All Your Attention

Daniel Bedingfield

Don't want you looking at the stars tonight
I just want your eyes on me
I want to be the only thing on your mind
I'll be all you need

(La la la la la la la la la la la la la)

Don't want you talking on the phone, don't go out
I just want you here with me
Don't want you spending time alone
Stay around, I'll be all you need

(La la la la la la la la la la la la la)

Can't you see you hold my heart in your hands
You own me, you own me
I need you to survive
I know I'm alive when you hold me
Hold me

Don't want to share you with the stars in the night
I only want you to only want me
Now, then and forever
Even jealous of the sun in your eyes
I want you looking at me, only me
I want all your attention

Forgive me if I seem to need you too much
You illuminate my soul
Don't think I could breathe without your touch
You could never know

(La la la la la la la la la la la la la)

When I'm with you I've got nothing to hide
You know me, you know me
I need you to survive
I know I'm alive when you hold me
Hold me

Don't want to share you with the stars in the night
I only want you to only want me
Now, then and forever
Even jealous of the sun in your eyes
I want you looking at me, only me
I want all your attention

Can't you see you hold my heart in your hands
You own me, you own me
Need you to survive
I know I'm alive when you hold me
Hold me

Don't want to share you with the stars
Don't want the moon to touch your heart
I only want you to only want me
Now, then and forever
Even jealous of the sun in your eyes
I want you looking at me, only me
I want all your attention
I want you looking at me, only me
I want all your attention

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
