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”
There is no one else that I could say this to
And there is nothing better than to talk to you
If you have a problem, I'll be here for you
'Cause girl, you always know that
It's us against the world
I met someone the other night
Someone I really started to like
How will I know if he's right for me
I wonder if we are meant to be
Don't start to like him too much
Too soon
There is no one else that I could say this to
And there is nothing better than to talk to you
If you have a problem, I'll be here for you
'Cause girl, you always know that
It's us against the world
You know the boy I started to see
He thinks he can have it all for free
I wonder if he's the one for me
I try to talk to myself and to see
Don't start to like him too much
Too soon
There is no one else that I could say this to
And there is nothing better than to talk to you
If you have a problem, I'll be here for you
'Cause girl, you always know that
It's us against the world
There is no one else that I could say this to
And there is nothing better than to talk to you
If you have a problem, I'll be here for you
'Cause girl, you always know that
It's us against the world
Whenever you're near there is no fear
It feel's like there's nothing I can't do
You make me feel strong
'Cause it's here with you that I belong
There is no one else that I could say this to
And there is nothing better than to talk to you
If you have a problem, I'll be here for you
'Cause girl, you always know that
There ain't nobody else but you
That makes me feel the way that I do
There ain't nobody else but you
There is no one else that I could say this to
And there is nothing better than to talk to you
If you have a problem, I'll be here for you
'Cause girl, you always know that
It's us against the world
There is no one else that I could say this to
And there is nothing better than to talk to you
If you have a problem, I'll be here for you
'Cause girl, you always know that
It's us against the world.
And there is nothing better than to talk to you
If you have a problem, I'll be here for you
'Cause girl, you always know that
It's us against the world
I met someone the other night
Someone I really started to like
How will I know if he's right for me
I wonder if we are meant to be
Don't start to like him too much
Too soon
There is no one else that I could say this to
And there is nothing better than to talk to you
If you have a problem, I'll be here for you
'Cause girl, you always know that

You know the boy I started to see
He thinks he can have it all for free
I wonder if he's the one for me
I try to talk to myself and to see
Don't start to like him too much
Too soon
There is no one else that I could say this to

If you have a problem, I'll be here for you
'Cause girl, you always know that

There is no one else that I could say this to
And there is nothing better than to talk to you
If you have a problem, I'll be here for you
'Cause girl, you always know that

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."

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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
This song rox! The song, to me, means that you can always talk to a friend. The song is about friendship, knowing that you can count on the friends. The song is very upbeat and it's a good song to listen to.
