This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Picking up the pieces in the world I know
With one in the fire and one in the snow
It's a comeback story of a lifetime
A comeback story of a lifetime
Bent on believing everything is alright
I break with the day and I've been with the night
It's a comeback story of a lifetime
A comeback story of a lifetime
I walk a mile in your shoes
And now I'm a mile away
And I've got your shoes/
The brighter the lights they're burning me out
Everyone says it's a lovely sound
I don't know where they are leaving me
Trying my best, hoping that you'll see
I walk a mile in your shoes
And now I'm a mile away
And I've got your
I walk a mile in your shoes
Now I'm a mile away
And I've got your shoes/
You'll rue the day when you understand
I did my best to be an honest man
Race isn't over to the finish line
It's a comeback story of a lifetime
I walk a mile in your shoes
And now I'm a mile away
And I've got your shoes
Now I'm a mile away
And I've got your shoes
Now I'm a mile away
With one in the fire and one in the snow
It's a comeback story of a lifetime
A comeback story of a lifetime
Bent on believing everything is alright
I break with the day and I've been with the night
It's a comeback story of a lifetime
A comeback story of a lifetime
I walk a mile in your shoes
And now I'm a mile away
And I've got your shoes/
The brighter the lights they're burning me out
Everyone says it's a lovely sound
I don't know where they are leaving me
Trying my best, hoping that you'll see
I walk a mile in your shoes
And now I'm a mile away
And I've got your
I walk a mile in your shoes
Now I'm a mile away
And I've got your shoes/
You'll rue the day when you understand
I did my best to be an honest man
Race isn't over to the finish line
It's a comeback story of a lifetime
I walk a mile in your shoes
And now I'm a mile away
And I've got your shoes
Now I'm a mile away
And I've got your shoes
Now I'm a mile away

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.
Caleb has been sighted in numerous interviews saying that this song is about Kings of Leon themselves. He said that they had their backs against the wall and critics from all over the world were saying they were done for and had no chance at a comeback in the musical industry, given their meltdown on stage in Texas back in 2011. He said this song was all for them. He also stated that the beginning lyrics"Picking up the pieces in the world I know" was them picking themselves back up and getting back to writing music like they used to.
Caleb also explained the chorus and said that it was a funny joke their grandpa used to tell them as boys. He said that his grandpa would always tell them, "never talk about a man until you walk a mile in his shoes and until then you're a mile away." He laughed about this in an interview and claimed that he never thought he'd use that reference as lyrics in a song. Said it fit with the song perfectly and how everyone was saying how kings of leon were done and had no gas left, referring to the critics. Almost as if to be talking in the critics perspective, like they're saying "okay KOL, you got us."
@njke224 I didn't know it. Thanks
