This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
The world is cold and times are bad
Every time I think about it, it makes me sad
War and drugs are everywhere
And it`s getting so hard to breathe the air
But it doesn't have to be like this
All the rancor and bitterness
If we can just open our eyes
We can make this world a paradise
Someday
We`ll live as one family in perfect harmony
Someday
If we all pull together we will all be free
Someday (someday!) [x3]
Free from the pressure and the prejudice
(Free from oppression and prejudice)
We can change it all with tenderness
There`ll be no void between black and white
We`ll be able to walk the streets at night
I won`t be fooled while someone dies of starvation
The whole world will be my nation
We will walk hand in hand
I`ll go to South Africa and be called woman
Someday
We`ll live as one family in sweet harmony
Someday
If we all pull together we will all be free
Mmmm, someday
We`ll all be free - mmmm, you and me
Someday (someday!) [x3]
We will all be free, (someday) free, free!
Someday!
I want to be
Someday!
Free!
Someday!
Free!
Someday! [x2]
Someday! (someday) [x2]
Someday!
Someday we`ll all be free...[x2]
Hmm
Someday [x6]
We`ll all be free...
Hey I want to be free, free, free!
There`ll be no ghettos, no addiction
All today`s troubles will seem like fiction
We will walk hand-in-hand
I`ll go to South Africa and be called woman
Someday (someday!) [x2]
Hey, I want to be
Someday (someday!)
Free!
Someday...
[repeat to end]
Every time I think about it, it makes me sad
War and drugs are everywhere
And it`s getting so hard to breathe the air

Someday
We`ll live as one family in perfect harmony
Someday
If we all pull together we will all be free
Someday (someday!) [x3]
Free from the pressure and the prejudice
(Free from oppression and prejudice)
We can change it all with tenderness
There`ll be no void between black and white

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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
