We all knew this day was coming
Our bitter hearts can hear it calling
So proud of what you've done, so proud of who you are
Standing tall next to all the buildings
And filling up will all the reasons why you should never trust yourself
The way to fool yourself... I'm fooled.

It's those nights alone when you're driving
And the sky just looks a little funny
You're thinking of the worst, you figure out the worst
Right after you figure it all out,
You find a way to straighten your head out
But what if you're wrong and the world is adding up
It's throwing signs from random places
To keep you at your toes so you don't figure it out
Before you figure it out

We fall to our knees and beg
The words are gone
It's just a thought

And we fall and we fall
And we fall to our knees
And we fall and we fall
[Our bitter hearts can hear it calling
So proud of what we've done.]

Cajun Girl
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
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,
