This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
The lions roar
And young men soar
The flames all scorch
The circus floor
Puppets on strings
All dance and sing
And flap their wings
Trumpets play sick lullabies
Delicate dame
Her fragile face
Was scared away
Without a trace
Out in the cold
Where did she go?
Into unknown
A place I'll never know
And the desperate search began
All across this sea and land
I just knew I'd find you here
I just knew I found you
Elephant's rear
And young men steer
The audience
Just claps and cheers
I asked around
Half-empty towns
About a girl
Nowhere to be found
And the desperate search began
All across this sea and land
I just knew I'd find you here
I just knew I found you
We didn't know
We could not go
The circus songs
Just carried on
Out of the crowd
Three men rush out
And scream and shout
"Everybody stop!"
And young men soar
The flames all scorch
The circus floor
Puppets on strings
All dance and sing
And flap their wings
Trumpets play sick lullabies
Delicate dame
Her fragile face
Was scared away
Without a trace
Out in the cold
Where did she go?
Into unknown
A place I'll never know
And the desperate search began
All across this sea and land
I just knew I'd find you here
I just knew I found you
Elephant's rear
And young men steer
The audience
Just claps and cheers
I asked around
Half-empty towns
About a girl
Nowhere to be found
And the desperate search began
All across this sea and land
I just knew I'd find you here
I just knew I found you
We didn't know
We could not go
The circus songs
Just carried on
Out of the crowd
Three men rush out
And scream and shout
"Everybody stop!"

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,
