This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
It occurred to me at once that love could be a great illusion
That makes fools of brilliant thinkers everyday
And sends hearts of stone and steel to a place where they would feel like they were falling falling quickly in its wake
Oh, falling falling quickly in its wake
Is it any surprise that you feel so over-run?
When all this time you had no one to tell you how to love
And do you think it's unwise to go and break yourself on this one?
When all this time you didn’t know love, you didn’t know love, you didn’t know love
You didn’t know love
It occurred to me at once that love gets everything it asks for
Like a young girl picking flowers in the lawn
She gets every kiss and tear
She gets every smile and fear
But still she never finds the last of them is gone
Oh, she never finds the last of them is gone
[Is it any surprise that you feel so over-run?
When all this time you had no one to tell you how to love
And do you think it's unwise to go and break yourself on this one?
When all this time you didn’t know love, didn’t know love, didn’t know love
You didn’t know love] (3x)

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
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/

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
"And do you think IT'S UNWISE to go and break yourself on this one..."
Ah yes, thanks mrtsc. That makes wayyy more sense.
this song
,,but still she never finds the last of them is gone..
i love their lyrics with their second layer..
this my favorite
definitely an amazing song! i can't seem to figure out what it's about though... someone trying too hard to love, so they feel over-run? i have no idea, hah.
i think the song is about someone who has never known love before but all the sudden they find someone and they're just so overwhelmed by it
I think the whole song might be a message to someone who is heartbroken. The two verses describe what love is or explaining what it is, maybe in a more negative light: The first verse talks about its power to hurt even the strongest and smartest people. The second verse talks about how people who are loved get everything they want by those who love them, but they take it for granted.
Then the chorus is actually directly "comforting" the heartbroken person, telling them that they shouldn't feel like a failure since they didn't know what they were doing. "Do you think it's unwise to go and break yourself on this one?" may be telling the person not to blame themselves.
Since the person didn't know what love is and didn't know what he/she was doing, the verse explain to them what love is.
I agree jeffyzai. :]
And this song is absolutely beautiful. Copeland is perfect. :]
he never belived in love, but one day he fell in love fo the first time and was overwhelmed by it
