This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
We were 17
But everything still seemed so clear to me
Whispering and watching falling stars
From my beat up car
(I was fallin', fallin' I was fallin')
In the parking lot
Almost 10 o'clock
We went for one last walk
I couldn't stop
Thinkin' if I should try
A kiss goodbye
(I was fallin', fallin' I was fallin')
I'll wait forever
It's better late then never
Can't forget her
Like a movie in my mind
Keeps playing over and over
Wanna hold her again
I'll wait forever
Time goes by but still I find
Can't keep you off my mind
A broken piece of me I left behind
When you were mine
(I was fallin', fallin' I was fallin')
Our last embrace
Those perfect tears fell down your perfect face
Your lips said words that I just can't erase
Was this a waste?
(You were fallin', fallin' you were fallin')
I'll wait forever
It's better late then never
Can't forget her
Like a movie in my mind
Keeps playing over and over
Wanna hold her again
I kept her letter in my wallet
And her picture in my phone
She had our favorite song set as her ring tone
We had everything we wanted
'Till we let it slip away
But we both know some things will never change
Time goes by
But still I find
I can't keep you off my mind
I'll wait forever
It's better late then never
Can't forget her
Like a movie in my mind
Keeps playing over and over
Wanna hold her, I'll wait forever
I'll wait forever
It's better late then never
Can't forget her
Like a movie in my mind
Keeps playing over and over
Wanna hold her, I'll wait forever
But everything still seemed so clear to me
Whispering and watching falling stars
From my beat up car
(I was fallin', fallin' I was fallin')
In the parking lot
Almost 10 o'clock
We went for one last walk
I couldn't stop
Thinkin' if I should try
A kiss goodbye
(I was fallin', fallin' I was fallin')
I'll wait forever
It's better late then never
Can't forget her
Like a movie in my mind
Keeps playing over and over
Wanna hold her again
I'll wait forever
Time goes by but still I find
Can't keep you off my mind
A broken piece of me I left behind
When you were mine
(I was fallin', fallin' I was fallin')
Our last embrace
Those perfect tears fell down your perfect face
Your lips said words that I just can't erase
Was this a waste?
(You were fallin', fallin' you were fallin')
I'll wait forever
It's better late then never
Can't forget her
Like a movie in my mind
Keeps playing over and over
Wanna hold her again
I kept her letter in my wallet
And her picture in my phone
She had our favorite song set as her ring tone
We had everything we wanted
'Till we let it slip away
But we both know some things will never change
Time goes by
But still I find
I can't keep you off my mind
I'll wait forever
It's better late then never
Can't forget her
Like a movie in my mind
Keeps playing over and over
Wanna hold her, I'll wait forever
I'll wait forever
It's better late then never
Can't forget her
Like a movie in my mind
Keeps playing over and over
Wanna hold her, I'll wait forever

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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/
the meaning is pretty obvious, but this is my favourite song on can'T keEp A SecrEt. it's so sweet and innocent.
