I really wanted you

Pansy Division

I heard you're getting married
It seemed inevitable to me
Cause i was with you the night you met her
She had you hooked instantly
At the very first i thought it wouldn't last too long
Pretty soon i realized my estimate was wrong
Well i guess it's kinda late now
To say what you already knew
I really wanted you
I know it's jealous reaction
But after all that time we spent
She just picked you up and carried you off
I couldn't follow where you went
I'm well aware that certain things just cannot be
But don't deny that there were other possibilities
On the hottest night of the summer
On a sticky, steamy street
I was glowing like the sunset
I knew how happy we could really be
Your suntanned body stretched out on the carpet
In front of me
I know as long as live i'll never lose that memory
Well i guess i shouldn't say no more
You can do what you want to do
I just had to say, i really wanted you

    This song is sad. I wonder how often these things happen? After a one night experience, a guy marries a girl to his gay friend's despair.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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,
