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”
Mm mmmm mm mmmm
I can not be where the weather is fair
With you on the ground, me in the air
But whistling and just drink up restless hearts
I can still taste the last call, still feel the bar
And plotting the managers and fast open cars
Racing the agents, chasing the ancients to the corner stores
To pick out the potions
I like the others to believe we were born
To bleed at the borders, to sleep with the storm
I must confess I've laid down a stronger man,
I dare not go
but I miss you, and I miss you
There is nothing I can take
There is nothing I can do
To keep from running away
I know what I've lost, on this quiet night
Still felt your grasp upon me, as a border flight
And I watched you there in the window, wondered how long you'd stay
Waving your arms at the jungle, as it tore us both away
Wish I could just turn myself around
Follow my heart back to you on the ground
I know just for tonight, it's harder to hear than to goodbye
but I miss you, and I miss you
There is nothing I can take
There is nothing I can do
To keep from running away, at any cost
To keep from turning around, just to see what I lost
oooooo ooooo, ooooo oooo, oooo o oo, oooo oo oooo
but I miss you, and I'll miss you
There is nothing I can take
There is nothing I can do
To keep from running away, at any cost
To keep from turning around, just to see what I lost
(oooooo ooooo, ooooo oooo, oooo o oo, oooo oo oooo)
Wish I could just turn myself around
Follow my heart back to you on the ground
I know just for tonight, it's harder to hear than to goodbye
(oooooo ooooo, ooooo oooo, oooo o oo, oooo oo oooo)
Wish I could just turn myself around
Follow my heart back to you on the ground
I know just for tonight, it's harder to hear than to goodbye
I can not be where the weather is fair
With you on the ground, me in the air
But whistling and just drink up restless hearts
I can still taste the last call, still feel the bar
And plotting the managers and fast open cars
Racing the agents, chasing the ancients to the corner stores
To pick out the potions
I like the others to believe we were born
To bleed at the borders, to sleep with the storm
I must confess I've laid down a stronger man,
I dare not go
but I miss you, and I miss you
There is nothing I can take
There is nothing I can do
To keep from running away
I know what I've lost, on this quiet night
Still felt your grasp upon me, as a border flight
And I watched you there in the window, wondered how long you'd stay
Waving your arms at the jungle, as it tore us both away
Wish I could just turn myself around
Follow my heart back to you on the ground
I know just for tonight, it's harder to hear than to goodbye
but I miss you, and I miss you
There is nothing I can take
There is nothing I can do
To keep from running away, at any cost
To keep from turning around, just to see what I lost
oooooo ooooo, ooooo oooo, oooo o oo, oooo oo oooo
but I miss you, and I'll miss you
There is nothing I can take
There is nothing I can do
To keep from running away, at any cost
To keep from turning around, just to see what I lost
(oooooo ooooo, ooooo oooo, oooo o oo, oooo oo oooo)
Wish I could just turn myself around
Follow my heart back to you on the ground
I know just for tonight, it's harder to hear than to goodbye
(oooooo ooooo, ooooo oooo, oooo o oo, oooo oo oooo)
Wish I could just turn myself around
Follow my heart back to you on the ground
I know just for tonight, it's harder to hear than to goodbye

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
Yo La Tengo
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/
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
i think the meaning of this song is pretty obvious, the title says it all, i wasn't sure on some of the lyrics, some lines he sang and i think he said quietly on purpose, but it sounds like he says it right towards the end of the song. I'm talking about the line "harder to hear than to goodbye", you don't really hear the "to"s that well. I loves ringside as much as i do, this album will probably be my favorite all year.
