I feel a boom and a bang
Beating in my broken heart
Love's just like a boomerang
Bouncing back to where it starts
We belong like yin and yang
Even if you pull us apart

I feel a boom and a bang
Someday soon you'll feel it too
Watch out for the boomerang
Always bouncing back to you
I got hooked but you will hang
Time will pass and then we'll be two

Watch out for the boomerang

I feel a boom and a bang
Beating in my broken heart
Love's just like a boomerang
Bouncing back to where it starts
We belong like yin and yang
Even if you pull us apart

[Today it's a real scorcher it's
Sheer torture when I set fire to
My own self-portrait
Now I'm in the Boomerang Brotherhood
Shoe's on the other foot now
To be a member is to be a pretender
Just pretend that you don't remember
But that's how it goes
The first offender gets a boomerang, man
It's return to sender
]

I feel a boom and a bang
Beating in my broken heart
Love's just like a boomerang
Bouncing back to where it starts
We belong like yin and yang
Even if you pull us apart

I feel a boom and a bang
Someday soon you'll feel it too
Watch out for the boomerang
Always bouncing back to you
I got hooked but you will hang
Time will pass and then we'll be two

Watch out for the boomerang (x11)

    not a literal translation of the original. however, i like it more. it's about an intense love that always comes back to where it started, either to ones self or to another person. one would believe another person but you never know.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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
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/

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
