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.
Yes, I got your address from a friend
It was a matter of life and death
Something I needed off my chest
So can we meet tonight
But I don't wanna fight
Don't wanna leave 'til we're alright
Remembering everything that was said
Remembering went right straight to my head
Then there's regret
That we don't have
But when it comes down to saying it
No, you don't have the minute to spare
No, you don't think we need to repair
All those things that we are missing
'Cause you know there's something missing
No, you don't have the minute to spare
No, you don't think we need to repair
All those things that we are missing
'Cause you know there's something missing
I sit and watch the clock on the wall
As it counts down the end of my life
It leaves a bad taste in my mouth
Like sending letters with no reply
But I don't wanna fight
Don't wanna bleed 'til we're alright
Remembering everything that was said
Remembering went right straight to my head
Then there's regret
That we don't have
And it's your voice
That I don't hear
And it's the life we could have had
But when it comes down to saying it
No, you don't have the minute to spare
No, you don't think we need to repair
All those things that we are missing
'Cause you know there's something missing
No, you don't have the minute to spare
No, you don't think we need to repair
All those things that we are missing
'Cause you know there's something missing
Know there's something missing
I am the culprit in all this
I deserve this blood
So be honest
I'm ready
To take back everything I said
It was all just in my head
It was all just in my head
No, you don't have the minute to spare
No, you don't think we need to repair
All those things that we are missing
'Cause you know there's something missing
No, you don't have the minute to spare
No, you don't think we need to repair
All those things that we are missing
'Cause you know there's something missing
Know there's something missing
It was a matter of life and death
Something I needed off my chest
So can we meet tonight
But I don't wanna fight
Don't wanna leave 'til we're alright
Remembering everything that was said
Remembering went right straight to my head
Then there's regret
That we don't have
But when it comes down to saying it
No, you don't have the minute to spare
No, you don't think we need to repair
All those things that we are missing
'Cause you know there's something missing
No, you don't have the minute to spare
No, you don't think we need to repair
All those things that we are missing
'Cause you know there's something missing
I sit and watch the clock on the wall
As it counts down the end of my life
It leaves a bad taste in my mouth
Like sending letters with no reply
But I don't wanna fight
Don't wanna bleed 'til we're alright
Remembering everything that was said
Remembering went right straight to my head
Then there's regret
That we don't have
And it's your voice
That I don't hear
And it's the life we could have had
But when it comes down to saying it
No, you don't have the minute to spare
No, you don't think we need to repair
All those things that we are missing
'Cause you know there's something missing
No, you don't have the minute to spare
No, you don't think we need to repair
All those things that we are missing
'Cause you know there's something missing
Know there's something missing
I am the culprit in all this
I deserve this blood
So be honest
I'm ready
To take back everything I said
It was all just in my head
It was all just in my head
No, you don't have the minute to spare
No, you don't think we need to repair
All those things that we are missing
'Cause you know there's something missing
No, you don't have the minute to spare
No, you don't think we need to repair
All those things that we are missing
'Cause you know there's something missing
Know there's something missing

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/

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.

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.
i think that this song is about a fight and jordan was mean to someone. well the person is never going to forgive him, no matter what he says or does.
tisk tisk jordan!
