This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
A pair of shoes some old reviews
That you kicked behind the door
A calling card is torn apart
And it's wasted on the floor
Some city scene you're like a preteen
Chasing all the latest news
We're back at home we fix old radios
Wiping off the dusty tunes so
Please, please don't touch
Please, please don't touch
I keep it warm at thirty-four
Like the way it was before
Your favorite shirt a little dirt
Builds inside the bedroom drawer
'Cause all the paint and the stains
All the papers and the fumes
They're all of you they stay alive
And inside the things we knew
So please, please don't touch
Please, please don't touch
Empty stalls and shopping malls
That we'll never see again
Hotel lobbies like painful hobbies
That linger on
Time compares us, you feel embarrassed
Like you drive your parent's car
On another road, in another road
Kept in a jar
That you kicked behind the door
A calling card is torn apart
And it's wasted on the floor
Some city scene you're like a preteen
Chasing all the latest news
We're back at home we fix old radios
Wiping off the dusty tunes so
Please, please don't touch
Please, please don't touch
I keep it warm at thirty-four
Like the way it was before
Your favorite shirt a little dirt
Builds inside the bedroom drawer
'Cause all the paint and the stains
All the papers and the fumes
They're all of you they stay alive
And inside the things we knew
So please, please don't touch
Please, please don't touch
Empty stalls and shopping malls
That we'll never see again
Hotel lobbies like painful hobbies
That linger on
Time compares us, you feel embarrassed
Like you drive your parent's car
On another road, in another road
Kept in a jar

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

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.

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.
yeah that is the secret weapon of the junior boys, there is so much more to their music than just what it sounds like. it is almost intuitive the way the beats move along, coupled with his voice. anyway, back to the point of all this: to me this song is about coming home to your hometown or whatever after being away for a long time, and seeing things that remind you of the person you used to love when you were younger. as you get older it becomes harder to adapt to new people and you always have this idealized memory of relationships in the past and i think this is like a nostalgia for that.
