Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Don't be that way 'cause I might be on that next train
If I get around to it
Oh no, Oh no, I'm so fucking undependable
But you have to admit it's part of my charm
Or at least I thought it was
Forget I said it
I'm ready for the next train wreck
A new disaster
'Cause I'm getting good at falling down and playing dead
Don't play that game 'cause I can't be held responsible
For any sort of injuries
I don't want to hear it
She said, she said, "You're so fucking irresistible."
As she lowered her head into her hands
I guess it happened again
I'm ready for the next train wreck
A new disaster
'Cause I'm getting good at falling down and playing dead
I'm ready for the next train wreck
A new disaster
'Cause I'm getting good at falling down and playing dead
A hurricane. A tornado. A forest fire. A falling piano.
From out of a window. Where ever she goes. Pure disaster surely follows
If I get around to it
Oh no, Oh no, I'm so fucking undependable
But you have to admit it's part of my charm
Or at least I thought it was
Forget I said it
I'm ready for the next train wreck
A new disaster
'Cause I'm getting good at falling down and playing dead
Don't play that game 'cause I can't be held responsible
For any sort of injuries
I don't want to hear it
She said, she said, "You're so fucking irresistible."
As she lowered her head into her hands
I guess it happened again
I'm ready for the next train wreck
A new disaster
'Cause I'm getting good at falling down and playing dead
I'm ready for the next train wreck
A new disaster
'Cause I'm getting good at falling down and playing dead
A hurricane. A tornado. A forest fire. A falling piano.
From out of a window. Where ever she goes. Pure disaster surely follows

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
This song is great, it really shows how Vinnie has matured as a musician/song writer since he was in the Movielife.
