Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
where are those happy days
they seem so hard to find
i try to reach for you
but you have closed you mind
what ever happened to her love
i wish i understood
it used to be so nice
it used to be so good
so when you need ma darling cant u hear me
the love you gave me
nothing else can save me
when you're gone
how can i even try to go on
when you're gone
though i tried
how can i carry on
you seem so far away
though you're standing near
you made me feel alive but something died i fear
i really tried to make it out
i wish i understood
what happened to your love
it used to be so good
so when you need ma darling cant u hear me
the love you gave me
nothing else can save me
when you're gone
how can i even try to go on
when you're gone
though i tried
how can i carry on
what ever happened to you love
i wish i understood
it used to be so nice
it used to be so good
so when you need ma darling cant u hear me
the love you gave me
nothing else can save me
when you're gone
how can i even try to go on
when you're gone
though i tried
how can i carry on
Where are those happy days
they seem so hard to find.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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.
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

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/

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.
Awesome cover :)
yay! i'm first (not that important anyway)
some couple that their relationship somehow changed, they are together but separated in essence (?) like their feelings and stuff but now they got separated and now he is kinda sad about it
from the moment i heard it i liked it instantaneously and just discovered it when i was seeing some of their music videos and saw "SOS" (i thought,'what is that?') oh and that song is original from ABBA
:P:)
