This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Who's got all the answers to questions that Rebecca has?
She's been cluelessly wondering just how long she's been had,
She knows more than you or me and she never thinks she's wrong,
It seems the tables are turning; she found herself hurting for oh so long
Does anybody out there want to help Rebecca find a clue to life;
I guess she feels she was the victim and we are the knife.
There is a price to pay when you put on that face and roll the dice,
One day soon you'll realize the world ain't that nice
[Chorus]
Are you alright and are you OK?
Didn't anybody ever give a care around your way?
Will you be all right after we go?
Won't you tell me someday oh I'll never know
Everybody knows you can't read the writing on the wall
So don't come in.
Even you and I know you can't
And you won't want to start this thing all over again.
Why don't you just drive on down that line,
Cause we don't have to let you in.
Well, you seem to think you know it all;
Let me tell you something, you can't win
[Chorus]
Hey, Rebecca this is your pilot speaking
And you're about to land.
I hope you got all your answers
And you've come to understand.
That people and things are always going to change
And you can't stop them now,
Will you look back and let me know if?
[Chorus]
Oh I'll never know
Oh I'll never know
Oh I'll never know
Hey, Rebecca this is your pilot speaking
And your about to land
Come to understand
You can't stop.
She's been cluelessly wondering just how long she's been had,
She knows more than you or me and she never thinks she's wrong,
It seems the tables are turning; she found herself hurting for oh so long
Does anybody out there want to help Rebecca find a clue to life;
I guess she feels she was the victim and we are the knife.
There is a price to pay when you put on that face and roll the dice,
One day soon you'll realize the world ain't that nice
[Chorus]
Are you alright and are you OK?
Didn't anybody ever give a care around your way?
Will you be all right after we go?
Won't you tell me someday oh I'll never know
Everybody knows you can't read the writing on the wall
So don't come in.
Even you and I know you can't
And you won't want to start this thing all over again.
Why don't you just drive on down that line,
Cause we don't have to let you in.
Well, you seem to think you know it all;

Oh I'll never know
Oh I'll never know
Oh I'll never know
Hey, Rebecca this is your pilot speaking
And your about to land
Come to understand
You can't stop.

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,

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
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/
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.
After much consideration, I think of this song as a strong statement to a girl that was once romantic with him, but before they ever were together, they were friends. He is saying to her, I am ok now, I am fine, but will you be ok? He is worried if she is ok, but he is realizing at the same time it doesn't matter. Kind of a last call for the reinstatement of their friendship...or something. It also holds general themes of life regarding not being able to know everything. One of my favorite songs, very well written.
