"Strance of galactic matter strew through unimaginable emptiness
Like teardrops on the spider's web"
"I call this part space flight"
"likes because of the situation, its silence, tranquil
weightless situation"
"There really is no up and down"
"Everybody's weightless, they can just... loose"

When Neil Amstrong landed on the moon
Said the world's not bigger than a spoon
Stuck his thumb up to all of mankind
And the world that he left behind

Tue-o tue-o
Tue-o tue-o
Tue-o tue-o
Tue-o tue-o

A shooting star and a glimpse of the Sun
The belt of Orion that come undone
Though the food from the tube was a drag
As he planted down the flag

Watchin' you from the moon
Six thousand miles gonna be home soon
Watchin' you from the moon
Six thousand miles gonna be home soon

Amazing fantastic
How far are the moon and stars
Amazing fantastic
I can't still see where you are

Watchin' you from the moon
Six thousand miles gonna be home soon
Watchin' you from the moon
Six thousand miles gonna be home soon

When Gagarin was way up in space
Must've known the world's a little place
There's picture of you in my mind
And the world that I left behind

Tue-o tue-o
Tue-o tue-o
Tue-o tue-o
Tue-o tue-o

From the moon we will not seem so bad
Except for the weather and the lost 'n sad
For we'll blot it all out with a smile
Cause it that's more from six thousand miles

Watchin' you from the moon
Six thousand miles gonna be home soon
Watchin' you from the moon
Six thousand miles gonna be home soon

Watchin' you from the moon
Six thousand miles gonna be home soon
Watchin' you from the moon
Six thousand miles gonna be home soon

Tue-o tue-o
Tue-o tue-o
Tue-o tue-o
Tue-o tue-o

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.

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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/
