Pas vraiment un hasard, ce goût des lunettes noires
Oh, y a pas plus bavard qu'un regard
On vous a dit tout p'tit, les bons points et les fautes
Moi, j'ai appris la vie dans le regard des autres

Y en a des froids, des durs qui te veulent du mal
Des qui te clouent au mur à la Lauren Bacall
J'en ai vu des si clairs, si purs et si profonds
Que j'ai donné, misère, l'bon Dieu sans confession

Y en a qui te jugent, précis, sans indulgence,
Comme un combat de rue dans le froid, dans l'urgence
Et les tendres et discrets dans un battement de cils
Qui te disent : "Je sais : c'est pas toujours facile"

J'y vois ce que je suis, ce que je ne suis plus
C'est le livre où je lis tout c'que j'ai jamais lu
Et si je parle peu dans vos conversations
Regarde-moi dans les yeux, je te dirai ton nom

Y en a des obliques, ceux des chiens de faïence,
Y a les regards suppliques, y a les regards offenses
J'y ai lu du désir, de l'envie, du mépris
Et parfois du plaisir, parfois, c'est c'que j'ai dit

J'y ai vu des appels plus stridents que des cris,
Les phrases les plus belles, plus sûres que par écrit
Ils te disent l'amour, ils te disent la haine
Bien mieux qu'aucun je t'aime, bien mieux qu'aucun discours

Tu peux changer de pays, même changer de visage
Mais ton regard te suit, signé comme un tatouage
Si même les plus saints avaient besoin d'apôtres
C'est que personne n'est rien, sans le regard des autres

Y a ceux qui te cherchent, y a ceux qui te hantent
Ceux que tu espères et tous ceux qui te manquent
Regarde-moi dans les yeux, regarde-moi dans les yeux
Dans les yeux

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

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,

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.
