What a situation
Senses gone and left me
Lies are like confetti on the floor

Words are leading nowhere
Delicate and tender
Tender hooks that drive me to despair

Storms are blowing
Winds are calling to me

Be my escape
My reward
It is you I adore
See me through
Where there are demons
I see angels passing by
The morning after nights before
I have tried

When a lover leaves you
Cuts you without knowing
The world just falls apart beneath your feet

Talk is cheap and useless
Nothing but excuses
Lies are like confetti in my hands

Storms are blowing
Winds are calling to me

Be my escape
My reward
It is you I adore
See me through
Where there are demons
I see angels passing by
The morning after nights before
I have tried

Be my escape
My reward
It is you I adore
See me through
Where there are demons
I see angels passing by
The morning after nights before
I have tried

Where there are demons
I see angels passing by
The morning after nights before
I have tried
Where there are demons
I see angels passing by
The morning after nights before
I have tried

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
