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"
you've got this spark of imagination
triggered by boredom
yet seldom turned to flame
maybe tonight is, maybe tonight is different
maybe tonight a bon fire.
oh my god you're right
but you wouldnt go go go anywhere
you wouldnt go
maybe we'll jump in
in to the fire
maybe we'll stay here
away from our own...
you're in love with nothing
you're in love with no one
you're in love with nothing ing ing ing ing ingggggg yeahahahahah.
oh my god you're right
but you wouldnt go go go anywhere
you wouldnt go
oh my god you're right
but you wouldnt go go go anywhere
you wouldnt go
ease back, calm down a little
ease back, calm down
ease back, calm down a little
ease back, calm down
ease back, come down
ease back, come down
oh my god you're right
but you wouldnt go go go anywhere
you wouldnt go
oh my god you're right
but you wouldnt go go go anywhere
you wouldnt go
triggered by boredom
yet seldom turned to flame
maybe tonight is, maybe tonight is different
maybe tonight a bon fire.
oh my god you're right
but you wouldnt go go go anywhere
you wouldnt go
maybe we'll jump in
in to the fire
maybe we'll stay here
away from our own...
you're in love with nothing
you're in love with no one
you're in love with nothing ing ing ing ing ingggggg yeahahahahah.
oh my god you're right
but you wouldnt go go go anywhere
you wouldnt go
oh my god you're right
but you wouldnt go go go anywhere
you wouldnt go
ease back, calm down a little
ease back, calm down
ease back, calm down a little
ease back, calm down
ease back, come down
ease back, come down
oh my god you're right
but you wouldnt go go go anywhere
you wouldnt go
oh my god you're right
but you wouldnt go go go anywhere
you wouldnt go

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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
omg no comments??? this song is freakin' amazing!!!
well, I used to never know what this song was about, but then I learned from my older sister that apparently it's about a girl who has something that sets her off and she wants to kill herself, so basically the singer is telling her "she's right" and to "come down" and not to jump and kill herself or something like that...
