This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Hang on, Hang on
Yes it's the little things
Yes it's the little things
That do us harm
I'm not a stranger
Ain't a mystery
When we both get it wrong
Stay here for a little while more
Cause it's the funny things
Yes it's the funny things
I need a friend
Not an angel
What do you do when the drowning stops
And what you though was a hurricane
Was just the rustling of the wind
Why you think we need amazing grace
Just to tell it like it is
Well, I don't need no doctor to tear me all apart
I just need you, to mend my heart
Hang on, I'll try to look you in the eye
You know you should've apologized
Or should I've apologized
Is there an answer
What do you do when the drowning stops
And what you thought was a hurricane
Was just the rustling of the wind
Why you think we need amazing grace
Just to tell like it is
Oh, I don't need no doctor
To tear me all apart
I just need you, to mend my Heart
I need you
To mend my heart
Yes it's the little things
Yes it's the little things
That do us harm
I'm not a stranger
Ain't a mystery
When we both get it wrong
Stay here for a little while more
Cause it's the funny things
Yes it's the funny things
I need a friend
Not an angel
What do you do when the drowning stops
And what you though was a hurricane
Was just the rustling of the wind
Why you think we need amazing grace
Just to tell it like it is
Well, I don't need no doctor to tear me all apart
I just need you, to mend my heart
Hang on, I'll try to look you in the eye
You know you should've apologized
Or should I've apologized
Is there an answer
What do you do when the drowning stops
And what you thought was a hurricane
Was just the rustling of the wind
Why you think we need amazing grace
Just to tell like it is
Oh, I don't need no doctor
To tear me all apart
I just need you, to mend my Heart
I need you
To mend my heart

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,
