Wish I had somebody
Wish I was somebody's baby
Somebody's somebody
Somebody's somebody
(Somebody)

Watching lovers walking
Hand in hand, they pass me by (yeah)
Wish I was one of them
Wish I had somebody wakin' up beside me
Looking into my eyes at night

I want a love to call my own (I want a love to call my own)
I want someone that I can hold (I want someone that I can hold)
Want someone wanting me
I wanna feel how it feels to be

Somebody's somebody
Someone's someone
Some sweet lover's lover
I wanna be that one (I wanna be the one)
Someone faithful to someone faithful
Someone kind to someone kind to me
Somebody to somebody who loves me (who loves me, yeah)
Who loves me

Spending all of my time
Spending all my time on me (oh baby)
Where is that someone who I can give my time to
Searching for that lover
With the love that will change my life

I want two arms to hold me close (I want two arms to hold me close)
I want the thing I need the most (I want the thing I need the most)
Somebody needing me
So I can feel how it feels to be, to be, yeah

Somebody's somebody
Someone's someone
Some sweet lover's lover
I wanna be that one (I wanna be the one)
Someone faithful to someone faithful
Someone kind to someone kind to me
Somebody to somebody who loves me
Who loves me

What I'm looking for
Is someone to love me more
Than I've been loved before with love so right
What I need to find
Is someone to hold me tight
What I mean is I want to be

Somebody's somebody
Someone's someone
Some sweet lover's lover
I wanna be that one (I wanna be the one)
Someone faithful to someone faithful
And someone kind to someone kind to me
Somebody to somebody who loves me
Who loves me
Who loves me
Who loves me
Who loves me
Who loves me
Who loves me baby

Somebody's somebody
Somebody's somebody
Somebody's somebody
Somebody's somebody
Wish I was one of them I was somebody's baby
Somebody's somebody
Wish I was one of them baby, I was somebody darling
Ooh c'mon, c'mon for me
Somebody's somebody
Somebody's somebody
Wish I was one of them I was somebody's baby
Somebody's somebody

    I love this song. When you don't have a special someone by your side and see all those happy couples, you easily wish you had someone to love...

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”

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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,

Punchline
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.
