Confined to a small Midwestern airport
Walking around in these ill-fitting shoes
I read lush descriptions of the total solar eclipse
In the newspaper, and I think
That when it comes to hype
Here's something pretty much immune
And it's
Kind of exciting
Kind of inviting
Kind of in contrast to the rest of my life
I survey all the fallen stars
In this hotel-sized world
And wonder what it would be like
Confined to a small Midwestern airport
Pacing around in these ungainly shoes
Product of a factory outlet mall
The local press gave glowing reviews
And it is said,
When the moon's shadow hits you
At ten thousand miles an hour
The impulse is to
Start screaming
I'd like to believe this is so
Makes me feel good to know
That there is something
That wouldn't let me down
I survey all the fallen stars
In this hotel-sized world
And wonder what it would be like
To be impressed beyond belief
Walking around in these ill-fitting shoes
I read lush descriptions of the total solar eclipse
In the newspaper, and I think
That when it comes to hype
Here's something pretty much immune
And it's
Kind of exciting
Kind of inviting
Kind of in contrast to the rest of my life
I survey all the fallen stars
In this hotel-sized world
And wonder what it would be like
Confined to a small Midwestern airport
Pacing around in these ungainly shoes
Product of a factory outlet mall
The local press gave glowing reviews
And it is said,
When the moon's shadow hits you
At ten thousand miles an hour
The impulse is to
Start screaming
I'd like to believe this is so
Makes me feel good to know
That there is something
That wouldn't let me down
I survey all the fallen stars
In this hotel-sized world
And wonder what it would be like
To be impressed beyond belief

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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
