For those who fancy coloring books,
And lots of people do.
Here's a new one for you.
A most unusual coloring book,
The kind you never see.
Crayons ready, very well,
Begin to color me.
These are the eyes that watched him
When you walked away,
Color them grey.
This is the heart, that thought he would always be true,
Color it blue.
These are the arms that held him
And touched him and lost him somehow.
Color them empty now.
These are the beads,
I wore until she came between.
Color them green.
This is the room I sleep in, and walk in,
And weep in and die in that nobody sees.
Color it lonely, please.
This is the boy, whose love I depended upon.
Color him gone.
And lots of people do.
Here's a new one for you.
A most unusual coloring book,
The kind you never see.
Crayons ready, very well,
Begin to color me.
These are the eyes that watched him
When you walked away,
Color them grey.
This is the heart, that thought he would always be true,
Color it blue.
These are the arms that held him
And touched him and lost him somehow.
Color them empty now.
These are the beads,
I wore until she came between.
Color them green.
This is the room I sleep in, and walk in,
And weep in and die in that nobody sees.
Color it lonely, please.
This is the boy, whose love I depended upon.
Color him gone.

Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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/
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.
