This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Here we stand
Like Adam and an Eve
Waterfall
Garden of Eden
Two fools in love
So beautiful and strong
The birds in the trees
Are smiling upon them
Since the age of the dinosaurs,
Cars have run on gasoline.
Where, where have they gone now?
It's nothing but flowers
There was a factory,
Now there are mountains and rivers
You got it, you got it
We caught a rattlesnake,
Now we've got something for dinner
You got it, you got it
This was a shopping mall,
Now it's all covered with flowers
You got it, you got it
If this is paradise,
I wish I had a lawnmower
You got it, you got it
Years ago
I was an angrier man
I pretend
I was a billboard
Standing tall
By the side of the road
I fell in love
With the beautiful highway
This used to be real estate
Now it's only fields and trees
Where, where is the town now?
It's nothing but flowers
The highway's cars
All sacrificed for agriculture
Guess we thought that we'd start over
But I guess I was wrong
Once there were parking lots,
Now it's a peaceful oasis
You got it, you got it
This was a pizza hut,
Now it's all covered in daisies
You got it, you got it
I miss the ?Honky-Tonks?
Dairy Queens and 7-11s
You got it, you got it
And as these fell apart,
Nobody gave much attention
You got it, you got it
I dream of cherry pies,
Candy bars and chocolate chip cookies
You got it, you got it
We used to microwave,
Now we just eat nuts and berries
You got it, you got it
This was a discount store,
Now it's turned into a cornfield
You got it, you got it
Don't leave me standing here,
I can't get used to this lifestyle
Like Adam and an Eve
Waterfall
Garden of Eden
Two fools in love
So beautiful and strong
The birds in the trees
Are smiling upon them
Since the age of the dinosaurs,
Cars have run on gasoline.
Where, where have they gone now?
It's nothing but flowers
There was a factory,
Now there are mountains and rivers
You got it, you got it
We caught a rattlesnake,
Now we've got something for dinner
You got it, you got it
This was a shopping mall,
Now it's all covered with flowers
You got it, you got it
If this is paradise,
I wish I had a lawnmower
You got it, you got it
Years ago
I was an angrier man
I pretend
I was a billboard
Standing tall
By the side of the road
I fell in love
With the beautiful highway
This used to be real estate
Now it's only fields and trees
Where, where is the town now?
It's nothing but flowers
The highway's cars
All sacrificed for agriculture
Guess we thought that we'd start over
But I guess I was wrong
Once there were parking lots,
Now it's a peaceful oasis
You got it, you got it

Now it's turned into a cornfield
You got it, you got it
Don't leave me standing here,
I can't get used to this lifestyle

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
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
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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I have to move constantly and once in a while I get really attached to a place and then I move so the line I can't get used to this lifestyle is something I can really relate to. I can relate to a lot of songs Guster performs. That's why I love them so much.
