This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
No time for tears in a city like this
Can't seem to face that I just might miss
Ten years of tantrums, fights and fears
No time for tears, no time for tears
Can you hear me now from across the sea?
I'm stumbling 'round begging on my knees
What started so slowly ended so fast
You want to disown me
Well, best friends finish last
We all want to hold what's out of our hands
Dreaming a dream we call romance
Kidding ourselves, we're fully grown
I just don't know, I just don't know
No time for tears in a city like this
Can't seem to face that I just might miss
Ten years of tantrums, fights and fears
There's no time for tears, no time for tears
We all want to hold what's out of our hands
Dreaming a dream we call romance
Kidding ourselves, we're fully grown
I just don't know, I just don't know
No time for tears in a city like this
Can't seem to face that I just might miss
Ten years of tantrums, fights and fears
There's no time for tears, no time for tears
We can't undo what's gone before
Live through the peace and
All through the wars
Won't be remembered, I know that for sure
There's no time for tears
There's no time at all
No time for tears in a city like this
Can't seem to face that I just might miss
Ten years of tantrums, fights and fears
No time for tears, no time for tears
Can't seem to face that I just might miss
Ten years of tantrums, fights and fears
No time for tears, no time for tears
Can you hear me now from across the sea?
I'm stumbling 'round begging on my knees
What started so slowly ended so fast
You want to disown me
Well, best friends finish last
We all want to hold what's out of our hands
Dreaming a dream we call romance
Kidding ourselves, we're fully grown
I just don't know, I just don't know
No time for tears in a city like this
Can't seem to face that I just might miss
Ten years of tantrums, fights and fears
There's no time for tears, no time for tears
We all want to hold what's out of our hands
Dreaming a dream we call romance
Kidding ourselves, we're fully grown
I just don't know, I just don't know
No time for tears in a city like this
Can't seem to face that I just might miss
Ten years of tantrums, fights and fears
There's no time for tears, no time for tears
We can't undo what's gone before
Live through the peace and
All through the wars
Won't be remembered, I know that for sure
There's no time for tears
There's no time at all
No time for tears in a city like this
Can't seem to face that I just might miss
Ten years of tantrums, fights and fears
No time for tears, no time for tears

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

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.
