This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Just let me know, if you're gonna go,
We'll take it slow, we'll take it slow.
Just let it be, if you're gonna leave,
Just wait and see, tonight is gonna last forever.
You have burned a hole in me, you have filled it up with meat,
It's burning my heart to watch you breathe.
I have wept all of my blood, something whispered something said,
It burns my heart to watch you breathe.
(To watch you breathe)
Caught in the sight of an angel, caught in a landslide victory.
(It's only her) x2
I have buried all my debt, I have filled my shoes with lead,
It's burning my heart to watch you breathe.
You have bored into my head, whose blackened heart is turning red,
It burns my heart to watch you breathe.
(To watch you breathe)
Caught in the sight of an angel, caught in a landslide victory.
Caught in the light of an angel, caught in a landslide victory.
(It's only her) x4
We'll take it slow, we'll take it slow.
Just let it be, if you're gonna leave,
Just wait and see, tonight is gonna last forever.
You have burned a hole in me, you have filled it up with meat,
It's burning my heart to watch you breathe.
I have wept all of my blood, something whispered something said,
It burns my heart to watch you breathe.
(To watch you breathe)
Caught in the sight of an angel, caught in a landslide victory.
(It's only her) x2
I have buried all my debt, I have filled my shoes with lead,
It's burning my heart to watch you breathe.
You have bored into my head, whose blackened heart is turning red,
It burns my heart to watch you breathe.
(To watch you breathe)
Caught in the sight of an angel, caught in a landslide victory.
Caught in the light of an angel, caught in a landslide victory.
(It's only her) x4

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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I'm guessing it must be about finally getting with a girl who he's sought after for ages. She's unsure wether it's right to be with him. It obviously means the world to him, 'landslide victory', but she can't make her mind up, so 'it's burning his heart to watch her breathe'. He's trying to comfort her by telling her that they will 'take it slow', and that 'the night will last forever'. Everything she does affects him 'I have bled all of my blood, something whispered something said'. I think the line 'you have burned a hole in me, you have filled it up with meat' suggests that she has destroyed part of his soul and it's now just flesh, it is meaningless without her. 'I have buried all my dead, I have filled my shoes with lead', suggests he's surpassed all his mistakes and regrets in the past, and that he has a heavy burden on his shoulders by loving her. He's pretty confused, and maybe the repition of 'it's only hurt' suggest she made her decision and it wasn't to the best of his intentionsand he's concluded that loving her is only hurt
What do you think? Any good?
Oh and he mutters 'Victoria' a few times after the choruses.
This nails it. It sums up my life right now. The girl even has the same name muttered after the choruses.
Wonderful song <3
