I really miss you when the nights are long
And only silence is heard in this world of song
But life goes on
And forever more
Ill be haunted by your love

I see you walking through the gates of home
And then I wake up to find
I'm still all alone
I should have known
But forever more
Ill be haunted by your love

Lonely is the river
As it tumbles to the ocean
Searching for our future
We can find our way back home

My only comfort is the love we share
And as I walk through this world
With sadness everywhere
I've had my share
And forever more,
Ill be haunted by your love

And forever more,
Ill be haunted by your love

Standing in the doorway
As the sunrise greets the morning
Searching for our future
We can find our way back home

I really miss you when the nights are long
And only silence is heard in this world of song
But life goes on
And forever more
Ill be haunted by your love

Haunted by your love
Haunted by your love
Haunted by your love
Haunted by your love

    One of the best songs EVER. This song, which was in "Strange Times", is so moving, and to truly appreciate it, you have to hear it live. The studio version has much less detail.

    This song seems to be a continuation of the theme of long lost love (Who Are you Now, and I Know You're Out There Somewhere).

    A different sounding song from the Moodies with the du-du-du du-du-du backing vocals and finger snapping. A song that on first listening will make you say WTF? but will grow on you with repeated listenings.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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/
