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”
She's sleeping around
Running all over town
She's doubting it so
She can't even smile
She's thinking about
She don't even know
She's hating it so
I can't let her go
She's walking away
I cherish the day
We were together
Fair was the weather
We were running so fast
There really was no past
I'm thinking about our yesterday
We were the best for each other
We were in love forever
I haven't given up
It's been fifteen years
I haven't spoken to her for so long
We had it all
Before we took a fall
We really had love
Though it's all gone away
There's nothing to say
There's nothing to do
There's nowhere to go
There's nothing to show
There's nothing to know
It's all been said
Our love is dead
It's over for our love so true
We were in love forever
Though now it's the end
I'm calling her friend
There's nothing left of what we were
She's thinking about
I'm always left out
Nothing really matters much to me
I remember her best
I'm wishing her well
Her private hell is more or less
I'm weaving a spell
Perhaps she'll get better
And she'll be alright
She'll be alright
We were so happy together
We always thought love was forever
Running all over town
She's doubting it so
She can't even smile
She's thinking about
She don't even know
She's hating it so
I can't let her go
She's walking away
I cherish the day
We were together
Fair was the weather
We were running so fast
There really was no past
I'm thinking about our yesterday
We were the best for each other
We were in love forever
I haven't given up
It's been fifteen years
I haven't spoken to her for so long
We had it all
Before we took a fall
We really had love
Though it's all gone away
There's nothing to say
There's nothing to do
There's nowhere to go
There's nothing to show
There's nothing to know
It's all been said
Our love is dead
It's over for our love so true
We were in love forever
Though now it's the end
I'm calling her friend
There's nothing left of what we were
She's thinking about
I'm always left out
Nothing really matters much to me
I remember her best
I'm wishing her well
Her private hell is more or less
I'm weaving a spell
Perhaps she'll get better
And she'll be alright
She'll be alright
We were so happy together
We always thought love was forever

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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
