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.
Tøgn, gomul søgn, forminnis mál
Hevnd og hatur nevnd øvundar bál
Á vígøllum vónin hon doyr
Hátt for heljar grind garmurin goyr
Vindøld, Vargøld er komin
Skeggøld, skølmøld brátt farin er
Ber fram herklæði merkt av mongun strið
Brynju og blankan brand og fram á vøllin ríð
Komi hvat koma má, lat so fara alt
Leingi eg henda dag í huga havi fjalt
Revenge returns to us, this returns to me
We are bound to battle for eternity
The wolf restrained in chains, draping in the deep I see
This war will throw us corpses in a heap
With heavy hearts we head, on towards the end
I've done all I can, never will I bend
Battle clad we ride, over barren land
Nothing matters on the battlefield we stand
And I heard my unborn children's Requiem
I saw carved upon a stone my epitaph
Sometimes it seems to me there is nothing left between
Me and eternity
Again
With heavy hearts we head on towards the end
I've done all I can, never will I bend
Battle clad we ride, for we have to try
Nothing matters on the battlefield we lie
All will rise again for a better day
Earth green with waterfalls where eagles hunt their prey
Gather our kin against reminiscing times
All seemed at peace all thought that evil died but then the
Dragon with fallen in it's
Feathers entered the world again
Hevnd og hatur nevnd øvundar bál
Á vígøllum vónin hon doyr
Hátt for heljar grind garmurin goyr
Vindøld, Vargøld er komin
Skeggøld, skølmøld brátt farin er
Ber fram herklæði merkt av mongun strið
Brynju og blankan brand og fram á vøllin ríð
Komi hvat koma má, lat so fara alt
Leingi eg henda dag í huga havi fjalt
Revenge returns to us, this returns to me
We are bound to battle for eternity
The wolf restrained in chains, draping in the deep I see
This war will throw us corpses in a heap
With heavy hearts we head, on towards the end
I've done all I can, never will I bend
Battle clad we ride, over barren land
Nothing matters on the battlefield we stand
And I heard my unborn children's Requiem
I saw carved upon a stone my epitaph
Sometimes it seems to me there is nothing left between
Me and eternity
Again
With heavy hearts we head on towards the end
I've done all I can, never will I bend
Battle clad we ride, for we have to try
Nothing matters on the battlefield we lie
All will rise again for a better day
Earth green with waterfalls where eagles hunt their prey
Gather our kin against reminiscing times
All seemed at peace all thought that evil died but then the
Dragon with fallen in it's
Feathers entered the world again

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
