I believe in homicide I rest my case,
Don't cast a sigh you'd better believe it,
That's the truth of it take it or leave it,
Resign to it homicide, homicide, homicide, homicide
No one cares when someone lies
They'd rather say that it's a red alert
You'd better believe it,
That's the truth of it take it or leave it,
Resign to it homicide, homicide, homicide,
Homicide homicide, homicide, homicide, homicide
You try to tell me it's his fault because he's down

And let him lose this homicide all over town
I'll take enough but I'll take it down what's your address,
I'll write it down I'll be in touch so don't leave town
In a big black car (solo) homicide, homicide, homicide
I believe in homicide I rest my case, don't cast a
Sigh you'd better believe it, that's the truth of it,
Take it or leave it, resign to it homicide, homicide,
Homicide ,homicide homicide, homicide, homicide
Homicide homicide, homicide, homicide, homicide
Homi, homi, homi, homi, homi, homi, homi, homi
Homi, homi, homi, homi, homi, homi, homi, homi
Homicide

    I believe that this song is about how people say that they don't believe in Fighting, cheating, lying (all those bad things), but in reality, they commit actions every day that would definetely infer that they do support those actions. That's why the lead singer is speaking the truth and instead of saying "killing is wrong." like all the other hypocrits and eventually committing an action like everyone else that would show that he believes otherwise, he proudly declares, "I BELIEVE IN HOMICIDE!"

    That's what i think anyway. great song.

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.

Dreamwalker
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.

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,

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head &gt; Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

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.
