There's More To Me Than You

Jessica Andrews

I spent years and all of this time
Thinkin' I was better off
'Cause you were mine
You always said it was your way or the highway
So i shifted my life into drive
Gettin' out kissin' my past goodbye
Like Toby said how do ya like me now
This conversation has run dry
And I keep tellin' myself

Oh oh oh there's more to me than you
Oh oh don't underestimate what I can do
'Cause I'm alright
It's ok
I know I'll make it through
'Cause there's more to me than you

I'm not sayin' I'm batered or bruised
But I might as well be the words that you used
I believe in myself
That makes me stronger
Things change and so have I
I'm gonna make hay while the sun still shines
You can clip my wings but I'm still gonna fly
I'm on my own and on my way
And I keep tellin' myself

Oh oh oh there's more to me than you
Oh oh don't underestimate what I can do
'Cause I'm alright
It's ok
I know I'll make it through
'Cause there's more to me than you

There was always somthin' that meant more to you than me
And I'm just sorry it's taken this for you to see

Oh oh oh there's more to me than you
Oh oh don't underestimate what I can do
'Cause I'm alright
It's ok
I know I'll make it through
'Cause there's more to me than you

Oh oh oh there's more to me than you
Oh oh oh there's more to me than you

    This is the only song I've ever heard that has two equally good versions (the normal and the ballad). I love this song!

I Can't Go To Sleep
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
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.
