This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Yesterday I was a young man
Searching for my way
Not knowing what I wanted
Living life from day to day, yeah
Till she came along
There was nothing but an empty space
Not a trace
Feels like colored rain
Tastes like colored rain
Bring down colored rain
Rain, oh yeah
I can feel those colored changes
Going through my mind
United with a feeling
Bringing love into my eyes, yeah
Till she came along
There was nothing but an empty space
Not a trace
Feels like colored rain, baby
Tastes like colored rain
Bring down colored rain
Rain, oh yeah
Bring it on down baby
I can feel those colored changes
Going through my mind
United with a feeling
Bringing love into my eyes, yeah
Till she came along
There was nothing but an empty space
Not a trace
Feels like colored rain, baby
Don't you know it feels like colored rain
Don't you know baby
Its not all the time
That the sun won't shine, baby, yeah
If you love me and you want me to be your man, yeah yeah
There's one thing baby
Every woman should understand, hmmm
Without rain babe
Our love will never come to be
And if you want my sunshine
You've got to accept my hail rain and snow
There's one thing baby
That I want you to do for me yeah
I want you to take our body close
I want you to work that up I know
Take that colored rain
Bring it down yeah
Bring it on down yeah
Bring it on down yeah
Bring it on down yeah
Bring it on down yeah
Bring down colored rain
Searching for my way
Not knowing what I wanted
Living life from day to day, yeah
Till she came along
There was nothing but an empty space
Not a trace
Feels like colored rain
Tastes like colored rain
Bring down colored rain
Rain, oh yeah
I can feel those colored changes
Going through my mind
United with a feeling
Bringing love into my eyes, yeah
Till she came along
There was nothing but an empty space
Not a trace
Feels like colored rain, baby
Tastes like colored rain
Bring down colored rain
Rain, oh yeah
Bring it on down baby
I can feel those colored changes
Going through my mind
United with a feeling
Bringing love into my eyes, yeah
Till she came along
There was nothing but an empty space
Not a trace
Feels like colored rain, baby
Don't you know it feels like colored rain
Don't you know baby
Its not all the time
That the sun won't shine, baby, yeah
If you love me and you want me to be your man, yeah yeah
There's one thing baby
Every woman should understand, hmmm
Without rain babe
Our love will never come to be
And if you want my sunshine
You've got to accept my hail rain and snow
There's one thing baby
That I want you to do for me yeah
I want you to take our body close
I want you to work that up I know
Take that colored rain
Bring it down yeah
Bring it on down yeah
Bring it on down yeah
Bring it on down yeah
Bring it on down yeah
Bring down colored rain

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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/
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.
