In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
もう一度あの二つに別れた道へ 戻れるとして君に
触れないで迷わずこの道を選べるか 解らないけれど
僕が犯した罪は肌を切るより
深い痕を残した
だけど神であれ責めさせはしない
あの時のように
胸の奥に突き刺さったままの
情景が抜けない
息が出来ず いくらもがいてみても
Please don't blame it on me
それは僕のこの足跡をたどれば 誰もが解るだろう
果てない苦痛に歪まれた 足跡をたどれば
君を今も想う日々が 僕の全てだとしても
いつか時が 膝を抱えた僕を連れてゆくよ
胸の奥に突き刺さったままの
情景が抜けない
息が出来ず いくらもがいてみても
Please don't blame it on me
君を今も想う日々が 僕の全てだとしても
いつか時が 膝を抱えた僕を連れてゆくよ
罪を数え暮らす日々が 僕の全てだとしても
夜を踊り続けるだろう
La la la la la
Please don't blame it on me
君を今も想う日々が 僕の全てだとしても
触れないで迷わずこの道を選べるか 解らないけれど
僕が犯した罪は肌を切るより
深い痕を残した
だけど神であれ責めさせはしない
あの時のように
胸の奥に突き刺さったままの
情景が抜けない
息が出来ず いくらもがいてみても
Please don't blame it on me
それは僕のこの足跡をたどれば 誰もが解るだろう
果てない苦痛に歪まれた 足跡をたどれば
君を今も想う日々が 僕の全てだとしても
いつか時が 膝を抱えた僕を連れてゆくよ
胸の奥に突き刺さったままの
情景が抜けない
息が出来ず いくらもがいてみても
Please don't blame it on me
君を今も想う日々が 僕の全てだとしても
いつか時が 膝を抱えた僕を連れてゆくよ
罪を数え暮らす日々が 僕の全てだとしても
夜を踊り続けるだろう
La la la la la
Please don't blame it on me
君を今も想う日々が 僕の全てだとしても

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/
