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"
Should have seen those tell tale signs I
Should have read between the lines
Such a fool for love and your lying eyes were
Only here to waste my time but
Ooh you speak the language of love (oh amore)
It came to nothing push to shove
You're just a dum dum boy
Making noise
Dum dum boy dum dum boy
Just a dum dum boy
With all your toys
Such a dum dum boy, dum dum boy
Who do you thing you are
You ain't no superstar
You're just a dum dum boy
That's all you'll ever be
Stay away from me
Hooked me with your lovers lies I
Don't see the warning signs I
Ate it up and swallowed whole
Now your illusion leaves me cold and
Lies s flow so easy from your tongue (slow like honey ah)
Came to nothing when said and don
You're just a dum dum boy
Making noise
Dum dum boy dum dum boy
Just a dum dum boy
With all your toys
Such a dum dum boy, dum dum boy
Who do you thing you are
You ain't no superstar
You're just a dum dum boy
That's all you'll ever be
Stay away from me
It came to nothing, dum
It came to nothing, dum
It came to nothing, dum
It came to nothing, dum
Dum dum boy
Making noise
Dum dum boy dum dum boy
Just a dum dum boy
With all your toys
Such a dum dum boy, dum dum boy
Dum dum boy
Making noise
Dum dum boy dum dum boy
Just a dum dum boy
With all your toys
Such a dum dum boy, dum dum boy
Who do you thing you are
You ain't no superstar
You're just a dum dum boy
That's all you'll ever be
Stay away from me
Should have read between the lines
Such a fool for love and your lying eyes were
Only here to waste my time but
Ooh you speak the language of love (oh amore)
It came to nothing push to shove
You're just a dum dum boy
Making noise
Dum dum boy dum dum boy
Just a dum dum boy
With all your toys
Such a dum dum boy, dum dum boy
Who do you thing you are
You ain't no superstar
You're just a dum dum boy
That's all you'll ever be
Stay away from me
Hooked me with your lovers lies I
Don't see the warning signs I
Ate it up and swallowed whole
Now your illusion leaves me cold and
Lies s flow so easy from your tongue (slow like honey ah)
Came to nothing when said and don
You're just a dum dum boy
Making noise
Dum dum boy dum dum boy
Just a dum dum boy
With all your toys
Such a dum dum boy, dum dum boy
Who do you thing you are
You ain't no superstar
You're just a dum dum boy
That's all you'll ever be
Stay away from me
It came to nothing, dum
It came to nothing, dum
It came to nothing, dum
It came to nothing, dum
Dum dum boy

Dum dum boy dum dum boy
Just a dum dum boy
With all your toys
Such a dum dum boy, dum dum boy

Dum dum boy dum dum boy
Just a dum dum boy
With all your toys
Such a dum dum boy, dum dum boy
Who do you thing you are
You ain't no superstar
You're just a dum dum boy
That's all you'll ever be
Stay away from me

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/

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.
