In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Tu cuerpo, mai, me arrebata
Tu cuerpo me vuelve loco
Tu cuerpo, mai, me arrebata
Tu cuerpo me vuelve loco
Tu cuerpo, mai, me arrebata
Tu cuerpo me vuelve loco
Tu cuerpo, mai, me arrebata
Tu cuerpo me vuelve loco
A ti cuando te hicieron la sacaron del parque
Tu pai y tu mai se guillaron
Te hicieron más perfecta que una guitarra
Más curvas, y Trébol Clan sin frenos
Esta noche te invito a salir
Para poder probar tu cuerpo
Si tú te zafas, yo me zafo
Y si te luces, yo me luzco
Si tú me besas, yo te beso
Si tú te pegas, yo te guayo
Así empezamos y lo bailamos
Así empezamos, escucha esto
La llevo a la disco y le voy a hacer
La llevo en mi carro y le voy a hacer
La cojo con el Don y le voy a hacer
Donde quiera que la coja le voy a hacer
Tu cuerpo a mí me mata, nena
Tu cuerpo a mí me vuelve loco
Tu cuerpo a mí me mata, nena
Tu cuerpo a mí me vuelve loco
Tu cuerpo a mí me mata, nena
Tu cuerpo a mí me vuelve loco
Tu cuerpo a mí me mata, nena
Tu cuerpo a mí me vuelve loco
Mírala como va
Bailando por encima del suelo
Sus caderas son un viaje al cielo
Y me encanta cuando coge vuelo
Mírala como va
Bailando por encima del suelo
Sus caderas son un viaje al cielo
Y me encanta cuando coge vuelo
Tu cuerpo, mai, me arrebata
Tu cuerpo me vuelve loco
Tu cuerpo, mai, me arrebata
Tu cuerpo me vuelve loco
Tu cuerpo, mai, me arrebata
Tu cuerpo me vuelve loco
Tu cuerpo, mai, me arrebata
Tu cuerpo me vuelve loco
Tu cuerpo, mami, es el que me arrebata
Tu cuerpo es el que a mí me vuelve loco
Tu cuerpo a mí mente hipnotiza
Con una mirada tuya me hechiza
Mamita, dime que yo hago ahora
Si yo quisiera hacerte mi señora
Si el aire que respiro te adora
El corazón me late cien por hora
Tu cuerpo a mí me mata, nena
Tu cuerpo a mí me vuelve loco
Tu cuerpo a mí me mata, nena
Tu cuerpo a mí me vuelve loco
Bandida, tu cuerpo me arrebata
Me vuelve loco
Bandida, tu cuerpo me arrebata
Me vuelve loco
La llevo a la disco y le voy a hacer
La llevo en mi carro y le voy a hacer
La cojo con el Don y le voy a hacer
Donde quiera que la coja le voy a hacer
Tu cuerpo, mai, me arrebata
Tu cuerpo me vuelve loco
Tu cuerpo, mai, me arrebata
Tu cuerpo me vuelve loco
Tu cuerpo, mai, me arrebata
Tu cuerpo me vuelve loco
Tu cuerpo, mai, me arrebata
Tu cuerpo me vuelve loco
Tu cuerpo me vuelve loco
Tu cuerpo, mai, me arrebata
Tu cuerpo me vuelve loco
Tu cuerpo, mai, me arrebata
Tu cuerpo me vuelve loco
Tu cuerpo, mai, me arrebata
Tu cuerpo me vuelve loco
A ti cuando te hicieron la sacaron del parque
Tu pai y tu mai se guillaron
Te hicieron más perfecta que una guitarra
Más curvas, y Trébol Clan sin frenos
Esta noche te invito a salir
Para poder probar tu cuerpo
Si tú te zafas, yo me zafo
Y si te luces, yo me luzco

Tu cuerpo a mí me mata, nena
Tu cuerpo a mí me vuelve loco
Tu cuerpo a mí me mata, nena
Tu cuerpo a mí me vuelve loco
Tu cuerpo a mí me mata, nena
Tu cuerpo a mí me vuelve loco
Mírala como va
Bailando por encima del suelo
Sus caderas son un viaje al cielo
Y me encanta cuando coge vuelo
Mírala como va
Bailando por encima del suelo
Sus caderas son un viaje al cielo
Y me encanta cuando coge vuelo
Tu cuerpo, mai, me arrebata

Tu cuerpo me vuelve loco
Tu cuerpo, mai, me arrebata
Tu cuerpo me vuelve loco
Tu cuerpo, mai, me arrebata
Tu cuerpo me vuelve loco

The Night We Met

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
