In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Don't even think about callin' me crazy
You know you peeped that lady, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And when I turned and look at you, you tried
To play it off but I can tell that you two were friends (ah)
She was just too nervous
She was lookin' like she was hurt
Like the memory had surfaced (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
It kinda got her pissed (Yeah, yeah)
I'm kinda wonderin' myself
And your really no help
Tell me how you two know each other so well (Yeah, yeah)
Cause I want to know now (Yeah)
You better start talkin' (Yeah, yeah)
[Chorus: x2]
Who is she to you (Yeah)
Don't lie to me
Who is she to you
My eyes can see
Something's going on between you two (Something's goin' on)
I think you better let me know
That's fa sho (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
No matter how hard you try you can't hide it
There's no way you can deny it, oh no no (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Then you want to flip and call me insecure
I'm only buggin' because you are so suspicious (yeah, yeah)
Then ya say I don't trust ya
Can't understand why I would cuss ya
And come off so demandin'
But baby I can be, yeah (Yeah)
Now tell me what did you not say
You're wrong in the first place
For lookin' too hard over that way (Hard over that way)
And you better tell me what the deal is, oh (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
Damn right I want to know her name (Ah)
Tell me how you know her baby (Ah)
Why did she make that face (Ah)
You were looked ashamed (Ah, ooh)

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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'

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/
