The central thesis of each song according to me:
As You Lie There
I was an obsessive young man, and I'm an obsessive old man. If I fall for you I want you to obsess about me too.
Lost Horizon
We live in time we lose people and things that meant a lot to us. Knowing that ought to shape what we do.
Days We Left Behind
I'm feeling a lot better about a lot of things, but it's been a hard road getting here.
Ripples in a Pond
I can't quite give full vent in public (possibly also in private) to my insecurities but I'm really glad you're here Nancy.
Mountain Top
It can be really nice and fun to do mind altering drugs together.
Down South
What I had with George before I met John was real and important. I love you George.
We Two
I miss you John. Down South has me all in my feelings about poetry.
Come Inside
I've already said I'm not going to say the secrets out loud, and that you should listen to my music. Listen!
Never Know
I miss you John. I miss being your number one. And despite my previous protestations on this album I'm still never completely certain what I meant to you.
Home to Us
When I speak positively about Liverpool, it doesn't mean it wasn't hard. And when Ringo speaks negatively about Liverpool, it doesn't mean it wasn't his home.
Life Can Be Hard
Life can be hard. But I don't like to think about that. And honestly that approach has served me pretty well.
First Star of the Night
Linda's spirit watches over our family and gives me a lot of comfort. I'm sad she's gone.
Salesman Saint
The past weaves into the future. I forgive my Dad for some things I don't want to think about, but I can't think of anything I need to forgive my Mum for.
Momma Gets By
The similarities between my mother's death and Linda's death still disturb me. The shit they put up with is honestly pretty upsetting. But I know, in a way that can only be conveyed in music, what it is to love someone that way.
