Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I heard some shouts like
Down on the floor
Then even louder we go shooters
I turned around I was starin' at chrome
Shotgun watches door got security good
Jumped right over counter
Pointed gun at winky teller
I'm your shooter
My hands up, my hands up,
They want me with my hands up
Oh shooter
My hands up, my hands up,
They want me with my hands up
No shooter
Thieves flyin' off at the mouth
Talkin' bout dumpin' and wettin' me something
Now their attentions on me cause
I don't look scared enough
Their callin' my bluff
With all these riches and all these switches
But ain't no donuts around
My hands up,
They want me with my hands up
Oh shooter
My hands up, hands up,
They want me with my hands up
No shooter
Lady walks into a shotgun surprise
Dropped to her knees saw her life 'fore her eyes
He said bitch is gonna get it
Everybody gon' regret it
I'm your shooter
My hands up, my hands up
They want me with my hands up
Oh shooter
My hands up, my hands up,
They want me with my hands up
No shooter
They want me with my hands up
Oh shooter
My hands up, my hands up,
They really really want it
Oh shooter
Down on the floor
Then even louder we go shooters
I turned around I was starin' at chrome
Shotgun watches door got security good
Jumped right over counter
Pointed gun at winky teller
I'm your shooter
My hands up, my hands up,
They want me with my hands up
Oh shooter
My hands up, my hands up,
They want me with my hands up
No shooter
Thieves flyin' off at the mouth
Talkin' bout dumpin' and wettin' me something
Now their attentions on me cause
I don't look scared enough
Their callin' my bluff
With all these riches and all these switches
But ain't no donuts around
My hands up,
They want me with my hands up
Oh shooter
My hands up, hands up,
They want me with my hands up
No shooter
Lady walks into a shotgun surprise
Dropped to her knees saw her life 'fore her eyes
He said bitch is gonna get it
Everybody gon' regret it
I'm your shooter
My hands up, my hands up
They want me with my hands up
Oh shooter
My hands up, my hands up,
They want me with my hands up
No shooter
They want me with my hands up
Oh shooter
My hands up, my hands up,
They really really want it
Oh shooter

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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/
