Once been drowned, our secret lives
Everyone that needs to hide
Cheaper reign of endless lies
Filters though this lazy eye

And I don't believe in signs
No, I don't believe your lies

Caught in the breakdown
Caught in the breakdown
Caught in the breakdown
Caught in the breakdown

Lose yourself in no one's life
Trapped in nowhere's empty light
Words like fists they tear you down
Crash before they hit the ground

And I don't believe in signs
No, I don't believe your lies

Caught in the breakdown
Caught in the breakdown
Caught in the breakdown
Caught in the breakdown

And I don't believe in sings
No, I don't believe your lies
No, I don't believe your lies

Caught in the breakdown
Caught in the breakdown
Caught in the breakdown
Caught in the breakdown
Caught in the breakdown
Caught in the breakdown
Breakdown
Caught in the breakdown

    Hmm... like when a girl's lying to you and you catch her. You don't have to accuse her or say anything, she knows it, and for some reason it's your fault.

    What can you do? Get an electric and play this song as loud as you can.

    Excellent tune.

    (The world spins 'round the secret lives / Of everyone that needs to hide / A cheap parade of endless lies / Filters through this lazy eye) The world seems to revolve around people that have something to hide. Everyone seems to be lying or hiding something, but he sees through it all. (And I don't believe in signs / No, I don't believe your lies) He doesn't believe in the lies of the world. (Caught in the breakdown) He feels like he's caught in the breakdown of the world, and there's no way out. (Lose yourself in no one's life / Trapped in nowhere's empty light) Now it's about a girl who feels lost in her life, and feels like she's no one. She feels like she's trapped in an empty space. (Words like fists that tear you down / Crash before we hit the ground) There have been a lot of awful things said to her, and the words seem to tear her down, like being hit. Before she's torn all the way down to the ground, she crashes and gets caught in a breakdown.

    That's what I make out of the song.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
