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.
Someday he'll come along
The man I love
And he'll be big and strong
The man I love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay
He'll look at me and smile
I'll understand
And in a little while
He'll take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day
He'll build a little home
Just meant for two
From which I'll never roam
Who would, would you?
And so, all else above,
I'm waiting for the man I love
The man I love
And he'll be big and strong
The man I love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay
He'll look at me and smile
I'll understand
And in a little while
He'll take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day
He'll build a little home
Just meant for two
From which I'll never roam
Who would, would you?
And so, all else above,
I'm waiting for the man I love

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,
When We Were Young

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
This appears to be a critique of the yuppie consumerist environmental movement in the USA. SIMS cites the paradox of a "philanthropy" which is founded in elitist materialism that fails to help one's neighbor.
Damn, did you get that from:
holier than thou type thing but you did your part you gave your hundred bucks to NPR you joined the co-op now bought the hybrid car switched to peace coffee went to three rallies then wiped your hands with sanitized solution good deeds tallied consumer movement seeking absolution redesign the treadmill, still ain�t moving desperately run in place reapplied the laws of the bluest eye
Him calling neo-environmentalists nazi's (blue eyes)? It took me a long time to figure it out.
This song definitely criticizes the US government and its seemingly infinite ability to put profits above it's own people. But it also shows that its not only the government that is the problem, but the peoples' as well. It seems to show that people just jump on the bandwagon, many of the lyrics, as said in the comment above describe it perfectly. I feel as if he's saying that spreading awareness and buying hybrid cars and organics won't solve any problems because it all goes back to the economic problem. The government makes money off of consuming, and that is the only thing America does anymore, we produce and sell very little here, besides bombs, tanks and guns.
I really also enjoy the fact that he put in references towards The Bluest Eye and 1984, both really fuckin good books.
"reapplied the laws of the bluest eye and the made the truest shade of grey"
"rules are the same game speak in doublethink with the action based on guilt holier than thou type thing"
Sims is the man, and people need to listen to what he's actually saying. We need to have a little bit of solidarity as a nation, and maybe with time, as a species, but we need to stop living in constant fear. Constant fear of outsiders and each other.
