This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I'm going away for a while
But I'll be back, don't try and follow me
Cause I'll return as soon as possible
See I'm trying to find my place
But it might not be here where I feel safe
We all learn to make mistakes
And run
From them, from them
With no direction
We'll run from them, from them
With no conviction
Cause I'm just one of those ghosts
Traveling endlessly
Don't need no roads
In fact they follow me
And we just go in circles
Well now I'm told that this is life
And pain is just a simple compromise
So we can get what we want out of it
Would someone care to classify,
Our broken hearts and twisted minds
So I can find someone to rely on
And run
To them, to them
Full speed ahead
Oh you are not, useless
We are just
Misguided ghosts
Traveling endlessly
The ones we trusted the most
Pushed us far away
And there's no one road
And we should not be the same
But I'm just a ghost
And still they echo me
They echo me in circles
But I'll be back, don't try and follow me
Cause I'll return as soon as possible
See I'm trying to find my place
But it might not be here where I feel safe
We all learn to make mistakes
And run
From them, from them
With no direction
We'll run from them, from them
With no conviction
Cause I'm just one of those ghosts
Traveling endlessly
Don't need no roads
In fact they follow me
And we just go in circles
Well now I'm told that this is life
And pain is just a simple compromise
So we can get what we want out of it
Would someone care to classify,
Our broken hearts and twisted minds
So I can find someone to rely on
And run
To them, to them
Full speed ahead
Oh you are not, useless
We are just
Misguided ghosts
Traveling endlessly
The ones we trusted the most
Pushed us far away
And there's no one road
And we should not be the same
But I'm just a ghost
And still they echo me
They echo me in circles

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

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/
i thinkits about a person going through adolecsense stage. like them running away from their parents emotionally then coming back to them because they felt useless and bad. heres a clearer one:
I'm going away for a while But I'll be back Don't try to follow me 'Cause I'll return as soon as possible See, I'm trying to find my place But it might not be here where I feel safe
(their going to just kinda get away and just travel their own way to figure out who they are but they want to do it alone)
We all learn to make mistakes And run from them, from them With no direction We'll run from them, from them With no conviction
(this part is about them actually getting away but having no reason to do it and they dont know where their going either)
'Cause I'm just one of those ghosts Travelin' endlessly Don't need no roads In fact, they follow me And we just go in circles
(i think shes talking about how she felt going through this stage and her and her friends trying to find somewhere else to go)
And now I'm told that this is life That pain is just a simple compromise So we can get what we want out of it
(ppl telling her that life is just pain and just have to live with it)
Would someone care to classify? A broken heart and some twisted minds So I can find someone to rely on
(shes starting to feel useles and broken and wants to have someone to rely on)
And run to them, to them Full speed ahead Oh, you are not useless We are just
(finally realize that theyll always be there and they comfort her)
Misguided ghosts Travelin' endlessly The ones we trusted the most Pushed us far away
(her friends just pushed her away and she was left alone)
And there's no one road We should not be the same
(exactly what it says lol)
But I'm just a ghost And still they echo me They echo me in circles
(even though shes back shes not gonna be the same)
I had to do an essay in school about our life in comparism to a song and this is practicly what I wrote. This is my favorite song ever because I can relate to it in every way.
I had to do an essay in school about our life in comparism to a song and this is practicly what I wrote. This is my favorite song ever because I can relate to it in every way. But instead of saying it is about getting away from your parents, I wrote about how it was myself having to leave alone to find me again.
I feel that this song is one that you relate to in many different ways... I take it to be about someone's first relationship, when you care about someone a lot and then it doesn't work out. Basically, when you fall for someone for the first time, it's confusing. You don't know what to do, why you feel this way. You think that this is love, the real thing. And then, you grow up! You realize that this, all of it, it's not been real... And then you become a 'misguided ghost', 'travelling endlessly' to 'find someone to rely on'.... You don't hate the person you fell for.. you just realize that this.. this wasn't it... Well, that's my perception. I don't think, seeing this page, that anyone feels the same way about the song!
