Au nom de la jeunesse
Aux saisons des beaux jours
Mes jeunes idées courent
Étaler leurs faiblesses
Au soleil de l'amour

Au nom de la jeunesse
Aux printemps tourmentés
De mes tendres années
Se vautre ma paresse
Dans la fraîche rosée

D'un autre idéalisme
Dans un nouveau décor
Le romantisme est mort
Vive le romantisme
Qui en renaît plus fort

Et porte la tignasse
Qu'il te plaît à porter
Car présent ou passé
Le cœur reste à sa place
Mais il bat, syncopé

Au nom de la jeunesse
Au jardin de ses fleurs
Je n'ai pas de couleur
Je n'ai que ma détresse
Que l'on prend pour fureur

Au nom de la jeunesse
Je cherche à effacer
Tout un monde empesé
Par besoin de tendresse
Et par soif d'être aimé

Et ce qui me diffère
C'est qu'avec des chansons
Je rythme mes passions
Pour faire à ma manière
Une révolution

Et chante mes problèmes
Et dors ici ou là
Le monde est sous mes pas
Et je vis comme j'aime
Et l'amour est sans loi

Au nom de la jeunesse
Au cri de liberté
Je me laisse brûler
À la tendre caresse
Du feu de l'amitié

Au nom de la jeunesse
Je ressemble surtout
À un jeune chien fou
Qui sans maître et sans laisse
Veut vivre comme un loup

En condamnant la guerre
Je deviens inquiétant
Et surtout déroutant
Par mon vocabulaire
Qu'est celui d'un enfant

Je suis fait de souffrance
Je veux garder encore
Et toujours en mon corps
La grâce de l'enfance
Jusqu'au jour de ma mort

Au nom de la jeunesse
Avant que disparaisse
De ma vie l'âge d'or

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
