This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I have seen the barren landscapes
Dotted with the charred columns of fallen empires
Leaving us to stew in the consequences of past empires turned to ruin
Even and always after the most torrential fires
Life begins anew!
Fists clenched
I’m going to heaven to talk to god and this time it’s personal
The walls echo with blood
The false prophet dictates – the false prophet dies!
Man’s soul is in mortal peril
The dangers unforeseen
Cloaked
Shadowed
Plummeting into the sea
Of all the words of mice and men
The saddest are “it might have been”
Bathe in the flames of a life that only myths have told
A vast land
Waiting to be explored – a land of caverns
Forests
And moors
Sitting on a hillside
Watching the sun set over the trees
Feel the possibilities – the life carried on the breeze!
Life!
But how to live?
This is my diathesis. .
Dotted with the charred columns of fallen empires
Leaving us to stew in the consequences of past empires turned to ruin
Even and always after the most torrential fires
Life begins anew!
Fists clenched
I’m going to heaven to talk to god and this time it’s personal
The walls echo with blood
The false prophet dictates – the false prophet dies!
Man’s soul is in mortal peril
The dangers unforeseen
Cloaked
Shadowed
Plummeting into the sea
Of all the words of mice and men
The saddest are “it might have been”
Bathe in the flames of a life that only myths have told
A vast land
Waiting to be explored – a land of caverns
Forests
And moors
Sitting on a hillside
Watching the sun set over the trees
Feel the possibilities – the life carried on the breeze!
Life!
But how to live?
This is my diathesis. .

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Gentle Hour

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/
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
