The long way of distress
They call me from their void
I try to ignore them
They've never came so close

Darling, oh darling
Fear's coming up my back
Slowly, slowly
'Cus all is covered in black

Black sun is rising
While dawn reflect in my eyes
Dragging across up the mountain
The cloud walks just behind

Darling oh darling
It is the judgement day
Listen, listen
Hear what the wizard tells

The victims are screaming
No sign of grace of god
The spell of witchcrafts magic
Until they lost their souls

Darling oh darling
I never go back there
Never, never
'Cus all is covered in black

    The "Black sun" is a symbol sometimes associated with Nazis and neo-nazis, but also an esoteric/occult symbol adopted by neopagans. I don't see any Nazi or right-wing themes in Kadavar's lyrics though and would say that in this case it's just an image meant to communicate doom and hopelessness. This song lyrically reminds me of Black Sabbath's War Pigs, Electric Funeral, or especially the song Black Sabbath -- a vision of pure doom.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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,

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.
