This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
We've always been kept in the dark
A vision of our sanctuary overshadowed by deceit from the start
The lie within belief
All our thoughts and uncertainties
Are mirrored by our grieving plea
The breathlessness, the verse of debauchery
Scorched by the tyrants of industry
She cries "What is it you want from me?"
So I will beg the feeble question
Our divided species asks
If we're gunning for this
But we know that it's diminishing fast
Can we at least enjoy it while it lasts?
The tidal waves of fear are bearing down on me
Our confusion connects us, our deception unites us
Said the nomad to the sea
What is home without these streets I know?
Our destiny is at our feet
We can march without this beat I know
Never say, nihilist of modern day
Never say, nihilist of modern day
Let's feel, let's feel this together
We are a species of course we fight
Fighting started life
It's time to rectify
Stop living in your fantasy lives
Don't let your body be a graveyard for your mind
Go
Turn it up, turn it up
This is a broadcast brought to you by the rank and file not the back of the room
Exploit our minds and keep us idolizing ignorance
There's a spark in the fuse
There's a fire inside that'll guide us through
The remains of a nation divided (divided)
Said the nomad to the sea
What is home without these streets I know?
Our destiny is at our feet
We can march without this beat I know
Never safe, in a black market democracy
Never safe, to no avail we turn the other way
To no avail we turn the other way
Let's feel, let's feel this together
All of my struggles
Like steel trying to become wood
But seeing it in others is a forest fire
All of my struggles
We're still trying to become one
When will we learn that all we have is enough?
Said the nomad to the sea
What is home without these streets I know?
We're blinded by our needs
Our destiny is at our feet
We can march without this beat I know
A vision of our sanctuary overshadowed by deceit from the start
The lie within belief
All our thoughts and uncertainties
Are mirrored by our grieving plea
The breathlessness, the verse of debauchery
Scorched by the tyrants of industry
She cries "What is it you want from me?"
So I will beg the feeble question
Our divided species asks
If we're gunning for this
But we know that it's diminishing fast
Can we at least enjoy it while it lasts?
The tidal waves of fear are bearing down on me
Our confusion connects us, our deception unites us
Said the nomad to the sea
What is home without these streets I know?
Our destiny is at our feet
We can march without this beat I know
Never say, nihilist of modern day
Never say, nihilist of modern day
Let's feel, let's feel this together
We are a species of course we fight
Fighting started life

Stop living in your fantasy lives
Don't let your body be a graveyard for your mind
Go
Turn it up, turn it up
This is a broadcast brought to you by the rank and file not the back of the room

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

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 is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Just A Little Lovin'
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/
