I Got to Find My Baby

Chuck Berry

I'm gonna search this town
From door to door
The love I crave
I can't find no more

I got to find my baby
I declare I wouldn't no lie
I ain't had no real good loving
Since that girl said goodbye

You know I hate to see the sun
Hurry to the west
'Cause I know my whole life's
Will be one solid mess

I got to find my baby
I declare that ain't no lie
I ain't had no real good loving
Since that girl said goodbye

Yes, ever since the day
That she said we were through
I've been nervous
And shook up too

I got to find my baby
I declare I wouldn't no lie
I ain't had no real good loving
Since that girl said goodbye

Yes, I don't care if it's the last thing
I ever do in my life
I'm gonna find that little girl
Make her my wife

I got to find my baby
I declare I wouldn't no lie
I ain't had no real good loving
Since that girl said goodbye

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”

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
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,

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
