Losing my momentum, losing my mind
Not enough to mention, not enough time
I can't even say what it's about
All I am is shreds of doubt

And you don't know how to deal with me
You don't know how that feels
It all comes apart so easily
And you're running out of ideas

Everything melted in less than a week
Watching it felt like forever
The lights started dimming
And then they went out
Heaven came down like a blanket
I can't even say what it's about
All I am is shreds of doubt

So turn on the laugh track
Everyone knows you're a wreck
You're never this quiet, your smile is cracking
You just haven't found what you're looking for yet

Turn on the laugh track
We'll see if it changes the scene
Maybe this is just the funniest version
Of us that we've ever been

I think our feet are gonna slip
I think our hands are gonna shake
I think our eyes are gonna cry
I think our hearts are gonna break

Maybe we'll never lighten up
Maybe this isn't gonna quit
I think it's never coming back
Maybe we've always been like this

So turn on the laugh track
Everyone knows you're a wreck
You're never this quiet, your smile is cracking
You just haven't found what you're looking for yet

Turn on the laugh track
We'll see if it changes the scene
Maybe this is just the funniest version
Of us that we've ever been

I think our feet are gonna slip
I think our hands are gonna shake
I think our eyes are gonna cry
I think our hearts are gonna break

Maybe we'll never lighten up
Maybe this isn't gonna quit
I think it's never coming back
Maybe we've always been like this

I think our feet are gonna slip
I think our hands are gonna shake
I think our eyes are gonna cry
I think our hearts are gonna break

So turn on the laugh track
Everyone knows you're a wreck
You're never this quiet, your smile is cracking
You just haven't found what you're looking for yet

Turn on the laugh track
We'll see if it changes the scene

Here's a question---the National have recorded with Taylor Swift---would this mean you'd finally play Swift? How is it we never hear her tracks with Bon Iver? What would it take to hear more Taylor Swift considering we sometimes get Billie Eilish?



Sorry, but I can't agree to this (not that I have any say on what gets played on RP).  It's bad enough that Taylor Swift has invaded my NFL football viewing.  She's got enough money to start her own radio station.  Billie Eilish has far more creative musical talent than Swift, would be my guess as to why she gets airplay on this great station.

This band is the modern Leonard Cohen. Serious, great lyrics, but also a bit blue.

Agreed, I have no idea how the logic works on some of the playlist choices. If we get Billie Eilish, and no Taylor Swift, do we get Ed Sheeran? I'm fairly certain a vocal minority would flip out if Swift ever got played outside of a duo with The National or Bon Iver even if she's a great artist on her own in league with so many solo female artists who do get played here.

What does the lock mean on the playlist when a song is playing?


According to the "tooltip" (hover) it means toggle auto refresh.  No, me neither.

A new album? Just 6 month after the masterpiece "The first two page of Frankenstein". This band is definetely one of the greatest. Let's go to the record shop can't  wait to listen to this new record.
