Surely there is
No substitute
For company
My mom's ripping
Off her hands
One flake at a time
All her children left the house
And left her all alone
But just like she'd tell me
Things get better
Just wait
And you'll see

take one day at a time
Everything else you can leave behind
Only one thing at a time
Anything more really hurts your mind
I don't want for us to
Take pills
Anymore
Not that it's bad
I don't want for us to take pills
Because we're stronger
And we don't need them

    Getting back to bands that sound similar to Panda/AC... or at least a similar genre I think would be:

    Yeasayer Atlas Sound Black Dice Deerhunter Dan Deacon

    Those are the closest you can get, of course they don't bear the same effect upon listening that Feels or Merriweather Post Pavillion do, but they are all wonderful artists.

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/
