This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Go to work and take your calls
Hang the fruits
Of your labour on the walls
Such precision and care
What does it matter
If there's no one here to share
The flowers in the garden
The wine
The "Waiting for Godot"
And so much modern time?
[Chorus]
All I want
Is what you want
I'm always waiting
For a red letter day
The years perfecting a stance
Of measured cool
Fade into insignificance
The moment one starts to understand
What on earth
Does it profit a man?
[Chorus]
For something special
Somehow new
Someone saying 'I love you'
Baby, I'm waiting
For that red letter day
You can sneer
Or disappear behind a veneer
Of self-control
But for all of those who don't fit in
Who follow their instincts
And are told they sin
This is a prayer for
A different way
[Chorus]
Like Christmas morning
When you're a kid
Admit you love me
And you always did
Baby I'm hoping
For that red letter day
Today
Hang the fruits
Of your labour on the walls
Such precision and care
What does it matter
If there's no one here to share
The flowers in the garden
The wine
The "Waiting for Godot"
And so much modern time?
[Chorus]
All I want
Is what you want
I'm always waiting
For a red letter day
The years perfecting a stance
Of measured cool
Fade into insignificance
The moment one starts to understand
What on earth
Does it profit a man?
[Chorus]
For something special
Somehow new
Someone saying 'I love you'
Baby, I'm waiting
For that red letter day
You can sneer
Or disappear behind a veneer
Of self-control
But for all of those who don't fit in
Who follow their instincts
And are told they sin
This is a prayer for
A different way
[Chorus]
Like Christmas morning
When you're a kid
Admit you love me
And you always did
Baby I'm hoping
For that red letter day
Today

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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/

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.
