This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Seen her rockin' the Rainbow Store
That pretty little doll that I'd seen before
Stayed too long with the borderline
My emotional landscape was strip-mined
What's left of my heart came out to cause a stir
She knew I was watchin' her
Lookin' like she'd love to give all things form
Started gettin' glad that I was born
She walked right up to me
Said, "What's it gonna be?"
At the rainbow store
She came over and she pulled my hair
Said, "hey boy, what ya doin' here?"
"Just shoppin' for my sister, it's her birthday soon"
She knew it wasn't true but she was cool
Pushed my neck against the elevator door
Kissed me like I'd never been kissed before
Made a face so sweet and mean
I went down like a submarine
She walked right up to me
Said, "what's it gonna be?"
At the rainbow store
Went all the way down to the abyss
It felt like almost happiness
Never thought I'd find myself here
Without guilt, and without fear
I never knew it could be all right
I never knew bliss not to be finite
You never know despair or languishment
Once you live to complete this illusionment
She walked right up to me
Said, "what's it gonna be?"
At the rainbow store
She walked right up to me
Bam! Went my ennui
At the rainbow store
That pretty little doll that I'd seen before
Stayed too long with the borderline
My emotional landscape was strip-mined
What's left of my heart came out to cause a stir
She knew I was watchin' her
Lookin' like she'd love to give all things form
Started gettin' glad that I was born
She walked right up to me
Said, "What's it gonna be?"
At the rainbow store
She came over and she pulled my hair
Said, "hey boy, what ya doin' here?"
"Just shoppin' for my sister, it's her birthday soon"
She knew it wasn't true but she was cool
Pushed my neck against the elevator door
Kissed me like I'd never been kissed before
Made a face so sweet and mean
I went down like a submarine
She walked right up to me
Said, "what's it gonna be?"
At the rainbow store
Went all the way down to the abyss
It felt like almost happiness
Never thought I'd find myself here
Without guilt, and without fear
I never knew it could be all right
I never knew bliss not to be finite
You never know despair or languishment
Once you live to complete this illusionment
She walked right up to me
Said, "what's it gonna be?"
At the rainbow store
She walked right up to me
Bam! Went my ennui
At the rainbow store

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,
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
