Waiting
For a change in the weather
I'm waiting for a shift in the air
Could we get it together, ever
Hoping for your return, hoping for your sweet, sweet
Return
Hello
Is this heaven calling
Hello, hello, is somebody there, she must be somewhere
And then she says hello, hello, hello
She's really an angel
She stands in the sunshine
She's closing her eyes, she starting to dream
She's pulling the strings
She's dreaming a strange dream

Where nothing is grey
Then she takes me away and she's pulling the strings
When she's playing with love
She's playing with love
She's playing with love
She's playing with love
She's playing with love
She's playing with love
She's playing with love

Counting
I count every second
And I'm standing
I stand in the rain, I walk up that lane
Which leads to the sunshine
She stands in the sunshine
She's closing her eyes
Then she takes me away and she's pulling the strings
When she's playing with love
She's playing with love
She's playing with love
She's playing with love
She's playing with love
She's playing with love
She's playing with love

    Not the greatest lyrics ever penned, but the sustained musical build in this song works very well.

    "Not the greatest lyrics ever penned,"

    I agree, Iron Maiden's "Quest for Fire" is much better! ;)

    (By the way, the live version of this on Dreamscapes CD 4 is awesome.)

    I agree the lyrics aren't so great on their own, but musically this is a great song.

    Musically, the first three songs of the album "Forever Young" were killer. A Victory of Love, Summer in Berlin, and Big in Japan.

    The small touches of these songs were amazing with a string pad coming in just for a second or some other thing. There was something really dark about these songs, but also wonderfully listenable. I don't know if anyone can ever reproduce the same kind of weird magic these songs had.

    An amazing band that was sometimes hit and miss, but when they got it right they did something unique and amazing.

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/

American Town
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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
