Lonely press play lyrics

Hello. I am in a bit of confusion about Lonely press play lyrics. In your opinion, english speaking people (which I am not): what are the actual words after Can I get any closer? 1. Google and Spotify says: What any token can't, I'll bring to you. 2. Genius says: What antidote can I bring to you? 3. Other sources say: What anecdote can I bring to you? Listening to the song, I think that the most valuable option is 3? I guess, but not easy to know. Maybe. Thanks in advance for your feedback. Have a nice sunday.

How come Damon stopped making long albums?

Back in the day he used to make long albums but it seems like after humanz he makes 10-11 songs albums now (not counting the bonus cuts for the deluxe)

BEFORE:

blur:

Leisure: 12 songs

modern life is rubbish: 14 songs

parklife: 16 songs

The Great escape: 15

self titled: 14 songs

Think tank: 13 songs

the magic whip: 12 songs

Gorillaz:

self titled: 15 songs

demon days: 15 songs

plastic beach: 16 songs

the fall (if you consider it an album): 15 songs

humanz: 20 songs

The Good The Bad & The Queen:

Self titled: 12 Songs

Rocket juice and the moon

self titled: 18 songs

Solo:

Everyday robots: 12 songs

NOW:

blur:

the ballad of Darren: 10 songs

Gorillaz:

the now now: 11 songs

song machine: 11 songs

cracker island: 10 songs

The good the bad & the queen:

merrie land: 11 songs

solo:

the stream flows: 11 songs

what gives? Does this have something to do with “people have short attention spans“ so he’s making shorter albums and throwing any songs that pass the 11 songs mark in the deluxe? Look short albums of 10-11 songs is okay but I prefer albums of 13-15 songs :)

What piano does Damon albarn use on stage?

What Roland piano does Damon use on stage? I know it’s some sort of Roland but equipboard is showing two different pianos from the same quote so one’s gotta be wrong.

Unsure of a CD variant of The Nearer The Fountain More Pure The Stream Flows

Hello everyone

Today I was looking for some random CDs that I would like to add to my collection and while searching for Damon's solo stuff, I've stumbled upon this CD? It says it's The Nearer The Fountain More Pure The Stream Flows CD, but the thing that's pretty odd to me is that it costs only five bucks and has an alternate cover? The release date of this specific item is also 31st May 2024? Is this like a single-only CD or am I just looking way too much into this?

Any answer will be much appriciated

I'm also gonna include the link to this item right below:

Why didn’t Stew Peters get as criticized as much as Damon did, when he said mean stuff about Taylor?

After the incident, I had grudge against Taylor and refused to listen to her music. But almost 2 years later, I got over my grudge, accepted that Damon was in the wrong, and went back to enjoying her music. But despite all of that, I’m still mad at the whole situation. I’m mad at the fans. I’m mad at the fans that flooded Damon’s posts with scarf and snake emojis. I’m mad at every C list celebrity who went to talk crap about him. I’m mad at the fans who bullied him. I’m mad at everyone who called him a misogynist. Last time I checked, Damon Albarn’s name is not Andrew Tate. If anything this treatment that Damon revived minus the threats, should’ve been given to Stew Peters. Who is Stew Peters? He is a conservative commentator who called for the execution of Taylor and her now boyfriend Travis Kelce. I don’t see his posts flooded with snake and scarf emojis like they were with Damon’s. Man, Swifties like to pick and choose who to go after.
