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”
Baby you're such a tease
With legs that go on forever
Baby come back to me
And maybe we'll get together
Baby come back to me
You're such good company
Baby come back to me
I don't expect you to stay here
I might go shopping, just to
I'd go out
Just to buy those things that are eluding me
Just to buy something from the mall
Just to buy something that's eluding me
With a friend or two
And a friend like you
Baby come back to me
You make it look so easy
Why do I have to try
So hard just to be happy?
I feel so empty, so I
I'd go shopping
Just to buy those things that will me me feel
Just to buy those things from the mall
Just to buy those things that will me me feel
Much better
So much better
And I'll call up my sister, for my
Sister's my teacher
And she might know what I need
'cause it's not on the telly
And I'll call up my sister, for my
Sister needs me
And I'll fix her a cup of coffee, and we'll

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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
Pretty sure at least some of this is about James' Black Thursday; the day their manager quit, Tim announced he was going off to make Booth And The Bad Angel, Larry quit the band, and - most significantly - they discovered the bureaucratic snafu that left them with a £250,000 unpaid tax bill ("It all belongs to Caesar").
wow, before adbusters , dance punk, buy nothing day and all this trendy anti-consumerism James hit the nail on the head. Some love buying crap to surround themselves with synthetic crap, and some love life. I guess Mexico doesn't really fit into "western society" or culture for that matter. Awesome song.
