I wake up every morning to another crazy day I have to face
And when I'm losing my direction
You're the one who points me in the right way
You always know when I'm about to fall
It's like you're standing there when I hit that wall
Cause of you my eyes are open
And instead of always hoping
I have faith today

So thank you for blue skies
When my head is down
You remind me to look up
And thank you for all those times
You believed when others couldn't see
Oh, without you where would I be?

I should tell you in a letter
All the things that I have never said
Cause when you're right in front of me nothing ever comes out how I planned
Like how the heart in you goes on for miles
And when it passes through me I come alive
If I ever learned a lesson
It's in the first and lasting impression
Of the way you got to me

So thank you for blue skies
When my head is down you remind me to look up
And thank you for all those times
You believed when others couldn't see
Oh, without you where would I be?
Where would I be?

I wake up every morning to another crazy day I have to face

Hey, thank you for blue skies
When my head is down you remind me to look up
And thank you for all those times
You believed when others couldn't see
Oh, without you where would I be?
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you
For without you where would I be?

    i absolutely love this song. its my favorite. its about someone who sometimes loses her way (doesnt everybody?) or just gets down on herself, but there's someone special who's always there for her. that special someone could be anybody. i know who it is for me

    "i should tell you in a letter all the things that i have ever said, 'cause when you're right in front of me, nothing ever comes out how i planned." PERFECT. i completely agree!

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.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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/
