someone should tell you, the bridges most often travelled are the soonest to collapse. and whether structural or hereditary, those same bridges, once fallen or falling, take many down with them. and that every Casagemas must eventually say "ive had enough of this life and this love." every Casagemas whispers himself to sleep with "tomorrow is the end, i have had my-- i have had my fill."

Waiting too long to say what you mean and to give looks their intentions. Compact fire into undesired space will only explode.

    this song is so damn good, especially the intro. ive only heard the live version of this song so the vocals are a little hard to hear, but i hope they put this on whatever album they put out next. this band is gonna be so big in the next few years.

    Actually called "this must be some kind of joke"

    stephen: someone should tell you, the bridges most often travelled are the soonest to collapse. and (whether structural or hereditary,) those same bridges, once bent and worn, take many down with them. and that every Casagemas must eventually say "ive had enough of this life and this love." every Casagemas whispers himself to sleep with "tomorrow is the end, i have had my-- i have had my fill." (fuck you. im so fucking real. i mean every goddamn word i say.)

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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/
