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.
Roll the moon over my heart
Roll my heart out with the tide
I talked to the wolf in the mountain
And I talked to the mule in the mine
Devil unwind what's empty
Devil unwind my heart
Devil make the two ends meet
Devil when I fall
Talk to me devil, again
Talk to me devil, again
Talk to me devil, again
Baby I still have time
Smell the lightning burning the starry sky
Rhododendron now under the moon
All hearts still in the tide
Devil if I fall hold out no water to me
Devil when I fall, hold out no hand
Devil unwind what's empty
Devil unbind my heart
Devil make the two ends meet
Devil if I fall apart
Talk to me devil, again
Talk to me devil, again
Talk to me devil, again
Baby I still have time
Roll my heart out with the tide
I talked to the wolf in the mountain
And I talked to the mule in the mine
Devil unwind what's empty
Devil unwind my heart
Devil make the two ends meet
Devil when I fall
Talk to me devil, again
Talk to me devil, again
Talk to me devil, again
Baby I still have time
Smell the lightning burning the starry sky
Rhododendron now under the moon
All hearts still in the tide
Devil if I fall hold out no water to me
Devil when I fall, hold out no hand
Devil unwind what's empty
Devil unbind my heart
Devil make the two ends meet
Devil if I fall apart
Talk to me devil, again
Talk to me devil, again
Talk to me devil, again
Baby I still have time

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
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/

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
