This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Well I'm battered down
I'm burnt out like a half of a cigarette
and I'm passed out on the floor
Thinking am I happy yet?
I'm filmed in black in white
But you remember me in colors
Singing songs about my heartache
and my jealousy of others..
It's hard to explain it
and hard to contain it
It's hard to explain how it feels
'Til there's someone to cry about
Someone to fight it out
Someone to say..you're the reason they breathe
'til there's someone you're crazed about
the one you can't live without
Someone to say...
You're the reason they breathe..
I'm feeling kind of lonely
'Cause I lost my train of thought
Tried to run away from thinking
But it only got me caught
I'm as open as a rose
When summers air can spare no rain
In this drought I'm almost dead
And in this sun I'm rather plain
Does it help you to cling to
the shell you've turned into?
I wish you the best and the worst
I'm burnt out like a half of a cigarette
and I'm passed out on the floor
Thinking am I happy yet?
I'm filmed in black in white
But you remember me in colors
Singing songs about my heartache
and my jealousy of others..
It's hard to explain it
and hard to contain it
It's hard to explain how it feels
'Til there's someone to cry about
Someone to fight it out
Someone to say..you're the reason they breathe
'til there's someone you're crazed about
the one you can't live without
Someone to say...
You're the reason they breathe..
I'm feeling kind of lonely
'Cause I lost my train of thought
Tried to run away from thinking
But it only got me caught
I'm as open as a rose
When summers air can spare no rain
In this drought I'm almost dead
And in this sun I'm rather plain
Does it help you to cling to
the shell you've turned into?
I wish you the best and the worst

Little Feat
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,
