This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting on that shore
To hear the cry for home
You won't have to worry anymore
When you hear the cry for home
When you hear, hear the call
You won't have to fake at all
Hear the cry for home
I'll be standing
I'll be standing within reach
When you hear, hear the call
I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting in the breach
For you, when you hear
When you hear, hear the call
You won't have to fake at all
Hear the cry for home
When I listen
When I listen to the song
Well it feels, it feels so free
And you tell me
You will come and go with me
When you hear the cry for home
When you hear the call
You won't have to think at all
Hear the cry for home
Spoken (one more, one more time)
When you hear, hear the call
You won't have to fake at all
Hear the cry for home
(One more open it up, open it up)
When you hear, hear the call
You won't have to fake at all
Hear the cry for home
Hear (When you hear, hear the call)
Hear (When you hear, hear the call)
Hear (When you hear, hear the call)
Hear (When you hear, hear the call)
Hear (When you hear, hear the call)
Hear (When you hear, hear the call)
I'll be waiting on that shore
To hear the cry for home
You won't have to worry anymore
When you hear the cry for home
When you hear, hear the call
You won't have to fake at all
Hear the cry for home
I'll be standing
I'll be standing within reach
When you hear, hear the call
I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting in the breach
For you, when you hear
When you hear, hear the call
You won't have to fake at all
Hear the cry for home
When I listen
When I listen to the song
Well it feels, it feels so free
And you tell me
You will come and go with me
When you hear the cry for home
When you hear the call
You won't have to think at all
Hear the cry for home
Spoken (one more, one more time)
When you hear, hear the call
You won't have to fake at all
Hear the cry for home
(One more open it up, open it up)
When you hear, hear the call
You won't have to fake at all
Hear the cry for home
Hear (When you hear, hear the call)
Hear (When you hear, hear the call)
Hear (When you hear, hear the call)
Hear (When you hear, hear the call)
Hear (When you hear, hear the call)
Hear (When you hear, hear the call)

Gentle Hour

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/
