This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
She comes down to Georgia to dance across my kitchen floor,
Leavin' black marks on linoleum, a country song on the radio
I am just a rodeo calf with tender feet and sewn on horns and
Love is a kindness that I've never known before,
I've never known before
She say's "I'm bound to Carolina to join the kids in 'truth or dare'"
And she laughs and says its just a game when I tell her that I'm scared
I am just a dog waitin' at the kitchen door,
Love is a kindness that I've never known before,
I've never known before
Make it last, make it stay
Can you hold on long enough to make this pay
She said," My daddy was a grifter and I was in my momma's way,
So I drifted for a while, because I could not stand to stay"
And she said, "Love is a kindness that I've never understood"
I said, "I'll give it to you willingly, its something you deserve,
Its something you deserve"
And I'll make it last, I'll make it stay
If you can hold on long enough I can make this pay
'Cause I am just a calf with tender feet and sewn on horns,
Love is a prize waitin' on her at the rodeo
Leavin' black marks on linoleum, a country song on the radio
I am just a rodeo calf with tender feet and sewn on horns and
Love is a kindness that I've never known before,
I've never known before
She say's "I'm bound to Carolina to join the kids in 'truth or dare'"
And she laughs and says its just a game when I tell her that I'm scared
I am just a dog waitin' at the kitchen door,
Love is a kindness that I've never known before,
I've never known before
Make it last, make it stay
Can you hold on long enough to make this pay
She said," My daddy was a grifter and I was in my momma's way,
So I drifted for a while, because I could not stand to stay"
And she said, "Love is a kindness that I've never understood"
I said, "I'll give it to you willingly, its something you deserve,
Its something you deserve"
And I'll make it last, I'll make it stay
If you can hold on long enough I can make this pay
'Cause I am just a calf with tender feet and sewn on horns,
Love is a prize waitin' on her at the rodeo

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
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,
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.
