This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Gentlemen, where have we been?
Can't find the hole where we got in
We ain't had no letters since spring
Gentlemen, where have we been?
Ain't going nowhere now
Let this bottle make its rounds
And let this liquor settle down
We ain't going nowhere now
Darker than ever in the mine
Shine a light, shine a light
Holler back now, make some noise
I do believe they've trapped us boys
Fill the dirt back on the grave
Ain't nothing good here being raised
Look at the filthy mess we've made
Fill the dirt back on the grave
We cut the fruit, we took the tree
We chiseled all the branches free
We took more than we'd ever need
We cut the fruit, we took the tree
Darker than ever in the mine
Shine a light, shine a light
Holler back now, make some noise
I do believe they've trapped us boys
Can't have no one not toe the line
'Round here, it's always 'round midnight
Can't have no brothers left behind
Can't have no one not toe the line
That ain't the cavalry we heard
It's the rain that's crashing on the earth
Tell our women and our children we ain't hurt
But, no, it ain't the cavalry we heard
Darker than ever in the mine
Shine a light, shine a light
Holler back now, make some noise
I do believe they've trapped us boys
Can't find the hole where we got in
We ain't had no letters since spring
Gentlemen, where have we been?
Ain't going nowhere now
Let this bottle make its rounds
And let this liquor settle down
We ain't going nowhere now
Darker than ever in the mine
Shine a light, shine a light
Holler back now, make some noise
I do believe they've trapped us boys
Fill the dirt back on the grave
Ain't nothing good here being raised
Look at the filthy mess we've made
Fill the dirt back on the grave
We cut the fruit, we took the tree
We chiseled all the branches free
We took more than we'd ever need
We cut the fruit, we took the tree
Darker than ever in the mine
Shine a light, shine a light
Holler back now, make some noise
I do believe they've trapped us boys
Can't have no one not toe the line
'Round here, it's always 'round midnight
Can't have no brothers left behind
Can't have no one not toe the line
That ain't the cavalry we heard
It's the rain that's crashing on the earth
Tell our women and our children we ain't hurt
But, no, it ain't the cavalry we heard
Darker than ever in the mine
Shine a light, shine a light
Holler back now, make some noise
I do believe they've trapped us boys

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,
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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
