Been Wishing On

Big D and the Kids Table

Been wishing on, Been holding on
Been waiting for you girl, Oh no am I too late?

We didn't know we were in love
Is it too late?
'Cause now we know

I remember when we used to stay up so late, yeah
I remember when we used to complain about love
I didn't know it then, I couldn't see it then
But how I know you now, yes
How clear I see you now, See you now

Blind yeah blind, how silly we've been, so
Blind yeah blind, how silly we've been

Too young to see how we connect
Too young to see we're two best friends
Too young to be brave enough to lay by you I'll forever stand

Been wishing on, Been holding on
Been waiting for you boy, Oh no you're not too late

I remember when you broke up with the boy from Gipsy Hill, yeah
I remember how terribly ill you felt
I held you then, Told you, yes you'd find a man
Now I am desperately trying just to be that man,
Be your man

Wait
Don't wait

Now I have traveled this world around
But by your side is the only home I've found
I see and truly need to feel your strength in this world of beauty
Now would you ever come search for me
Could we refresh our love's longevity?
It's our endless legacy

    It's about two friends who have been very close, but didn't realize there was a potential for a relationship between the two until now.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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.

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
