This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Would you pay life's pleasures to see me?
Does it hurt, for I want you to remain?
I run your hair through, in another decade
Summerland holds me, in sumerian haze
Pain in places, where the lovers mourn
Arranging the play things, up and down the hall
Forever remain, for every day
My honor remains, forever remain
Between the spaces along the wall
Appearing faces that disappear at dawn
We're getting closer, I can see the door
Closer and closer, Kthulhu calls
Forever remain, forever remain
You'll seek it, it'll take a while
You'll seek this, if it's a thousand miles
Take what fate brings, eternal and desire
I'll change those faces, then I take their smile
We're getting close to you, I can see the door
Closer and closer, or is it there at all
Forever remain, forever remain
This could be my last regress, last exit for the lost
This could be my last regress, last exit for the lost
This could be my last regress, precious for the lost
Does it hurt, for I want you to remain?
I run your hair through, in another decade
Summerland holds me, in sumerian haze
Pain in places, where the lovers mourn
Arranging the play things, up and down the hall
Forever remain, for every day
My honor remains, forever remain
Between the spaces along the wall
Appearing faces that disappear at dawn
We're getting closer, I can see the door
Closer and closer, Kthulhu calls
Forever remain, forever remain
You'll seek it, it'll take a while
You'll seek this, if it's a thousand miles
Take what fate brings, eternal and desire
I'll change those faces, then I take their smile
We're getting close to you, I can see the door
Closer and closer, or is it there at all
Forever remain, forever remain
This could be my last regress, last exit for the lost
This could be my last regress, last exit for the lost
This could be my last regress, precious for the lost

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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/
This is a song about an addict relapsing one last time towards overdose and death, or saving himslef in the last exit for the lost, and riding towrds the sunset. Or maybe it's just the everyday of a borderline person trying to live to see another day. It is pure beauty- pain,anger, and hope, mixed in a spiky goth liquid.
"we're getting close to you, I can see the door Closer and closer, or is it there at all
Forever remain, forever remain
This could be my last regress, last exit for the lost"
This is my favorite for the fields, wondering if someone can tell the exact meaning of it.
I think it's based on the narrative of the novel (and later film with Robin Williams) of "What Dreams May Come" where the protagonist dies, passes over to the otherworld and journeys from the Summerlands ( one form of heaven) to rescue his wife who, having committed suicide in her grief, finds herself stuck and lost in a hell- realm.<br /> <br /> His guide advises him that he only has a brief moment after locating his wife to pursuade her that she does not have to remain there; only her belief in her suroundings is keeping her trapped, but the nature of the hell-realm is that if he remains too long, he too will begin to be convinced of it's "reality" and will also "lose himself" and be unable to return to the Summerlands. Hence one regress to hell, and only one possibility of his safe exit.It also conveys the sense of the journey to hell, which is made on foot and is a gradual descent into darker and more nightmarish places - " It's getting closer..." etc.<br /> <br /> I love the novel and film, and how the Neph have added their own, completely fitting sountrack to it.
The song is about one of the sub cults of the Cthulhu Mythos by Alastair Crowley. A follower giving themselves to the cult in return they hope to meet the beast and hasten the return of the "great old ones".
The Chtulhu mythos was created by horror writer H.P. Lovecraft, not Crowley. There are many short stories and a couple of novellas that feature beings and deities from the mythos. In turn it has inspired many bands, several rather bad movies, and a few equally disappointing video games. On the while though the books are great. As for the meaning of the song there is definitely a mythos influence but I wonder if they might be a useful metaphor for something more personal. For me it has undertones of struggle against depression and suicidal thoughts, and the ultimate loss in that battle.
