Song Information
The lyrics of "Heart Station" center around the metaphor of a radio station that connects people by picking up on the secret frequencies of the heart. It is a bitter-sweet song about a couple who is going through the end of a relationship and the both of them are unsure if they feel the same way because they aren't talking and communicating properly. Thus, they rely on "heart station" to convey their true feelings. The song has an experimental feel to it, while still maintaining pop roots.
"Stay Gold" is a more positive song about a woman who is encouraging her partner to "stay gold" and to remain happy, even when tough times are near. The song is much ethereal than Heart Station and the lyrics of the song were inspired by Robert Frost's poem Nothing Gold Can Stay and Stevie Wonder's song of the same name. The composition has a prominent piano background with a light R&B feel.

Famous quotes containing the words song and/or information:
“Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.”
—Bible: Hebrew Song of Solomon, 8:6.
“Phenomenal nature shadows him wherever he goes. Clouds in the staring sky transmit to one another, by means of slow signs, incredibly detailed information regarding him. His inmost thoughts are discussed at nightfall, in manual alphabet, by darkly gesticulating trees. Pebbles or stains or sunflecks form patterns representing in some awful way messages which he must intercept. Everything is a cipher and of everything he is the theme.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
