This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
It's a lovely day today
So why do I feel strange
Wasted away I am dry
Three feet to either way
Can't help to think what may
Will be left around me
When I die
And the sunlight in my eyes ain't helping me
'Cause everywhere I look it's all I see
Dreaming of another place
To wash away the pain
So I can fly away
Can't deal with all of my disgrace
Waiting for the time
When I will fly away
I remember yesterday
Through some things may have changed
A different place, another time
Two trips I have to make
Bus ride I have to take
The other trip is in my mind
And the moonlight in your eyes is melting me
Rise up through the skies and reach for me
Chorus
Knew that I could never be without you know
Didn't have to let me go
Only had to let me know
Any way for me to get away from you
Now I'll have to let you go
Didn't want to let you go
Chorus
Never knew that I would look upon your face
Maybe in another place
I will fly away
Any way for me to find a way to you
There is nothing I won't do
I will fly, I will fly...
It's a lovely day today
So why do I feel strange
Everything around me has changed
So why do I feel strange
Wasted away I am dry
Three feet to either way
Can't help to think what may
Will be left around me
When I die
And the sunlight in my eyes ain't helping me
'Cause everywhere I look it's all I see
Dreaming of another place
To wash away the pain
So I can fly away
Can't deal with all of my disgrace
Waiting for the time
When I will fly away
I remember yesterday
Through some things may have changed
A different place, another time
Two trips I have to make
Bus ride I have to take
The other trip is in my mind
And the moonlight in your eyes is melting me
Rise up through the skies and reach for me
Chorus
Knew that I could never be without you know
Didn't have to let me go
Only had to let me know
Any way for me to get away from you
Now I'll have to let you go
Didn't want to let you go
Chorus
Never knew that I would look upon your face
Maybe in another place
I will fly away
Any way for me to find a way to you
There is nothing I won't do
I will fly, I will fly...
It's a lovely day today
So why do I feel strange
Everything around me has changed

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,
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.
