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.
Like a breath of midnight air
Like a lighthouse, like a prayer
Like the flicker and the flare, the sky reveals
Like a walk along the shore
That you've walked a thousand times before
Like the oceans roar
Love heals (ooh, ooh)
There are those who shield their hearts
Those who quit before they start
Who frozen up the part of them that feels
Dont freeze your heart
In the dark they've lost their sight
Like a ship without a star in the night, but hold on tight
Love heals
When you feel like you can't go on
Love heals
Hold on to love, it'll keep you strong
Love heals
When you feel like you can't go on (feel like you can't go on)
Love heals
Hold onto love, it'll bring you home
Love heals when pain's too much to bear
When you reach out your hand, and only wind is there
When lifes unfair
When things like us are not yo be
Love heals when you feel so small, like a grain of sand
Like nothing at all
When you look out at sea, thats where love will be
Thats where you'll find me
You'll find me
So if you fear the storm ahead
As you lie awake, lie awake in bed
And theres no one
No one
No one there to stroke your hand
And your mind
Your mind
Your mind reels
When your face is salty wet
And you're drowning in regret
Just
Dont forget (ooh)
Dont forget (oh, yeah)
Dont forget (oh, yeah)
Dont forget (love will lead you home)
Dont forget (oh, keep in song)
Dont forget (keep it your heart, baby)
Dont forget (I say love)
Dont forget
Love heals
When you feel like you can't go on
Love heals
Love love love is gonna carry you home
Love heals
When you feel like when you feel like you cant go on
Love heals
Hold onto love and it will lead you home
Love heals
Like a lighthouse, like a prayer
Like the flicker and the flare, the sky reveals
Like a walk along the shore
That you've walked a thousand times before
Like the oceans roar
Love heals (ooh, ooh)
There are those who shield their hearts
Those who quit before they start
Who frozen up the part of them that feels
Dont freeze your heart
In the dark they've lost their sight
Like a ship without a star in the night, but hold on tight
Love heals
When you feel like you can't go on
Love heals
Hold on to love, it'll keep you strong
Love heals
When you feel like you can't go on (feel like you can't go on)
Love heals
Hold onto love, it'll bring you home
Love heals when pain's too much to bear
When you reach out your hand, and only wind is there
When lifes unfair
When things like us are not yo be
Love heals when you feel so small, like a grain of sand
Like nothing at all
When you look out at sea, thats where love will be
Thats where you'll find me
You'll find me
So if you fear the storm ahead
As you lie awake, lie awake in bed
And theres no one
No one

Dont forget (love will lead you home)
Dont forget (oh, keep in song)

Dont forget
Love heals
When you feel like you can't go on
Love heals
Love love love is gonna carry you home
Love heals
When you feel like when you feel like you cant go on
Love heals
Hold onto love and it will lead you home
Love heals

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/
