You never know the weight of your crimes
But when all the gates have closed and you're tired
You stand a while by the fire
And it burns bright
A while, a while, you sit quiet
Inside you're so warm
Your eyes open up
To the sunrise
To the sunrise
Far from here
I never know the state that you're in
Oh, it's obvious to climb in your skin
But I know how we'll walk across
When inside, inside it feels right
Inside you're so warm
Your eyes open up
To the sunrise
To the sunrise
'Cause I want you to know
That I don't
'Cause I want you to know
That I don't
'Cause I want you to know
That I don't
'Cause I want you to know
That I just
(God made man and his reason)
'Cause I want you to know that I don't
(God made man and his reason)
'Cause I want you to know that I don't
(God made man and his reason)
'Cause I want you to know that I don't
(God made man and his reason)
And I want you to know
But when all the gates have closed and you're tired
You stand a while by the fire
And it burns bright
A while, a while, you sit quiet
Inside you're so warm
Your eyes open up
To the sunrise
To the sunrise
Far from here
I never know the state that you're in
Oh, it's obvious to climb in your skin
But I know how we'll walk across
When inside, inside it feels right
Inside you're so warm
Your eyes open up
To the sunrise
To the sunrise
'Cause I want you to know
That I don't
'Cause I want you to know
That I don't
'Cause I want you to know
That I don't
'Cause I want you to know
That I just
(God made man and his reason)
'Cause I want you to know that I don't
(God made man and his reason)
'Cause I want you to know that I don't
(God made man and his reason)
'Cause I want you to know that I don't
(God made man and his reason)
And I want you to know

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

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
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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
This song is extremely beautiful. I think whoever posted the lyrics on this page accidentally misheard the lyrics. I think the song actually says "Cause I want you to know, that I don't". And to me I think he is trying to say, I don't know why God made man. The only one who actually knows is God himself. God made man for his own reasons.
I always think he says "God made man, against reason."
that's a cool way to listen to it<br />
I love how this song acknowledges that God supersedes the limitations of human reason, and infinite possibility can never be imagined by anyone but that divinity
Beautiful
This song always reminds me of James (circa the Laid album), albeit more upbeat. Pacing, themes, etc.
I believe the lyrics are "God made man, and his reasons... // I want you to know that I don't..."
I think the intention is that they are two halves to a single statement, "God made man, but I don't know why."
I think the rest of the song is simply about meditation and finding this feeling of inner peace and meaning. In the end, he wants to share this feeling with others, despite the fact he's yet to understand it.
I don't think this song necessarily has to be about God. To me, "God" seems more representative of that kind of contentment or idealism you can't explain.
