You can't always be the strange one
I'm spending you without a hope
For one

Pride in yourself into it
If you don't wanna stay
Go out into the light
You'll be better off that way

I've got no motive
4 people do good
4 people do good
(When I see you right there)

I've got no motive
4 people do good
4 people do good
(When I see you right there)

I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know
Send me downstairs

You stand there, you stand there
Watch him wonder
If he's wondering about the star

If he's wondering where they'll make him stay
If he doesn't want to stay
So you'll never be alone
Hey

I've got no motive
4 people do good
4 people do good
(When I see you right there)

I've got no motive
4 people do good
4 people do good
(When I see you right there)

    You can't always be the strange one I spent a year without a hope, forlorn Fighting yourself into it If you don't wanna stay Don't add to the lie You'll be better off that way

    I've got no motives 4 people do good 4 people do good I've got no motives 4 people do good 4 people do good

    I know, I know, I know I know, I know, I know, you see me dancing So, you stand there, you stand there You watch in wonder If he's wondering about the star If he's a wonder away Don't make him stay If he doesn't want to stay So you'll never be alone Hey I've got no motives 4 people do good 4 people do good I've got no motives 4 people do good 4 people do good

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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/

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
