Let's talk about love
Let's talk about love
Ooh love

You can feel it, but you can't see it
You can't taste it, but you can hear it
You can say it, if you don't mean it
You can buy it, if you don't need it
You talk so much about it, what is the meaning
It makes no sense, so what's the reason
Tell me why do we fall in love?

They say only fool's fall in love, but love was meant for all of us
So what we think we know we don't, cause you can never know enough
Do we think love is so material so physical, and sensual
Cause in the war it will destroy your soul, so one really knows

It can make you laugh
Make you cry
Make you tell the truth
Make you tell a lie
It could be your life
Or it could be your death
Figure it out, it makes no sense

You can feel it, but you can't see it
You can't taste it, but you can hear it
You can say it, if you don't mean it
You can buy it, if you don't need it
You talk so much about it, what is the meaning
It makes no sense, so what's the reason
Tell me why do we fall in love?

We think love is perpetual, but the one who loves you will let you go
The pleasure that is imaginable, it will make you leave a happy home
But all we take is love for serious, do we really know what it means to us
Cause if it wasn't for love we wouldn't be born, but no one really ever knows

Why it puts us together, it tears us apart
It can even mend it, or break your heart
What we have for our self, what you say to your child
But I still wonder why

You can feel it, but you can't see it
You can't taste it, but you can hear it
You can say it, if you don't mean it
You can buy it, if you don't need it
You talk so much about it, what is the meaning
It makes no sense, so what's the reason
Tell me why do we fall in love?

Physical affection, emotions
Feelings, honest
Wanting, opposites of desire
Longing, needing
Craving, lusting
Baby you light my fire
Graduation, kissing
Hugging, touching
Yearning, sexing
Mother to her child
These are the thing that we really need
When we talk about this thing called love

You can feel it, but you can't see it
You can't taste it, but you can hear it
You can say it, if you don't mean it
You can buy it, if you don't need it
You talk so much about it, what is the meaning
It makes no sense, so what's the reason
Tell me why do we fall in love?

You can feel it, but you can't see it
You can't taste it, but you can hear it
You can say it, if you don't mean it
You can buy it, if you don't need it
You talk so much about it, what is the meaning
It makes no sense, so what's the reason
Tell me why do we fall in love?

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Gentle Hour
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
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/

American Town
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.
