Once upon a time, you wouldnt let me be
So deeply woven couldnt tell myself from me
I had no reaason not to give myself to you
You were so good, but now I see the truth
You mislead me; wasted my time
I can see him; behind your eyes
You dont want me, you dont need me
You're just living to deceive me
{chorus}
What do you want me to be?
You treat me like a disease now
What do you want me to be?
Your fate has yet to come
Because this nightmare's just begun
If you see me in the shadow, whispering your name
Would you hear my words without going insane?
Give me one reason so that I can justify
You took my life; this hell you can't deny
I can't trust you; we both know why
I can see through all of your lies
I'm abandoned, left here stranded
Now your fate has been commanded
{chorus}
And it all comes down when I come down
And it hits the ground and we all fall down
{Chorus}

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/

Amazing

This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
