Everyday is a winding road, is a winding road, is a winding road, oh
(Is a winding road)

I hitched a ride with a Crazyhorse showgirl
She says she's been down this road more than twice (Time)
She wanted to know if I could tell the future (Tell the future)
I said, "I've never been there before, but the brochure looks nice"

Jump in, let's go (let's go, baby)
Lay back, enjoy the show
Everybody gets high (high), everybody gets low (Low)
These are the days when anything goes

Everyday is a winding road
I get a little bit closer
Everyday is a faded sign
I get a little bit closer to feeling fine
(Oh-oh)
(Listen now)

She's got a daughter she calls Easter
She was born on a Tuesday night
I'm just wondering why people feel so all alone (All alone)
Feeling like a stranger in their own life

Jump in, let's go (Let's go, baby)
Lay back (ooh-ooh), enjoy the show
Everybody gets high (High), everybody gets low (Low)
These are the days (Days) when anything goes

Everyday is a winding road
I get a little bit closer
Everyday is a faded sign
I get a little bit closer to feeling fine

(Jump in)
(Everyday is a winding road, is a winding road)

I've been swimming in a sea of anarchy
I've been living on compliments and herbal tea
I've been wondering if all the things I've ever seen
Were ever real (Were ever real, were ever real)
Were ever really happening

Jump in, let's go (let's go, baby)
Lay back, enjoy the show
Everybody gets high, everybody gets low
These are the days when anything goes

Everyday is a winding road (Come on, come on)
I get a little bit closer (get closer baby)
Everyday is a faded sign
I get a little bit closer to feeling fine

Everyday is a winding road (Is a winding road, is a winding road)
Everyday is a faded sign (Faded sign, let's go)

Da-da, da-da
Everyday, everyday
(Da-da, da-da)
Everyday, everyday
Oh-yeah
Everyday, everyday
Everyday, everyday

Do you love your brother? (Everyday, everyday)
Do you love your sister? (Everyday, everyday)
Do you love us? (Everyday, everyday)
Do you love God? (Everyday, everyday)

Everyday is a winding road
I get a little bit closer (ooh, yeah)
Everyday is a faded sign
(Closer)
Everyday is a winding road

Come on
We can make it
We can New Power Soul
(Dance, dance, dance)
Dance on the funk
Dance on the funk

Everyday is a winding road

    Prince's version of this song was on the '99 CD, "Rave unto the Joy Fantastic"; I like Sheryl Crow's version better, but Prince still gives her a good run for this track.

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"

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
