I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I believe in miracles
Where you from
You sexy thing (sexy thing, you)
I believe in miracles
Since you came along
You sexy thing
Where did you come from, baby?
How did you know I needed you?
How did you know I needed you so badly?
How did you know I'd give my heart gladly?
Yesterday, I was one of the lonely people
Now you're lying close to me, making love to me
I believe in miracles
Where you from, you sexy thing (sexy thing, you)
I believe in miracles
Since you came along, you sexy thing
Where did you come from, angel?
How did you know I'd be the one?
Did you know you're everything I prayed for?
Did you know, every night and day for?
Every day, needing love and satisfaction
Now you're lying next to me, giving it to me
I believe in miracles
Where you from, you sexy thing (sexy thing, you)
I believe in miracles
Since you came along, you sexy thing
Oh, kiss me, you sexy thing
Touch me, baby, you sexy thing
I love the way you touch me, darling, you sexy thing
Oh, it's ecstasy, you sexy thing
Yesterday, I was one of the lonely people
Now you're lying close to me, giving it to me
I believe in miracles
Where you from, you sexy thing (sexy thing, you)
I believe in miracles
Since you came along, you sexy thing
Oh, touch me
Kiss me, darling
I love the way you hold me, baby
Oh, it's ecstasy
Oh, it's ecstasy (sexy thing, you sexy thing, you)
Kiss me, baby (sexy thing, you sexy thing, you)
I love the way you kiss me, darling (sexy thing, you sexy thing, you)
Oh, yeah (sexy thing, you sexy thing, you)
Love the way you hold me (sexy thing, you sexy thing, you)
Keep on lovin' me, darling (sexy thing, you sexy thing, you)
Keep on lovin' me, baby (sexy thing, you sexy thing, you)
Where you from
You sexy thing (sexy thing, you)
I believe in miracles
Since you came along
You sexy thing
Where did you come from, baby?
How did you know I needed you?
How did you know I needed you so badly?
How did you know I'd give my heart gladly?
Yesterday, I was one of the lonely people
Now you're lying close to me, making love to me

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'

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/

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
he's excited-must be good
Oh, such a feel-good song! I first heard it on the Full Monthy film. And as for the meaning, well it's pretty obvious- this man who was lonely not long ago, now has a sexy sex partner and cannot believe his luck.
I can't help but think of Boogie Nights...
Really love this song. :) But what would it be like if he said "booty calls" instead of "miracles"? Lol.
This sexy thing must have been real sexy, he sounds real excited. Of course, this song is cheesier than cheese - hahaha. Still, it reminds me of the Full Monty, that movie is fun.
Cheesy? Cheesy, you say? This song is the epitome of class for that time period in music. Considering the genre that was popular at the time, this was high class! And who doens't like a mug of hot chocolate...sizzle sizzle;) The funny part is that he says "I believe in miracles. Where you from" so apparently the song is not about a deep, long love affair. (Oops, perhaps I shouldn't have selected those words;) I love the song. It's a song you sing in the morning to the half asleep person lying beside you (who you love) when ya both awaken with stank breath and bad hair after a night of dancing and drinking:)
yes the music is different
Chocolate is the symbol of love.
As a kid I always thought he sang 'I believe in Milkos' (thinking it was some type of sweet or something). But my friend thought it was 'I believe in milkmen', which is a far cooler lyric.
