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”
My friends could say
that this was fun
while sickly I'm staring out a window
I can see this other than chasing
something that I
always wanted you to know
all of this will have to end someday
the time will come when nobody's leaving
shut your eyes with me
again and again
and think about just what you believe in
I think I understand these thoughts
(I'm thinking everything's a feeling)
Lay in bed all day just to be with you
talk all night while staring at a ceiling
came up with this off of a notion
still can't sleep cause of all the stupid motion
want you with me
so you can see this
say it again and know that I mean it
I won't give up on you
You know that's what I'm sayin'
Tell me you know its true
Thank you for always stayin'
Please say you're near
not far but near
When I'm away
Be back one day
My friends still say
that this is fun
and I sit here staring out a window
I can say now
this is worth the call
in the morning
to tell you something you should know
Don't need a break when its all done
Doing something that I always dreamed of
I can say for sure that everything
when your screaming out....to up above
I won't give up on you
You know that's what I'm sayin'
Tell me you know its true
Thank you for always stayin'
I won't give up on you
(I won't give up)
Please say you're always stayin'
that this was fun
while sickly I'm staring out a window
I can see this other than chasing
something that I
always wanted you to know
all of this will have to end someday
the time will come when nobody's leaving
shut your eyes with me
again and again
and think about just what you believe in
I think I understand these thoughts
(I'm thinking everything's a feeling)
Lay in bed all day just to be with you
talk all night while staring at a ceiling
came up with this off of a notion
still can't sleep cause of all the stupid motion
want you with me
so you can see this
say it again and know that I mean it
I won't give up on you
You know that's what I'm sayin'
Tell me you know its true
Thank you for always stayin'
Please say you're near
not far but near
When I'm away
Be back one day
My friends still say
that this is fun
and I sit here staring out a window
I can say now
this is worth the call
in the morning
to tell you something you should know
Don't need a break when its all done
Doing something that I always dreamed of
I can say for sure that everything
when your screaming out....to up above
I won't give up on you
You know that's what I'm sayin'
Tell me you know its true
Thank you for always stayin'
I won't give up on you
(I won't give up)
Please say you're always stayin'

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” 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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I love this song. It reminds me of one of my best friends, who's come back whenever I shut them out of my life intentionally & has always been there when I need it.
