And here I go again,
Struggling the same way I did before.
Stuck at the same dead end,
But finding that I'm liking it more and more.
And here I go again.
And here I go again.

And here I go again,
Struggling the same way I did before.
Stuck at the same dead end
But finding that I'm liking it (here?) more and more.
It's so repetitive-
All the words that spill out of my tongue.
I hope that you don't mind.
I sing it all the time.
It's always on my mind,
But I cant seem to find another way.

And all I ever want and all I ever need is you.
In the shadow of the doubt, you always seem to pull me through.
But my words are growing old and all I need to do,
Is find a new way to say "I love you."

We spent so many nights trying hard to fix what wasn't right.
But it was only time, and time away is time spent on the run.
I never doubted you, I just couldn't seem to find my way.
But I was crumbling.
My words were stumbling.
The truth was humbling.
And all it took was just one more chance to say

All I ever want and all I ever need is you.
In the shadow of the doubt, you always seem to pull me through.
But I'm takin' every step to find my way to you.
I know you'll understand that your lovin' gets me through.
My words are growing old and all I need to do,
Is find a new way to say "I love you."

(Oh, oh.)
It's where I wanna be. It's where I wanna be.
You know I need you by my side.
I promise that I'll do my best to understand.

And all I ever want and all I ever need is you.
In the shadow of the doubt, you always seem to pull me through.
But my words are growing old and all I need to do,
is find a new way to say "i love you"

And all I ever want and all I ever need is you.
(All I ever want and all I ever need is you.)
In the shadow of the doubt, you always seem to pull me through.
But I'm takin' every step to find my way to you.
I know you'll understand that your lovin' gets me through.
My words are growing old and all I need to do,
Is find a new way to say "I love you."

    My Interpretation

    He's saying that he loves her, but that the word has lost its meaning, and he's trying to find a new word

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Gentle Hour
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
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/
