This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You should know (by now) really
That this could end, really
You should know I could never make it work
Wake up
Let's pretend, really
Really
Babe
Do you like the way the water tastes
Like gunfire
And you knew but you could never say
Then come forth 'cause it's coming round
Round the water
Beware the water
You should know
Babe
At least pretend you did know why
It's not like you watch so go on take a drink
Really
Babe
Do you like the way the water tastes
Like gunfire
You knew but it was never safe
Take one more 'cause it's coming round
Round the water
Beware the water
Beware the water
Teeth are dry
From wind blows
If you come drinking
There you go
Beware the water
Beware the water
Beware the water
Do you like the way the water tastes
Do you like the way the water tastes?
That this could end, really
You should know I could never make it work
Wake up
Let's pretend, really
Really
Babe
Do you like the way the water tastes
Like gunfire
And you knew but you could never say
Then come forth 'cause it's coming round
Round the water
Beware the water
You should know
Babe
At least pretend you did know why
It's not like you watch so go on take a drink
Really
Babe
Do you like the way the water tastes
Like gunfire
You knew but it was never safe
Take one more 'cause it's coming round
Round the water
Beware the water
Beware the water
Teeth are dry
From wind blows
If you come drinking
There you go
Beware the water
Beware the water
Beware the water
Do you like the way the water tastes
Do you like the way the water tastes?

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

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
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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
It's actually simple when you pay attention. The ending gives it away that he's drowning her...Picture it like this... Chino forces her head underwater for some time and pulls it back to the surface as she's drowning and asks, "Do you like the way the water tastes?" in a psyco voice, and she responds in agreement with a muffled/drowning, panic like voice "Unhuh". (Say it outloud, if you can't get it). She's agreeing with him because she wants him to stop. It follows the same theme as Digital Bath, or Your Bones Are Red by Team Sleep, where Chino speaks of killing a girl because of a psycho love he has...
