remember to forget her,
the memories tattooed on reflective surfaces.
scars are only beauty deep
yet you find pleasure in your pain.
is this your remedy, has this remedy gone wrong.

you sleep with one light on, the silent comforter.
nostalgic is a lonely road.
he writes his melodies and sings them lullabies.

better days, i've known them
but as these days grow older,
we inch much closer to the one.
the day as life has begun.

the grievances run deep
to fill the emptiness.
and pain's a welcome friend,
your sorrow's everything to you...
for hope's such a stranger here.

this cherishing of memories is slowly destroying him
grasping the past with a tightening fist, he let's go...
go free.

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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
