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”
The moon is shining bright
The mood is feeling right
I'll kiss you on your neck
People will stare but we won't care
We're high above the ground
We're nowhere to be found
Empowered by adrenaline
Feel like I'm born again
Again I am repeating myself
And I know it is time for you to sit and pretend
Damn regret
I'll try to forget
Don't worry about me 'cause i'll be fine
Cast my line
To see what's behind
Did you think you'd persuade me to let you go?
I'm wishing you were here
My weakness is my fear
Alone I am myself
No reason left for me to care
Distracted by the sound
I hear footsteps all around
Empowered by adrenaline
Feel like I'm born again
Again I am repeating myself
And I know it is time for you to sit and pretend
Damn regret
I'll try to forget
Don't worry about me 'cause i'll be fine
Cast my line
To see what's behind
Did you think you'd persuade me to let you go?
You're the only one I turn to
When I feel like no one's there
And when I'm lonely in my darkest hour
You give me the power to sit and pretend
Damn regret
I'll try to forget
Don't worry about me 'cause i'll be fine
Cast my line
To see what's behind
Did you think you'd persuade me to let you go?
Did you think I'd forget?
Did you think I'd surrender myself to persuade you to let me go?
Did you think I'd forget?
Did you think I'd surrender myself to persuade you to let me go?
Whoa oh oh
The mood is feeling right
I'll kiss you on your neck
People will stare but we won't care
We're high above the ground
We're nowhere to be found
Empowered by adrenaline
Feel like I'm born again
Again I am repeating myself
And I know it is time for you to sit and pretend
Damn regret
I'll try to forget
Don't worry about me 'cause i'll be fine
Cast my line
To see what's behind
Did you think you'd persuade me to let you go?
I'm wishing you were here
My weakness is my fear
Alone I am myself
No reason left for me to care
Distracted by the sound
I hear footsteps all around
Empowered by adrenaline
Feel like I'm born again
Again I am repeating myself
And I know it is time for you to sit and pretend
Damn regret
I'll try to forget
Don't worry about me 'cause i'll be fine
Cast my line
To see what's behind
Did you think you'd persuade me to let you go?
You're the only one I turn to
When I feel like no one's there
And when I'm lonely in my darkest hour
You give me the power to sit and pretend
Damn regret
I'll try to forget
Don't worry about me 'cause i'll be fine
Cast my line
To see what's behind
Did you think you'd persuade me to let you go?
Did you think I'd forget?
Did you think I'd surrender myself to persuade you to let me go?
Did you think I'd forget?
Did you think I'd surrender myself to persuade you to let me go?
Whoa oh oh

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
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.
I feel that this song is about his past. and him dealing with it. and i think he is singing to God again. with the whole "And when I’m lonely in my darkest hour, You give me the power, To sit and pretend."
