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.
Here's a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't Worry - Be Happy
In every life we have some trouble
But when you worry you make it Double
Don't Worry - Be Happy
Don't Worry - Be Happy now
Don't Worry - Be Happy
Don't Worry - Be Happy
Ain't got no place to lay your head,
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't Worry - Be Happy
The landlord say your rent is late,
He may have to litigate
Don't Worry - Be Happy
Look at Me - I'm Happy
Don't Worry - Be Happy
Here I give you my phone number
When you worry call me, I make you happy
Don't Worry - Be Happy
Ain't got not cash, ain't got no style,
Ain't got no gal to make you smile
Don't Worry - Be Happy
'Cause when you worry your face will frown
and that will bring everybody down
Don't Worry - Be Happy
Don't Worry, Don't Worry - Don't do it
Be Happy - Put a smile on your face
Don't bring everybody down
Don't Worry, it will soon pass, whatever it is
Don't Worry - Be Happy
I'm not worried, I'm happy...
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't Worry - Be Happy
In every life we have some trouble
But when you worry you make it Double
Don't Worry - Be Happy
Don't Worry - Be Happy now
Don't Worry - Be Happy
Don't Worry - Be Happy
Ain't got no place to lay your head,
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't Worry - Be Happy
The landlord say your rent is late,
He may have to litigate
Don't Worry - Be Happy
Look at Me - I'm Happy
Don't Worry - Be Happy
Here I give you my phone number
When you worry call me, I make you happy
Don't Worry - Be Happy
Ain't got not cash, ain't got no style,
Ain't got no gal to make you smile
Don't Worry - Be Happy
'Cause when you worry your face will frown
and that will bring everybody down
Don't Worry - Be Happy
Don't Worry, Don't Worry - Don't do it
Be Happy - Put a smile on your face
Don't bring everybody down
Don't Worry, it will soon pass, whatever it is
Don't Worry - Be Happy
I'm not worried, I'm happy...

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,

“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.
Another Love

I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.

This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”
this song makes me want to hug an elephant
haha
this song is the theme song to my life... i love it
this song kicks so much ass. love the feeling and the lyrics to it. makes you actually feel good.
2 things:
1st: This is a great song
2nd: How can someone possibly transcribe the lyrics of a spoken song incorrectly? It's happened here...
I think this song is saying that you should don't worry and you should be happy

REALLY DINGUS?! REALLY?? IS THAT WHAT IT's ABOUT?!
haha
I think the song means that even if there are many flaws and imperfections in life, doesn't mean that you should be sad. You should try and move on, and be happy.
im listning to it RIGHT NOW because im kinda sad and this song always cheers me up. dont sweat the small stuff!
Don't sweat the petty things, and don't pet the sweaty things.
FossilRoo has a good point, and I like this song, (it's a good whistler), but the main message seems like it's saying when you have problems, instead of doing something about them, you should ignore them and be happy. If my landlord, is going to sue me I'd worry instead of being happy for no reason. I know this isn't the message of the song, it's just the impression i get.
Nothing positive comes from negativity.
Tell THAT to someone I know:)
