This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I see a new beginning
As I'm moving towards my grave
I'll be rising from this life into silent darkness
It's just a glimpse of our time
I must act while I'm clear in my mind
Soon I'll be the ghost that lived with fury
And no one's listening in my mind, no
I'm searching for an inner sign
I'm crying colder, the lying's older
Fading are my eyes
Can you catch me I'm a falling sparrow
After all, don't let my soul wings die
We see the world in different stages
Always climbing from our blues
I guess the sour taste of bitterness can breed evil
If we could stop and turn back time here
Would we remove ourselves from crime
Some people say they're doing fine
But there's a struggle in their minds
Feel it coming, no more dawning
Fading are my eyes
Angel catch me, I'm a falling sparrow
After all, don't let my soul wings die
Feel it coming, no more dawning... no more
I'm crying colder, the lying's older
Fading are my eyes
Feel it coming, no more dawning
Fading are my eyes
Angel catch me, I'm a falling sparrow
After all, don't let my soul wings die
As I'm moving towards my grave
I'll be rising from this life into silent darkness
It's just a glimpse of our time
I must act while I'm clear in my mind
Soon I'll be the ghost that lived with fury
And no one's listening in my mind, no
I'm searching for an inner sign
I'm crying colder, the lying's older
Fading are my eyes
Can you catch me I'm a falling sparrow
After all, don't let my soul wings die
We see the world in different stages
Always climbing from our blues
I guess the sour taste of bitterness can breed evil
If we could stop and turn back time here
Would we remove ourselves from crime
Some people say they're doing fine
But there's a struggle in their minds
Feel it coming, no more dawning
Fading are my eyes
Angel catch me, I'm a falling sparrow
After all, don't let my soul wings die
Feel it coming, no more dawning... no more
I'm crying colder, the lying's older
Fading are my eyes
Feel it coming, no more dawning
Fading are my eyes
Angel catch me, I'm a falling sparrow
After all, don't let my soul wings die

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/
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
First comment? serious? this song is AMAZING! that's all i can say, other than this is about an event, a tragedy (sour taste of bitterness) and the "evil" is revenge. something happened to the person the song refers to and they are falling, hoping someone will catch the.
The falling sparrow is someone who commits a crime and lies about it that causes the people to live bitterly becomes of it and are influenced to commit similar crimes and causes just an onslaught of evil incarnate.
The falling part is only expressive of the fact that they're old and on the way out and only then realize what they've done probably because the evil started impacting them too while they were caught up reaping the rewards from the lie
In a short stage of their life they try and tell everyone what's happened but they lies are so much older that the people just believe it even coming from him
Then as the song repeats a lot it's all just desperate pleading for spirits to listen, for the angels to catch him, asking for forgiveness in the afterlife instead of living in "silent darkness" as the first part says that he realized he was going towards.
It might even be suggesting that they give up and live the rest of their life in dark silence, giving up as no one would listen, no longer being able to make a difference.
Also no idea if the 'fallen' part and the album being aeronautics are interconnected. Either way, this is the clearest interpretation I could formulate. /out
