I couldn't understand why you left me
standing here
flickering out like a candle in the wind
the memories are laced with shame
there's no intention of working out the
problem that remains the same

Little children standing in the hall
Never taught them anything at all
if you were young again, would you do
it different?
or make your way just trying to
find the fiction in the fact of life?

Try to believe the words that you said to me are true
but something else assures me I'm not through
been denied so many times and so I'm told to
sit back and ignore the truth
enjoy the ride

Never took a hand with her to school
take a guess then tell us who's the fool
and you're not supposed to be my responsibility
one day you'll regain your pride
and realize life is too short not to try...

Does anybody care?
Does anybody...?
Does anybody care?

    i wonder why nobody added a comment to this great song...

    i think its about a guy who is in love with a girl he knew from school, but he wasnt able to tell her his feelings or take her hand. I think here is the connection to the second part with the young children, they were just too inexperienced (or they just didnt have a clue because they were never taught love?), and couldnt do it different. Now they meet again, and the answer is still no, he leaves him standing alone. But he still wants her, he was denied so many times, now he ignores the truth and hopes she will change her mind, realizing life is too short to try...

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but 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,
