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”
As I fall, and you turn away.
You walk down corridors miles away from heart. As I breathe, as I surrender...
I hear the sound of whispering.
Replace these veins, with these stomach aches and butterflies that long to tear away.
Screaming, I'll tear out, I'll tear out, I'll tear out your heart.
With the lights out, I hope you never leave my side.
I promise to leave my weapons left by the bedside.
As you stand pressed up on the wall, they march in outfit with lullabies that long to hurt us all.
Now I'm your escape route, but I could be so much more.
With the lights out, I hope you never leave my side.
I promise to leave my weapons left by the bedside.
This time I wont bleed, if your forsaken me... I'll tear out your heart.
You were there and I was was with you, longing for you.
You broke the locks, I grabbed on to you. Lost in these rooms...
What did I see?
You walk down corridors miles away from heart. As I breathe, as I surrender...
I hear the sound of whispering.
Replace these veins, with these stomach aches and butterflies that long to tear away.
Screaming, I'll tear out, I'll tear out, I'll tear out your heart.
With the lights out, I hope you never leave my side.
I promise to leave my weapons left by the bedside.
As you stand pressed up on the wall, they march in outfit with lullabies that long to hurt us all.
Now I'm your escape route, but I could be so much more.
With the lights out, I hope you never leave my side.
I promise to leave my weapons left by the bedside.
This time I wont bleed, if your forsaken me... I'll tear out your heart.
You were there and I was was with you, longing for you.
You broke the locks, I grabbed on to you. Lost in these rooms...
What did I see?

Gentle Hour

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
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
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 probably my favourite song by Luke Pickett. Its so beautiful and altho many say he sounds like a woman its just his style! And no he doesnt hold his bollocks while he sings I've seen him live his set is perfect and I got to meet him and he is the soundest guy ever! I agree with beautiful soul I think its about a girl who betrayed a guy and then uses him again.
