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”
Here I am darling
And I'll care for you, hey that's all I want to do
Hold me, love me, in your heart
And I'll hold you near and I'll whisper in your ear
I'll take your hand and I'll make you understand
Hold me, love me in your heart
And I'll care for you, hey that's all I want to do
Hold me, love me, in your heart
And I'll hold you near and I'll whisper in your ear
I'll take your hand and I'll make you understand
Hold me, love me in your heart

Mountain Song

Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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'

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/

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Here I am, I'm not here now, no, no, no. *
what is the goddamn second line?? it's NOT "i'm not here now, no, no, no". i don't know what deaf man figured this or why it gets reposted to every other lyrics website...? when you watch dan sing it, it looks something like:
"and ah leeda la, my darling"
which, of course, is nonsensical. thoughts anyone?
I'm not sure if the the second line you mean the continuation of that opener<br /> <br /> I think he just sings:<br /> Her I am, Here I am my darling<br /> <br /> Repeating the Here I am a second time, but he noes a little bit of a growl/scat before he gets into that second "Here I am"<br /> <br />
Well its quite obvious its about a girl and hes in love with!

the guitar in this song is so awesome - reminds me of some sound jimmy hendrix songs, the really rough and bluesy sound some of them used to have. but yeah, there's not really much more to say about the lyrics.
its easy to understand (simple), short, and sweet.
Come to think of it, a lot of old and new blues tunes are relatively straightforward in their meaning and backed up with a mesmerizing score. I read a biography on the band and their styles has been called "blues-rock" and I think it's a good choice. The lyrics are emotional and not subtle, and neither are the chords they play. It's loud and raw and it screams "hey look at me". The Black Keys play music for that kind of human heart, at least my opinion.
They are an awesome duo, as is this song.
If this song was any heavier my speakers would crash through the floor.
He definitely says "Here I am now, hey now here I am now darlin"
it's pretty clear in this video as you can see his mouth moving perfectly. youtube.com/watch
