I know!
Raised before the sky bleeds
For we are, we are light!
I wallow but I'm not sorry at all!

The planet smasher
A creature with a voice so powerful
One word can destroy galaxies, universes!
One utterance of the most powerful sonic force of anything
Anywhere can defeat blattaria!

Way out in space and far from home
Who's the maker? who's the man?
Who's the maker? who's the man?
It's your way out

Raise before the night bleeds
A man will come and be flown away
Come forth as the time needs
Free in the universe

Night, the infinite darkness. the death of a star
These things will all come to pass unless ziltoid and the humans are victorious

We're on our way follow!
All gone astray? we fly!

Legend has spoken of the planet smasher in hushed tones
The size of 50 elephants, a huge gaping maw baring rows of dagger-like teeth!
Claws that could tear a human in half with a single, effortless swipe!
Eyes that burn like a hellish furnace!! get a hold of yourselves, humans
And prepare. he. is. coming!

Coming to earth, coming to earth, coming to earth

On the horizon, a looming shadow begins to appear
The planet smasher

Coming to earth, coming to earth, coming to earth
Coming to earth, coming to earth, coming to earth
Coming to earth, coming to earth, coming to earth
Coming to earth, coming to earth, coming to earth

He has arrived!

He's so cute! haha!
No, no, no he's terrifying!
No, no, no just look at him! he's so fuzzy!
No, seriously, don't provoke him!

Well, as it turns out, the planet smasher is just a little guy
Furry, and about the size of a football
And with the most adorable little toes you could just eat them up!

The stage is set
The immensely powerful, though admittedly cute as a button planet smasher
Is wielded carefully by the humans ziltoid leads the army
And it has been decided that he will be given the weapon at the right moment
Ziltoid is the only one capable of summoning the smasher's mighty roar
But is even he strong enough?

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,

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
