    I don't think there really is a deeper meaning to this. I think he just kinda throws that in to certain songs just for kicks. =)

    This is from the ride Spaceship Earth (the big ball at Epcot) in Disney World... kinda cool how he tied it in to his music.

    it is from space mountian and fed ex does sponsor the ride although it doesnt say the exact phrase its ony off y a few words. this outro to ghost is one of the highlights of the show and is always a fan favorite so stop thinking so hard and just scream when you hear it.

    I'm pretty sure the lyrics go: "In the future people will be sent to distant lands through beams of light" Nothing really to do with packages, although mabey he sang it differently for different shows? I love it when he sings ghost with this beams of light aspect... definately one of the highlights of the show... although the entire thing was absolutely amazing... I love acoustic stuff and I loved the guitar in the beams of light stuff. And his voice is amazing!!!!! Okay, i'll stop now, boardering on crazy fan...

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,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
