Einst rannte ich durch wilde Flur
Bekleidet mit mei'm Herzen nur.
Doch es bot mir keinen Schutz,
zerrissen war's durch menschlich' Schmutz.

Ich rannte Wege unbekannt.
Ich schrie die Tränen tief ins Land.
Verfluchte der mir's Leb'm geschenkt
und fragt wer mein Geschicke lenkt.

Die eigenen Geschicke sind gelöst,
aus der Macht der eigenen Hand.
Doch wer zeichnete dann die Pfade,
die mir nahmen den Verstand.

Der Regen fiel auf meine Haut,
tränengleich - es war mir so vertraut.
Ich breitete die Arme aus,
und schrie meinen Schmerz hinaus...

So genoß ich seine Tränen
Die da fiel'n auf meine Haut.
So kühlte er auch meine Lider,
unser beider Schreien wurde laut.

Ich legte mich ins feuchte Gras
und sang was ich aus den Wolken las.
Und ich Verstand die Zeilen, die der Dichter schrieb:
Das Regentropfen Tränen sind, die da fallen, wenn Regen liebt.

[English translation:]

[When Rain Loves]

One day I ran through wild nature
only clothed with my heart
But it offered me no protection
ripped apart from human dirt.

From unknown paths
I screamed the tears deep in the land
I cursed the one who gifted me life
and asked who controls my fate

One's fates are lost
from the power of one's own hand.
But who drew the paths,
which took me from my sanity.

The rain fell on my skin,
like tears - it was so familiar to me.
I spread out my arms
and scream all my pain up and away.

I, I enjoyed his tears;
snow that fell on my skin
Then she cooled my eyelids
and our screams together became loud.

I lay in moist grass
and sung of what I read in the clouds.
And I understood the lines, written by the poet:
That raindrops are tears, fallen when rain loves

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.

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."

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/

Magical
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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
