Returning from the water, cold, alive, and shining
Rock a mike in the afterlife while your moon is rising
Heatin' up, forcing steam, whirling to be seen
The dark held stars are the frost of my breathing
Swimming through the darkness, I'm a ghostly shark
Developing like a photograph, slowly in the dark
The hereafter, the action, the main attraction
One love in all of this that I'm going after

Now there's fire inside, but black space surrounds you
You think, "Where, oh, where am I" but even your light continues
See through us, see a soul we have not yet
Learned to harness, see the next world inside it
We are the people of skin who left water
Inside the dark womb, inside of our mother
Prone to the beat and vibe of our tribe
We catch the drift and ride moving tides
Out from a love that will keep on burning
Now see yourself to the next world, returning
This life, an old place we face to live again
What is it to understand the hereafter?

    Dr. Doug kicks out the warmest jam, proving to the listeners that he is the smoothest lyricist since mix master mike. The fluid vocals are on par with the solos and fillls the rest of the crew brings along. The excellence is in the fact that the song doesn't climax at any one point, but unravels, unveiling a wave genious grooves. ....cause this is how we do > 311 keep on keep'n on.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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,

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.
