know not to give up on hope. The writer is telling the person they are right beside them and will be there for them while they go through whatever it is they are going through. It is a song of hope, of love and of courage. It is also showing that the writer is going to be there no matter what "just stay close to me..." - as if to say, they've felt the same way too and know just how difficult it is to find the way, but with courage and strength of this person beside them, they can find their way too. It's a beautiful song and if dedicated, can make one feel extremely encouraged to keep trying. I know it did that for me. <3
Glen said he wrote this for a friend of his who had cancer. It's about gathering up the courage to face something difficult and get through it, and supporting someone who is going through that journey.
