This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
L'via, hija de miranda
Tu apellido se cambió
L'via, sin ojos me quieres dar
Una historia sin mi madre
Sólo tengo que decirte
El dolor de noche dice
Sólo se quedó el vestido
Le lavé la sangre
L'via, no dejes de descansar
En la calle caminas
¿quién te va a perseguir?
L'via, te quieren matar
Dientes de machete, cabeza de gallo
L'via, volviendo en pas
Abre los ojos, tú no cambiaras
L'via, soñando de venganza
Yo te lo juro
Lo van a pagar
Blackmail she fell off every mountain
The ones they tightly wrapped in tape
In hurried razors snag the guilty
As it made the best mistakes
And with every body that I find
And with every claymore that they mine
I won't forget who I'm looking for
Oh mother help me, I'm looking for
L'via, hija de miranda
Tu apellido se cambió
L'via, sin ojos me quieres dar
Una historia sin mi madre
Sólo tengo que decirte
El dolor de noche dice
Sólo se quedo el vestido
Le lavé la sangre
Blackmail she fell off every mountain
The ones they tightly wrapped in tape
In hurried razors snag the guilty
As it made the best mistakes
And with every body that I find
And with every claymore that they mine
I won't forget who I'm looking for
Oh mother help me, I'm looking for
Sólo tengo una hora
Y me duermo terminado
Por veinte cinco años pasaron
Siguen los cuerpos aqui temblando
Tomé la sangre, comà el cuerpo
Mis lagrimas
Quiebra el espejo
When all the worms come crawling out your head
Telling you, don't you be afraid
When all the worms come crawling out your head
Telling you, don't you be afraid
Blackmail she fell off every mountain
The ones they tightly wrapped in tape
In hurried razors snag the guilty
As it made the best mistakes
Sharkhides got tangled in the mausoleum
Urgent plea of escape
A melted mouth on the chalkboard
Written in fingernail distastes
And with every body that i find
And with every claymore that they mine
I wont forget who I'm looking for
Oh mother help me, I'm looking for
Blackmail she fell off every mountain
The ones they tightly wrapped in tape
And hurried razors snag the guilty
As it made the best mistakes
And with every body that i find
And with every claymore that they mine
I won't forget who I'm looking for
oh mother help me, I'm looking for
Tu apellido se cambió
L'via, sin ojos me quieres dar
Una historia sin mi madre
Sólo tengo que decirte
El dolor de noche dice
Sólo se quedó el vestido
Le lavé la sangre
L'via, no dejes de descansar
En la calle caminas
¿quién te va a perseguir?
L'via, te quieren matar
Dientes de machete, cabeza de gallo
L'via, volviendo en pas
Abre los ojos, tú no cambiaras
L'via, soñando de venganza
Yo te lo juro
Lo van a pagar
Blackmail she fell off every mountain
The ones they tightly wrapped in tape
In hurried razors snag the guilty
As it made the best mistakes
And with every body that I find
And with every claymore that they mine
I won't forget who I'm looking for
Oh mother help me, I'm looking for

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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/

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.
