Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Ugh...
Ugh...
Ugh...
Hear the heartbeat...
Yeah...
Yeah...
Did ya miss me?...
You don't miss me... nah
You don't miss me...
You don't miss me...
Ugh... Ugh... Ugh...
What must be done?
Our hearts beat to a different drum,
And your voice ringing in my ears
Saying so much,
How you wanna make it work between us?
Played me like the keys on a piano
Now you need me, it takes two to tango.
Your alone...
And it's cold...
Now you need someone to console... you,
When the winter comes
Dude you and I can't depend on'em
A patna' and'em tellin you what the deal is,
You in a fake world and now you need a realist...
Person that you ever had in your life
Can't talk cause all we do is fight
And I've moved on girl I'm straight,
And I could give a damn less what you think.
(Chorus)
I'm so gone, so-so long,
Yeah yeah yeah.
I'm so gone so-so long,
Yeah yeah yeah.
I'm so gone, so-so long,
Yeah yeah yeah.
I'm so gone, so-so long,
Yeah yeah yeah.
Ugh...
What you expect me to do?
Run in circles like a track star do?
Blow up your phone,
Hit you on your twitter,
Your myspace,
Your facebook?
And beg for you?... nah
That ain't the type of dude I am
Cool down more love
Let me get a fan
Cause I'm about 2 seconds from going off
Considering she got some foul shit coming out her mouth
Just cause your super vision been clapped down
Don't mean you can walk around my town,
With your head held high gettin' fucked up
Now you wanna apologize cause you fucked up?
Nope, it don't work like that
You're out of here
You the ball, I'm the baseball bat.
You're girls gonna say there wasn't reason for all that
Unless you're really sincere you can go and fall back cause,
(Chorus)
I'm so gone, so-so long,
Yeah yeah yeah.
I'm so gone so-so long,
Yeah yeah yeah.
I'm so gone, so-so long,
Yeah yeah yeah.
I'm so gone, so-so long,
Yeah yeah yeah.
Yeah yeah yeah...
Yeah yeah yeah...
Yeah yeah yeah...
I'm so gone so-so long,
Yeah yeah yeah.
I'm so gone, so-so long,
Yeah yeah yeah.
I'm so gone, so-so long,
Yeah yeah yeah.
I'm so gone, so-so long,
Yeah yeah yeah
Ugh...
Ugh...
Hear the heartbeat...
Yeah...

Did ya miss me?...
You don't miss me... nah
You don't miss me...
You don't miss me...

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
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/

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
