(Nicola Sirchis / Dominique Nicolas)
Voici l'histoire de Leila
Qui s'est passee tres loin la-bas
Dans le desert des neiges nordiques
Fut laissee tomber de ses parents
Recueillie par Jampo le lapon
Elle grandit tout aupres de lui
Recueillie par Jampo le lapon
Elle grandit tout aupres de lui
Et je la veux dans mes bras
Dans un decor tres tres froid
Une Lapone en pulkas
Qui se glisse dans les bois
Elle est a toi, Leila
Cette fille au charme delicat
Dans les montagnes glacees de neige
Il lui apprit la vie de Lapon
La plus belle fille de la region
See'etait les seize ans de Leila
Alors Jampo se decida
Lui presenta un beau Lapon
Mais elle ne voulut pas de lui
Se sentant trop jeune a la vie
Et je la veux dans mes bras
Dans un decor tres tres froid
Une Lapone en pulkas
Qui se glisse dans les bois
Elle est a toi, Leila
Cette fille au charme delicat
Dans son canoe descendit
Tous les rapides do pays
Sans se soucier de tous les dangers
Devient Lapone emancipee
Sans se soucier do qu'en-dira-t-on
Devient la reine de tous les lapons
Et see'est ainsi que Leila
Fut la legende d'un pays tres froid
Et je la veux dans mes bras
Dans un decor tres tres froid
Une Lapone en pulkas
Qui se glisse dans les bois
Elle est a toi, Leila
Cette fille au charme delicat
Elle est a toi, Leila
Cette fille au charme delicat...

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

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,

Just A Little Lovin'
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/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
