The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Please tell my lover I'm down on my knees,
And I really really miss you
Oh, I love you (You, you, you)
All I love, all my love.
(All my love)
And I really really miss you
Oh, I love you (You, you, you)
All I love, all my love.
(All my love)

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"
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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
It sounds like he's talking about his relationship with his biological mother. I believe he was adopted so the sense of longing in the lyrics would make sense.
"Please tell my mother I'm re-re-ready, and I really, really miss you Oh, I love you (you, you, you) All I love, all my love (All my love)"
I've read somewhere that the lyrics are "Please tell my mother I'm down on my knees"
(All my love)
We fell in love with our gravity And I really miss you All my love, you, you, you I, I love you
We fell in love with our gravity And I really miss you I love, I love you, you, you I, I love you
Could also say 'Mom I love you, you, you' or 'Oh my love, you, you, you'
I think it's "mom" because he's adopted and his adoption was a source of angst for him when he was a teenager, so it could be that this song is a sort of 'hidden message' to his biological mother.
A lot of the lyrics are actually just the "All My Looove~" clip played backwards at different speeds one after the other. I think the rest are just random clips of voices spliced together so that they don't even really say anything.
This song is simply about missing somebody you love very much and having to say goodbye to that person.
well this is what he said in a video before he played the song
"My name is Skrillex, you guys are my best fucking fans in the world man. I love you all from the bottom of my heart. I’m a musician and I love making music and I’m just a normal person just like you guys. So if you’re a musician, or a writer, or a singer, or a poet, or whatever the fuck you wanna do alright, fuck what anyone says man, because I’m just like you and I love you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you New York City. Put your hands up!
…and if there’s anybody in this world that tells you can’t fucking do it man, fuck ‘em all, because you can do it!
This song is dedicated to you, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!”
I don't agree with these lyrics, except the final, speaking part. Instead, I think that Sonny's trying to convey emotion through vocals, and not words. It works beautifully, as I get the impression that there's an underlying longing and sadness to this song. In the middle of the song, we hear one word uttered three times, "you". I believe that this is Sonny simply expressing his emotion for someone else. It could be an unrequited relationship, a family member, a friend, or someone who's passed away. At the end, I can only assume that the words were put in as a thank you to his fans, or as a minor joke.
Well, pretty sure the lyrics are way off. But I'm thinking the song is about how he loves his fans and loves performing for them. The first line of the song is actually "We fell in love with gravity". I think he's saying we all fell in love with bass drops. And because of this, he was able to create a life in music.
I get the feeling that he really believes in music where as some "artists" really believe in making money. And it's his huge belief in his own music and the fact that his fans love his music that results in his strong connection to his fans.
The title even suggests that he possibly had a great show and then on the long drive home that's all he could think about...was how great his fans were. Thus creating the inspiration to write this song. It's all speculation obviously.
I don't really hear the lyrics in the first part except for the "I love you" parts. I really like this song. Especially the last 20 seconds or so.
I believe the words originally spoken were "Please tell me lover, I'm down on my knees, and I really miss you, I love you (you you you), all of my... All of my all of my love...", but the point of them is as another instrument, raw emotion, for the listener to apply meaning to. The fact they resemble words is a testament to the fine-tuning of the artist, and the fact that so many people have so many different versions are further testament.
Given the lyrics I'm posting:
I just watched episode 13 of Angel Beats, and then listened to this song. With "long drive" being a euphemism for a long distance relationship, and the content of that episode, the song is firmly cemented in my heart for an eternity, and whatever comes after.
signed up just to tell you ... well shit with that ending and this song. musta been a quite emotional trip. this along with scary monsters and nice sprites remind me of hunger games most likely because i was ready the emotional parts while listening to theses songs.<br /> <br /> its amazing how sonny moore went from emo shit (not that its bad mind you) to skrillex.
I hear it as:
Please tell my mother I'm down on my knees and I really really miss you, mom I love you, all my love.
