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.
It's in your voice i can feel it, I can tell
It's in your voice
Has me ringing me like a bell
Peace of mind peace comes dropping slow
I'm in the mind to let go of control
Spirit come on down no, I'm not coming down
In the backstreets
In the backstreets of our love
Through the locked doors
Deep down, deep down is not enough
Spirit come on down no, I'm not coming down
(And guitar)
Who could stop us now? It's much too late
Can't slow us down we can't hesitate
I want a love that's hard as hard as hate
Levitate
To be the bee to be the bee and the flower
Before the sweetness
Before the sweetness turns to sour
When freedom comes freedom has a scent
It's like the top of a newborn baby's head
Baby, we can taste it you and I
Spirit come on down no, I'm not coming down
Who could stop us now?
Who could make us wait?
Who could slow us down? Make us hesitate?
I want a love that's hard as hard as hate
Levitate oh oh oh
Lift me up
Spirit come on down no, I'm not coming down
Spirit come on down no, I'm not coming down
Spirit come on down no, I'm not coming down
It's in your voice
Has me ringing me like a bell
Peace of mind peace comes dropping slow
I'm in the mind to let go of control
Spirit come on down no, I'm not coming down
In the backstreets
In the backstreets of our love
Through the locked doors
Deep down, deep down is not enough
Spirit come on down no, I'm not coming down
(And guitar)
Who could stop us now? It's much too late
Can't slow us down we can't hesitate
I want a love that's hard as hard as hate
Levitate
To be the bee to be the bee and the flower
Before the sweetness
Before the sweetness turns to sour
When freedom comes freedom has a scent
It's like the top of a newborn baby's head
Baby, we can taste it you and I
Spirit come on down no, I'm not coming down
Who could stop us now?
Who could make us wait?
Who could slow us down? Make us hesitate?
I want a love that's hard as hard as hate
Levitate oh oh oh
Lift me up
Spirit come on down no, I'm not coming down
Spirit come on down no, I'm not coming down
Spirit come on down no, I'm not coming down

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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

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.
Levitate was part of the "digital album" Unreleased & Rare, which was part of the iTunes U2 Digital Boxset "released" the same day as HTDAAB. I've heard rumors that this digitial album and/or songs are finally available for purchase (through iTunes) separate from the Digital Boxset. There are some real gems. Take a look at the tracklisting:
