This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
We were blind to the light
We were numb to the world
And the breath of the still
Sent a chill through the days
And the hell of your eyes
And the cracks on your lip
And the cold of your breath
Makes me remember
When we were dead
Now the days never end
There is no sleep for the dead
We are abandoned interred
We are the lost other world
And the hell of your eyes
And the cracks of your lips
And the cold of your breath
Makes me remember
When we were dead
We were numb to the world
And the breath of the still
Sent a chill through the days
And the hell of your eyes
And the cracks on your lip
And the cold of your breath
Makes me remember
When we were dead
Now the days never end
There is no sleep for the dead
We are abandoned interred
We are the lost other world
And the hell of your eyes
And the cracks of your lips
And the cold of your breath
Makes me remember
When we were dead

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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
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.
The music is classic Danzig - really depressing lyrics though - Lighten up Glenn! Your getting more more like Grandpa Simpson You'll be writing about WW1 next!
