Well how do you do?
My name is Lars
I'm from Cambell, California
You might know that by now
I'm of Danish decent
For that I'm proud
See, my father was a nomad
I haven't seen him for awhile
Lost a brother
Still got a mother, I ain't motherless
For some of you out there
That might be hard to believe
See, I've been up and I've been down
Smiled and I've frown
I'vve made a every gesture
That a young man could steal
And I know that I'm married to the sea
Well, I know I'm married to the sea
You see, some people are on lockdown
And some are free
But I know that I'm married to the sea

Well I've been rich I've been poor
Spent it on whores
Got married and divorced
To the girl that's next door
Stolen fast cars, dated pop stars
Been around the world
Slept with underage women
Turned tricks for a thrill
Tried sucide but didn't die
Well I'm here to tell
I don't know of heaven
But I've made peace with hell
Been shot at, been stabbed
Been beaten up real bad
Survived everything without being killed

And I know I'm married to the sea
And I know I'm married to the sea
Some people are on lockdown man
Some are free
And I know I'm married to the sea

Slept in fancy hotels, eaten from garbage cans
But down every highway I grew into a man
Seen my best friend die right before my eyes
Aborted a baby and shed all my tears
Been strung out on pills
Slammed my share of dope yea
I drank all your booze man
And I snorted your coke
I've been loved I've been hated
To me it's all the same
Embraced by a lover
Or your cursing my name

And I know I'm married to the sea
And I know I'm married to the sea
Some people are on lockdown
And some are free
And I know I'm married to the sea

And I know I'm married to the sea
And I know I'm married to the sea
Some people are on lockdown sugar
And some are free
And I know I'm married to the sea

I'm married to the sea
You see the great big ocean
Well that's for me
Sorry ladies, I'm married to the sea
I'm married to the sea
I'm married to the sea

But I'm free
Yeah, I'm free...

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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/

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
