The angelic New England sun sets
Over the low-income housing district
As I dissect the forever sky
Looking for a peace I left behind
Misery is what you make of it:
All my drunken never-sent love letters
And six miles of backroad to tempt death
With a fast car and bad intentions

And it is all far too bittersweet
For me to do anything but fall to my knees
And laugh at the tragic beauty of it all
We could drive eighty-five all around this town
But we'll never fly or find our way out
And that piece of me will always be yours
Under the false warmth of the stars

You are secret overlooks all the best views around
Stitching symphonies into silent films
And if we can't be then at least promise me
You'll stay gold and always free

The beauty of youth is a rose planted in pavement
Growing up is giving up so spit back in their faces
I wish that I could save you from the cold
Is love is faster then light promise me you'll stay gold
Because I've already lost my way
And I can't get out of this loveless place

Under the false warmth of the stars
I want to hold you in my broken arms

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Just A Little Lovin'
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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
