After Today

David Bowie

(Woo)

Always in trouble
Never to blame
Must be a double
You are the same
Here it comes again

Doing the wrong thing
Forgetting your lines
Waiting for something fancy to shine
Hate that same old game

After today, fortune man will find you
After today, they will find you working
After today, you'll find the ones you're after
After today, look out, after today

What kind of rescue?
What will you be?
Where can you take it, baby boy? For me
Break that heart for me

After today, the fortune and fame will find you
After today, they will fly you away
After today, you'll find the one you're after
After today, look out, after today

After today, fortune and fame will find you
After today, they will fly you away
After today, you'll find the one you're after
After today, look out, after today

Today
After today
After today, hey
Look out, after today
Ah, yeah
Look, ah

(I was getting in to that)

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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/
