This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
i'm about to embark on a long voyage
the airlines will be handling all my luggage
you need exact change to cross the toll bridge
& i wonder if i should take along a sandwich
how do you say "i love you" in your language?
something got lost in the translation
there must have been a mispronounciation
i think i might take out the garbage
it's time that i got rid of all my baggage
how do you say "i love you" in your language?
does it mean the same in yours as it does in mine?
i don't think it's cutting it in mine
i wanna make sure that i pronounce it right
i wanna make sure that i don't miss this flight
this recalls an old familiar adage
that goes together like a horse and carriage
i wonder if you could take down this message
because i'm about to embark on a long voyage
how do you say "i love you" in your language?
the airlines will be handling all my luggage
you need exact change to cross the toll bridge
& i wonder if i should take along a sandwich
how do you say "i love you" in your language?
something got lost in the translation
there must have been a mispronounciation
i think i might take out the garbage
it's time that i got rid of all my baggage
how do you say "i love you" in your language?
does it mean the same in yours as it does in mine?
i don't think it's cutting it in mine
i wanna make sure that i pronounce it right
i wanna make sure that i don't miss this flight
this recalls an old familiar adage
that goes together like a horse and carriage
i wonder if you could take down this message
because i'm about to embark on a long voyage
how do you say "i love you" in your language?

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
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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
