She's now my new sun
She don't speak but somehow calls to me
Automated exchanges make us not lovers
But feigner's, we are only strangers

Not estranged to regret
Not estranged to what follows our faulty steps

Ocean tides move to the voice of the moon
Strange how we move
How strange that I move to the voice of the moon
Love ringing out of tune

Regret once kept me from her door
But every time wore off more and more
So now we're back here
Playing sincere with a new set of bones, we are strange

Not estranged to regret
Not estranged to what follows our faulty steps

Ocean tides move to the voice of the moon
Strange how we move
How strange that I move to the voice of the moon
Love is ringing out of tune

Ocean tides move to the voice of the moon
Strange how we move
How strange that I move to the voice of the moon
Love ringing out, ringing out of tune

Leave your bad limbs behind
Leave your bad limbs behind
For they are conduits to the heart
Conduits to the heart, conduits to the heart
Conduits

    I love how this song picks up right after "New Sun" like a continuation of the story. But I think the "she" is some sort of sin that the guy keeps coming back to, and that the tides are forces he feels are beyond his control that keep bringing him back to "her." And the line "Regret once kept from her door but every time wore off more and more" I think talks about how his conscience wears down every time he comes back to "her."

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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/

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.
