Homecoming parade
You were the queen
I was riding right behind you
With the rest of the team
Saw my ring on your finger
As you waved to the crowd
I didn't know a second stringer
Could ever be so proud
The car in front of me was carrying
What I loved more than anything
My sweetest dream
Was in the car in front of me
On Wednesday nights
We'd meet at church
You'd bring the kids
And I'd come straight from work
Going home I'd read their lips
Through the window of your van
As they sang Jesus loves me
I thought God I'm a lucky man
The car in front of me was carrying
What I loved more than anything
My sweetest dream
Was in the car in front of me
Even after what the doctor said
You were strong and you believed
And you held us all together
Through one more spring
Their little hands held on to mine
As we sat in that backseat
With tears in our eyes
A long line of headlights
Strangers stopped along the road
No Monday wasn't meant
For wearing Sunday clothes
The car in front of me was carrying
What I loved more than anything
Oh, my sweetest dream
Was in the car in front of me
You were the queen
I was riding right behind you
With the rest of the team
Saw my ring on your finger
As you waved to the crowd
I didn't know a second stringer
Could ever be so proud
The car in front of me was carrying
What I loved more than anything
My sweetest dream
Was in the car in front of me
On Wednesday nights
We'd meet at church
You'd bring the kids
And I'd come straight from work
Going home I'd read their lips
Through the window of your van
As they sang Jesus loves me
I thought God I'm a lucky man
The car in front of me was carrying
What I loved more than anything
My sweetest dream
Was in the car in front of me
Even after what the doctor said
You were strong and you believed
And you held us all together
Through one more spring
Their little hands held on to mine
As we sat in that backseat
With tears in our eyes
A long line of headlights
Strangers stopped along the road
No Monday wasn't meant
For wearing Sunday clothes
The car in front of me was carrying
What I loved more than anything
Oh, my sweetest dream
Was in the car in front of me

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/

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
this really makes me think about my grandma that passed a year ago. my grandpa and his 6 kids sat in the seats cryin. i sat there not believing that she passed, but i didn't cry. i think holding in those emotions were bad. i love this song even if it's truly a sad song. i love it and hopefully others can as well!:)
