Something Sweet

The After Midnight Project

I'm sick of searching
I'm sick of wanting
I'm sick of dreaming
I'm sick of being.

I wish that love would find its own way
I'm sick of searching everyday
A touch a smell, a butterflies wing
It’s all I feel its all you bring
A star can sit for a million years
I can barely sit still before I break into tears...
Confused...

I'm cold on the floor
Trying to look under the wooden door
But the shadow that tears everything apart has got a hold of my heart
I sit and I wait staring at a picture of your face that fades away
Then you're gone, now I need something sweet to move me on.

I need an opinion
I need a direction
I feed on deception
I lead to destruction.

Confused I'm left with nothing to choose
But this pad and this pen and this bottle of booze
I just want to know if this searching will end I've been running in circles and it seems that I tend
To look for an answer that could never be found
So I'll dig and I'll dig till I'm sick feet under ground.

I'm cold on the floor
Trying to look under the wooden door
But the shadow that tears everything apart has got a hold of my heart
I sit and I wait staring at a picture of your face that fades away
Then you're gone, now I need something sweet to move me on.

I just need you to need me
I just want you to know...

I'm cold on the floor
Trying to look under the wooden door
But the shadow that tears everything apart has got a hold of my heart
I sit and I wait staring at a picture of your face that fades away
Then you're gone, now I need something sweet to move me on.

I need an opinion
I need a direction
I feed on deception
I lead to destruction...

    once again an awesome opening to a song by AMP i think that everyone can relate to the first few lines: "I'm sick of searching I'm sick of wanting I'm sick of dreaming I'm sick of being.

    I wish that love would find its own way I'm sick of searching everyday"

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“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.

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.
