The second album
12 gracious melodies
worth listening
hope you enjoy them
like if its sung to me
listen to 12 great tunes
playing on your stereo
dining and dancing too
entertain on the piano

The second album
12 gracious melodies
to listen
include this number
keeping you company

well
getting on the record soon
grooving on an afternoon
thats on my album too

this album cover
looks similar like Johnny Mathis
for Mathis lovers this album has his style
beautiful numbers are heard on the car radio
after all records are cut in the recording studio

My second album
one dozen melodies
to listen
include this number
keeping in company

    Yeah what the hell DOES Johnny Matis have to do with the cover??? I think "Purple" is a great album, but that CD was a big hint to fans saying that STP's sound was gonna really change. For example, the album is called "Purple" when NOTHING on the whole CD (in the music, in the booklet, in the lyrics) has to do with the color purple! Plus there is this weird hidden track after "Kitchenware and Candy Bars"! Who's singing this song anyway? Please don't tell me it's Scott Weiland (lol!).

    Johnny Mathis was a soul/R&B/jazz singer in the 50s through the 80s I think. I have no idea what the album cover has to do with him though.

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,

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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
