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”
The very first time that I saw your brown eyes
Your lips said "Hello" and I said "Hi"
I knew right then you were the one
But I was caught up in physical attraction
But to my satisfaction
Baby, you were more than just a face
And if I ever (ever fall)
In love again (again)
I will be sure that the lady is a friend
And if I ever (ever fall)
In love so true (so true)
I will be sure that the lady's just like you
Oh, yeah, yeah, y-y-y-yeah
The very next time she'll be my friend
If I say that I could be your one and only
(Promise, promise, promise)
Promise that you'll never leave me lonely
I just wanna be the one you need, oh baby
I just wanna be the one to serve you
Sometimes I feel as if I don't deserve you
I cherish every moment that we share
And if I ever (ever fall)
In love again (again)
I will be sure that the lady is a friend
And if I ever fall (ever fall)
In love so true (so true)
I will be sure that the lady's just like you
My friend
(The very next time she will be my friend)
I need someone who'll be my friend
(Someone who I can believe in)
My friend
(The very next time she will be my friend)
To be with me through thick and thin
(Someone who I can believe in)
My friend
(The very next time she will be my friend)
Please share my love with me my friend
(Someone who I can believe in)
My friend
(The very next time she will be my friend)
I need someone like you
And if I ever (ever fall)
In love again (again)
I will be sure that the lady is a friend
And if I ever fall (ever fall)
In love so true (so true)
I will be sure that the lady's just like you
Your lips said "Hello" and I said "Hi"
I knew right then you were the one
But I was caught up in physical attraction
But to my satisfaction
Baby, you were more than just a face
And if I ever (ever fall)
In love again (again)
I will be sure that the lady is a friend
And if I ever (ever fall)
In love so true (so true)
I will be sure that the lady's just like you
Oh, yeah, yeah, y-y-y-yeah
The very next time she'll be my friend
If I say that I could be your one and only
(Promise, promise, promise)
Promise that you'll never leave me lonely
I just wanna be the one you need, oh baby
I just wanna be the one to serve you
Sometimes I feel as if I don't deserve you
I cherish every moment that we share
And if I ever (ever fall)
In love again (again)
I will be sure that the lady is a friend
And if I ever fall (ever fall)
In love so true (so true)
I will be sure that the lady's just like you
My friend
(The very next time she will be my friend)
I need someone who'll be my friend

My friend
(The very next time she will be my friend)
To be with me through thick and thin

My friend
(The very next time she will be my friend)
Please share my love with me my friend

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/

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.
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.
