Worried Moon

Chris Cornell

Worried moon, shining bright
Can I sleep here tonight right beside you?
I got a long way to go
I'll be off in the morning
I hope but I don't know

If she will have me back again
Or only want me for a friend
And leave a stain across my heart
That never washes out

Nervous moon, in the clouds
There's a halo around your proud face
And I'm glad that we're friends
I might see you again
Sooner or later, I guess

Yeah, if it all goes wrong
And I'm a heart without a home
Maybe you can talk me out
Of doing myself in

Worried moon
I'm afraid of what's to come
Worried moon
Yeah, tell me what you know
Worried moon
You see further down the road
Worried moon

There you are, looking down
I'll be here on the ground if you need me
As I dream of a ghost
Of a love that has died or maybe not
But it haunts me now

Worried moon
I'm afraid of what's to come
Worried moon
Yeah, tell me what you know
Worried moon
You see further down the road
Worried moon

Looking up, you are gone
I got into the city at midnight
All these eyes looking on
Make me blind and put me down
And the noise just drives me out

Yeah

Worried moon
I'm afraid of what's to come
Worried moon
Yeah, tell me what you know
Worried moon
You see further down the road
Worried moon

Dirty moon on the rise
Orange as fire but a bitter cold
You'll remember me, I know

'Cause I have moved to another coast
With a new love to call my own
Maybe one day you can bathe us
In your blue light
Worried moon (worried moon)
Worried moon

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
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.
