This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Full count satuday night
I grab onto you,
It's just our luck
There's only pitchers left to hit,
With every loss the Mets take I get Walks off you game for game
Bell rings seven a.m.
It's all in your dreams,
I guess it's cool to stay in school
unless it's you,
So all they learn is what you can't wake up to say,
Anything goes today.
What makes me think I'm gonna find peace again
It only comes when no one's home but you,
If what you walk in with,
Sit with your friends is a never-miss
Is it the temporary looks that shrink to fit?
No one gets up to laughs anymore
There's no more jokes if we can't lie back down,
Everything drifts away
Nothing's attached to stay
Everyone moves into the shad when it's too bright out
And they just wait it out.
And if I'm sitting across from an old friend
Best of both worlds
And a pretty neat end
How come you're making me mad again.
If the point is to end up with a backyard
Give up all the easy and take all the hard
How come we only got this so far,
And the truth is you CAN get you see fit
You will but then you won't like it all comes down to how much how quick
And now I've one wrapped in the future
One stuck in the after
One set to stay right here
I grab onto you,
It's just our luck
There's only pitchers left to hit,
With every loss the Mets take I get Walks off you game for game
Bell rings seven a.m.
It's all in your dreams,
I guess it's cool to stay in school
unless it's you,
So all they learn is what you can't wake up to say,
Anything goes today.
What makes me think I'm gonna find peace again
It only comes when no one's home but you,
If what you walk in with,
Sit with your friends is a never-miss
Is it the temporary looks that shrink to fit?
No one gets up to laughs anymore
There's no more jokes if we can't lie back down,
Everything drifts away
Nothing's attached to stay
Everyone moves into the shad when it's too bright out
And they just wait it out.
And if I'm sitting across from an old friend
Best of both worlds
And a pretty neat end
How come you're making me mad again.
If the point is to end up with a backyard
Give up all the easy and take all the hard
How come we only got this so far,
And the truth is you CAN get you see fit
You will but then you won't like it all comes down to how much how quick
And now I've one wrapped in the future
One stuck in the after
One set to stay right here

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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
And if I'm sitting across from an old friend Best of both worlds And a pretty neat end How come you're making me mad again.
That is my favorite part of the song. This song is a fantastic, well-written masterpiece. If you have not heard it, go listen to it now!
