    One time I had a dream in which I was browsing through this giant wharehouse store and, in the blankets sections, they had a bunch of different blankets for different Pixies songs

    I remember having a conversation with someone else looking at blankets about how I like La La Love You because it is a joke song and that 'I like all the Pixies' joke songs

    So I'm pretty sure it's a joke song! My subconsious says

    I think this song is about.... How both males and females throw around the phrase "i love you" like its a baseball for a couple of reasons. It makes them feel like they are in love....a comforting feeling and reassurance and also the guilt free sex...because of course..its OK to have sex if you love them right?

    I heard Frank Black say this song is defeinetly not about love and that anyone who thought it was is "misinterpreting it". I think it's about lust, and promising love to get to "first base second base third base" and "homerun".

    It's about telling someone that you love them just so you can bang them. The whole song is fully of flirtiness and the home run part kinda spells it out.

    this song is plain and simple. its a joke sarcastic love song in response the the sappy love pop songs being heard on the radio in the late 80's. i mean god their joking. i mean david lovering the drummer sings it for god sake. the intro with the i love you's being said should be ur first clue. great tune though and the pixies are the best band ever aside from the clash

    Dude, read the above comments, and never dedicate this song to somebody ever again. Ever.

    Although this song does make me wonder why they never let this guy sing anything else. Good God, does EVERYBODY in this band have an awesome voice?

    This song is so obviously about trying to score. It's not "sweet". Who would think that?

    i find it sounds like they are making fun of Morrissey/The Smiths. The voice, anyway...

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Blue
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.
