Rash Reflection

Skinny Puppy

notice that phrase
through vileness
of his delivery
ninety seven cars and free love
kiss the master's feet
poor soul searching

all this seen
deeper stillness
tranquility
eat the food drug
passive response
spoiled putty in the master's hand

all this seen is obscure enough
kiss the master's feet
kiss the master's feet
sure that vision
kiss the master's feet
kiss the master's feet
sure that vision
is a vagrant holiday

reflective silence
chooses one stance
hidden behind
throne of freedom
in the field of the black sheep

all this seen is obscure enough

confess
all the truth seekers
see for the first time
cult grows from a rolls royce dream
preach from the back of a limosine
feel the rash burn
notice that phrase
through the vileness
how sweet
???
sure that vision
kiss the master's feet
kiss the master's feet
sure that vision
is a vagrant holiday

feel the rash start to burn

    this song is about televangelists and their flock of willing servants. the evangelist makes great money and has lots of material things, but it's all a lie. the people being fooled are "feeling the rash" when they look at the televangelist with open eyes.

Gentle Hour
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
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/

Magical
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.

Punchline

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
