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,
You have become
What you have always been
Light flickering around
Peripheral vision
No words we can speak
Of paths to be chosen
All trails that we trek
Shall lead us back to here
Because our
Love comes again
Just when I've broken down I found
Love can come again
You gotta believe that
Love comes again
Just when I've broken down I found
Love can come again
Deep within me
Turn all the secret stones
Forests and fields
Breathing with blood and bones
Still no words we can speak
Of paths to be chosen
but all trails that we trek
Shall lead us back to here
Because our
Love comes again
Just when I've broken down I found
Love can come again
You gotta believe that
Love comes again
Just when I've broken down I found
Love can come again
What you have always been
Light flickering around
Peripheral vision
No words we can speak
Of paths to be chosen
All trails that we trek
Shall lead us back to here
Because our
Love comes again
Just when I've broken down I found
Love can come again
You gotta believe that
Love comes again
Just when I've broken down I found
Love can come again
Deep within me
Turn all the secret stones
Forests and fields
Breathing with blood and bones
Still no words we can speak
Of paths to be chosen
but all trails that we trek
Shall lead us back to here
Because our
Love comes again
Just when I've broken down I found
Love can come again
You gotta believe that
Love comes again
Just when I've broken down I found
Love can come again

Just A Little Lovin'

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/

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This is DJ Tiesto song...
Tiesto just remixed it, and put it out as a single.
Sorry man, but Tiesto didn't remix it, it's actually Tiesto's work... BT just did the vocals...
well still...its a good song. it speaks truth.
