This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
One, two, three, four!
Well here goes nothing, it’s well past due
Everything I worried about has all come true
Believe me, I’ve tried to ignore the small stuff
But I’m putting my foot down, enough is enough
Stuck at a standstill, and there's no where else to go
My beating heart and trembling hands, this isn’t what I had planned
I’ve run my feet bare and my throat dry
I finally see You’re the only way out of this world alive
Why is this so simple in theory?
You forgive and I accept
I'm sorry Lord, I really am
My life is Yours to take
Sink or swim, do or die
I'm done with life, make me feel alive
I wanted in, now all I want is out
I can finally see this was never for me
Here goes nothing, it’s well past due
Everything I worried about has all come true
Believe me, I’ve tried to ignore the small stuff
But I’m putting my foot down, enough is enough
Every single day seems do be too much for me
But when all of this is said and done
I'd do anything to hear the words, “Good job, son”
It is time to cut it off, it’s time to let it bleed
Best an eye or tooth than the death of me
Blind, battered, bruised but at least I’ll agree
This is the only way I’ll feel free
Why is this so simple in theory?
You forgive and I accept
I'm sorry Lord, I really am
This life is Yours to take
Sink or swim, do or die
I’m done with life, make me feel alive
I wanted in, now all I want is out
I can finally see this was never for me
I have found my life
This is where I want to be
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Well here goes nothing, it’s well past due
Everything I worried about has all come true
Believe me, I’ve tried to ignore the small stuff
But I’m putting my foot down, enough is enough
Stuck at a standstill, and there's no where else to go
My beating heart and trembling hands, this isn’t what I had planned
I’ve run my feet bare and my throat dry
I finally see You’re the only way out of this world alive
Why is this so simple in theory?
You forgive and I accept
I'm sorry Lord, I really am
My life is Yours to take
Sink or swim, do or die
I'm done with life, make me feel alive
I wanted in, now all I want is out
I can finally see this was never for me
Here goes nothing, it’s well past due
Everything I worried about has all come true
Believe me, I’ve tried to ignore the small stuff
But I’m putting my foot down, enough is enough
Every single day seems do be too much for me
But when all of this is said and done
I'd do anything to hear the words, “Good job, son”
It is time to cut it off, it’s time to let it bleed
Best an eye or tooth than the death of me
Blind, battered, bruised but at least I’ll agree
This is the only way I’ll feel free
Why is this so simple in theory?
You forgive and I accept
I'm sorry Lord, I really am
This life is Yours to take
Sink or swim, do or die
I’m done with life, make me feel alive
I wanted in, now all I want is out
I can finally see this was never for me
I have found my life
This is where I want to be
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home

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
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/
