This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I closed my eyes, a blind and cold-hearted fool,
Last night I lost my mind and came so close to losing you
So close to losing you
Misread your smile, misunderstood your tears,
Ignored the pleading voice and every sigh
Even your words of love I would not listen
It's a lesson I'll never forget
No communication gave rise to fear
Tell me, who's to blame
What I really meant to tell you I panicked,
'cause I would die if something happened to you
I'd die if something would
But I'm so spoilt by your patience and devotion
That only now I recognize some of my cruel ways
Some of my cruel ways
Maybe it's good, maybe it was meant to be
There was no other way you could get through
Now it's my turn to get through to you baby
It's a lesson I'll never forget
No communication gave rise to fear
Tell me, who's to blame
What I really meant to tell you, I need you
And I would die if something happened to you
I'd die if something would
What I really meant to tell you, I love you
And I would die if something happened to you
I'd die if something would
What I tried to tell you baby, what I tried to tell you darling
Could not live without you honey, would not live without you, no
If only you were with me baby, if only you were with me darling
'Cause I've been waiting for you honey, I've been waiting for you
I closed my eyes, a blind and cold-hearted fool,
Last night I lost my mind and came so close to losing you,
So close to losing you
So close to losing you
Last night I lost my mind and came so close to losing you
So close to losing you
Misread your smile, misunderstood your tears,
Ignored the pleading voice and every sigh
Even your words of love I would not listen
It's a lesson I'll never forget
No communication gave rise to fear
Tell me, who's to blame
What I really meant to tell you I panicked,
'cause I would die if something happened to you
I'd die if something would
But I'm so spoilt by your patience and devotion
That only now I recognize some of my cruel ways
Some of my cruel ways
Maybe it's good, maybe it was meant to be
There was no other way you could get through
Now it's my turn to get through to you baby
It's a lesson I'll never forget
No communication gave rise to fear
Tell me, who's to blame
What I really meant to tell you, I need you
And I would die if something happened to you
I'd die if something would
What I really meant to tell you, I love you
And I would die if something happened to you
I'd die if something would
What I tried to tell you baby, what I tried to tell you darling
Could not live without you honey, would not live without you, no
If only you were with me baby, if only you were with me darling
'Cause I've been waiting for you honey, I've been waiting for you
I closed my eyes, a blind and cold-hearted fool,
Last night I lost my mind and came so close to losing you,
So close to losing you
So close to losing you

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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
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.
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.
