This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
it’s freezing outside now.
it’s crowded, it’s loud as hell in here.
my mission; to kill her.
yhe incision... it will hurt.
i’m staring. stop staring.
she’s wearing my favorite shirt.
go for it. before she sees me.
she’s got that sweater on.
the leaves like feathers are
falling from the trees,
and I don’t want to kiss you anyway.
she’s got those eyes that I’ve been looking for.
who is that guy that seems to be gaurding her?
he’s up in that tier, and the chandelier
is going to fall on her if he takes his eyes off her.
i’ve got the shot,
I know I should,
but it’s so hard,
you look so good.
go for it. before she kills me.
she’s got that sweater on.
confetti feathers are
falling on fake trees.
I don’t want to kiss you anyway.
she’s stunning in that elegant costume.
i’m on her tail I break a sweat I wasn’t supposed to have regrets.
i’ll pinch him, pinch her, and then run.
i’m standing under the tier that he’s on.
pull the hammer with my thumb.
the masquerade is scattering,
i’m making sure I stay behind her she’s the one with wings.
i’m catching up, i’m getting close,
i’m making sure she’s dead
from her head down to her toes.
run for it.
if she cries than i’m not giving in,
but what if I choke?
what if I don’t?
what if my cigarette won’t smoke?
what if she says that she’s in love with me?
she’s got that sweater on,
she stops and turns around,
falling to the ground,
she asks me not to kill her,
i’m leaning down to kiss her,
she’s asking me to hold her,
how did she pull my trigger???
falling to the ground,
I didn’t want to kiss you anyway.
she’s running,
i’m bleeding,
her costume was tearing,
I finally stop staring.
it’s crowded, it’s loud as hell in here.
my mission; to kill her.
yhe incision... it will hurt.
i’m staring. stop staring.
she’s wearing my favorite shirt.
go for it. before she sees me.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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
Ed Sheeran
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.
this song is really good...the way he sings it is wonderful its the best way they couldve ended the album
