In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Feeling all your touching
Feeling all your blood
Feeling all your touching
Feeling all your love
Seen it though a windscreen
Seen it through the clouds
Seen it in a bad dream
Seen it in your heart
Feeling all your touching
Feeling all your love
Feeling all your touching
Feeling all your love
Feeling all your blood
Feeling all your touching
Feeling all your love
Seen it though a windscreen
Seen it through the clouds
Seen it in a bad dream
Seen it in your heart
Feeling all your touching
Feeling all your love
Feeling all your touching
Feeling all your love

Gentle Hour

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/
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.
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.
I love this.
I feel a connection to this song unlike any other PT song I know. It's fucking beautiful. The only thing that throws it off for me is the "La, sha-la-la-la" segment because it's quite disjointing it seems. Other than that, it's just something I can unwind to. It makes me think of my first love.<br /> <br /> Feeling all your touching (memories)<br /> Feeling all your blood (death)<br /> Feeling all your touching (memories)<br /> Feeling all your love (memories)<br /> <br /> Seen it through a windscreen (demise)<br /> Seen it through the cloud (this lyric is... incorrect. it's "seen it through the GLASS" - and that's kind of like saying, imagined something before it happened, from the outside where he could not affect it)<br /> Seen it in a bad dream (imagining, not wanting it to happen)<br /> Seen it in your heart (knowing it to be true in the other's heart)<br /> <br /> I think it's about the ending of a relationship, cast onto the metaphor of a car crash.
