Desperate, when I was on my own
Then you came, like in my dreams, tenderly
Your whispers echoed in my heart
which I thought dead
With you I'm feeling warm
I'm alive when you hold my hand

Hold my hand and get me out
from that hole in the dark
Let me see that gleam of light
Let it shine on my heart

Lost in the dark with no fears
No stars above, no one to love
Tears come, run down my face
and they fade as they fall
I heard you call, called my name

Hold my hand and get me out
from that hole in the dark
Let me see that gleam of light
Let it shine on my heart
(x2)

My hope was gone, I lost my soul
You came from nowhere to hold my hand
Bring me back to life, yes, now I'm alive
Back to the real world, now I'm feeling better
When you're by my side, I don't need to hide

I reached the bottom, you brought me back
When I was drowning, you were in my mirror
Just before I closed my eyes

Just before I closed my eyes
I reached the bottom, you brought me back
When I was drowning, you were in my mind
It's your face I've seen shining down on me like dimes

I feel the fever inside my soul
Burning desire deep inside my heart
Now try to breathe, just find some space
You are my last chance, my only way out
When you talk to me, when you hold my hand

Hold my hand and get me out
from that hole in the dark
Let me see that gleam of light
Let it shine on my heart

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/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
