The last page of the novel is written in Italian.
It speaks to me in Greek, underscored with bold italics.
The hero and the heroine are camped out in the valley.
With only unpaid parking fines between them for posterity.
There is no easy answer to a question lacking purpose.
If I were so inclined by its designed intent to hurt us.
I'd tell you where the world stops spinning long enough to linger.
Upon the axis of the psyche all devoid of anger.

And you. You turned me on when I was off.
And you: There are so many things to say 'bout you.
You opened up my heart and took a room. And it's true. I love...

This chapter in the novel tears the flesh straight from my fingers.
Yet in the early morning hours, you were there to mend them.
I love you in a way that can't recall a prior knowledge.
Yet somehow we both know that this will just be one more linkage.
Too many times have pens clung to my brain in search of respite.
Too few times have I made any attempt no to affect it.
An empty bowl of cherries sits beside a roaring fire.
Yet somehow we both know that this will just be one more linkage.

And you. You turned me on when I was off.
And you: There are so many things to say 'bout you.
You opened up my heart and took a room. And it's true. I love...

Turn off the television, close your eyes so I may kiss them.
The purpose of the words, I found, is to embrace translation.
We'll make up an ending. Just a simple one is needed.
About a boy who loved a girl.

And you. You turned me on when I was off.
And you: There are so many things to say 'bout you.
You opened up my heart and took a room. And it's true. I love...
You: There are so many things to say 'bout you.
You opened up my heart and took a room. And it's true. I 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.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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/
