Never had a point of view
'Cause my mind was always someone else's mind

I never had to tell a lie
Cause I left the choices up to them
Don't know why but I did

Oh I want life
Life wants me
To breath in it's love

Take me I'm yours
Now I'm comin' up for air
I'm gonna live my time
For the rest of my life
Then I'll be comin' back for more

I never had to call the tune
'Cause I always drifted with the tide of the moon
(Ah la luna, my love, my love, my love)

I would go out every night
Looking for someone to treat me right
Not a chance (chance) not a hope (hope)
In this world (world)

Oh I want life
Life wants me
To breath in it's love

Take me I'm yours
Now I'm comin' up for air
I'm gonna live my time
For the rest of my life
Then I'll be comin' back for more

Take me I'm yours
Now I'm comin' up for air
I'm gonna live my time
For the rest of my life
Then I'll be comin' back for more

(More)

Take me I'm yours
Now I'm comin' up for air
I'm gonna live my time
For the rest of my life
Then I'll be coming back for more (more)
(oh yeah) (More)

    Start living your life for you, and stop living it for others is what I get from this song.

    I know this song was written before Andy says he knew he was HIV-positive, but still I can't help but think about it when I hear this song. Sort of the stage right after acceptance and overcoming the fear of death; wanting to live fully until the very end.

    At least that's the feeling I get from the song. After a long, hard time I found out, last year, that i was BPD and knowing that lead to a lot of feelings. Frustration, among other things.But after a while, acceptance and also, in a way, a will to embrace it. And somehow listening to this song gives me hope that I can do anything. Kind of. It's very liberating.

    My Interpretation

    For me, this song is about no longer apologizing for being who you are. It reminds me of coming out to my family and friends many hears ago. Life is a lot easier when one doesn't have to hide any longer it's about self acceptance for me. No regrets, no apologies.

    My Interpretation

    People here are so correct, this song is about finally deciding to be true to who you are, and no longer repressing yourself for other people's approval. Please never do that, it will do no good for anyone and just hurt you.

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/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“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.
