Hey this life is never fair
The angels that you need are never there
But sometimes he comes to me
In the dead of winter, dead of night
He’s all that I can see

Hold on to me (4X)

We all get our glory
Our little bit of fame
But there’s no truth at the heart of any of it
Just the brilliance and the passion and the bitterness remains

Hold on to me (4X)

Oh how he brings me down
Oh, down into the ground
I never will get out
I never will get out

I'll protect you from the night, it will never fall
I'll protect you from the truth, you won’t hear it all
I am the center of the universe,
i am the center of the universe
i am the center of the universe

When you're in the whirlpool and they try to suck you in
Remember you aren’t gonna drown baby til you are out of life
hang on to me forever baby, I could always swim

Hold on to me (8X)

Hush your highness don’t you breathe
No, baby hold me in your arms I’m shivering
But what’s all that for
If I was the battle baby, you have won the war

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/

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.
