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.
I never knew a love could make me feel this way
I'm praying that I'll see another light or day
Because you got me falling on my beggin' knees
I'm asking for a better explanation please
Te-e-e-e-ee-ell-a me
If you don't love me so
Why won't you let me go
I'm running out of time
Forever will I cry
If you don't want me near
why won't you disappear
I'm hanging round to lie
Because you shot me for sure
I didn't wanna walk out the door
I'm living in the thoughts of before
I didn't wanna change my mind
Now we're back in time
Shot me for sure
I didn't wanna walk out the door
I'm living in the thoughts of before
I didn't wanna change my mind
Now we're back in time
Why do you want to hurt me, I did nothing wrong
(why do you wanna hurt me I did nothing wrong)
I made a dedication to your heart so strong
(I made a dedication to your heart so strong)
Cuz when you said 'it's over' I could no believe
(Cuz when you said 'it's over' I could no believe)
So why you wanna stay around and torture me?
Te-e-e-e-ee-ell-a me
If you don't love me so
Why won't you let me go
I'm running out of time
Forever will I cry
If you don't want me near
why won't you disappear
I'm hanging round to lie
Because you shot me for sure
I didn't wanna walk out the door
I'm living in the thoughts of before
I didn't wanna change my mind
Now we're back in time
Shot me for sure
I didn't wanna walk out the door
I'm living in the thoughts of before
I didn't wanna change my mind
Now we're back in time

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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I love this song.
