I can not sleep for the sound of the sirens
Ignorant bliss to a world we're denying
Killin' the planet yeah, so well

Look at the earth and you see that it's dying
People the curse, 'cause we keep multiplying
Killin' the planet yeah, so well
Killin' the planet yeah, oh well

'Cause it's always, it's always the way
We forget how we lived yesterday
Now we're always, we're always around
To affect everything we surround

I can not see for the sight of the building
Or out to sea for the oil we are spilling
Killin' the planet yeah, so well

What will we do when the earth cannot hide it
All of the waste and the way we defy it
Killin' the planet yeah, so well
Killin' the planet yeah, oh well

'Cause it's always, it's always the way
We forget how to give so we take
Now we're always, we're always around
To be here but it's all coming down

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/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
