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.
And I thought I'd I ask you something
I thought I'd never ask a soul
About how the nights here got so crazy
We lose control
Cause the suns been up for hours
Florida catch you out of breath
And we're all hoping where we started
Is where the night will end the best
And all I want to know
Is if you hear me
I've never spoke this clearly
(Could this any better)
Can you tell me how this goes
As you start your symphony
Let it sing us both to sleep
Even if the room don't stop from spinning
Lets leave our imprints on the sidewalk
Like our initials in the sand
And see if Tallahasse tips you to hold my hand
Cause its just like Califorinia summers
With better warmer Floridia nights
The sounds get louder as I kiss you
I hope my words all come out right
And all I want to know
Is if you hear me
I've never spoke this clearly
(Could this any better)
Can you tell me how this goes
As you start your symphony
Let it sing us both to sleep
Even if the room don't stop from spinning
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
We'll start the night out with a promise
Sing it loud and honest
But at the end of this we won't feel a thing
And all I want to know
Is if you hear me
I've never spoke this clearly
Can you tell me how this goes
As you start your symphony
Let it sing us both to sleep
(Could this be any better)
And all I want to know
Is can you hear me
And can you hear me
(Could this be any better)
Can you tell me how this goes
As you start your symphony
Let it sing us both to sleep
Even if the room don't stop from spinning
I thought I'd never ask a soul
About how the nights here got so crazy
We lose control
Cause the suns been up for hours
Florida catch you out of breath
And we're all hoping where we started
Is where the night will end the best
And all I want to know
Is if you hear me
I've never spoke this clearly
(Could this any better)
Can you tell me how this goes
As you start your symphony
Let it sing us both to sleep
Even if the room don't stop from spinning
Lets leave our imprints on the sidewalk
Like our initials in the sand
And see if Tallahasse tips you to hold my hand
Cause its just like Califorinia summers
With better warmer Floridia nights
The sounds get louder as I kiss you
I hope my words all come out right
And all I want to know
Is if you hear me
I've never spoke this clearly
(Could this any better)
Can you tell me how this goes
As you start your symphony
Let it sing us both to sleep
Even if the room don't stop from spinning
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
We'll start the night out with a promise
Sing it loud and honest
But at the end of this we won't feel a thing
And all I want to know
Is if you hear me
I've never spoke this clearly
Can you tell me how this goes
As you start your symphony
Let it sing us both to sleep
(Could this be any better)
And all I want to know
Is can you hear me
And can you hear me
(Could this be any better)

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.

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'

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/

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.
What is everybody's take on the meaning of this song? I love it. I am just getting a wild night out, drinking, having a good time. 'And we're all hoping where this started is where the night will end the best.' sounds like he's hoping to hook up with somebody by the end of the night. Idk. I do love it, I just can't figure the 'can you hear me' stuff out. What do you guys think? Go Radio makes no mistakes. ( :
