Ah, My Kitten

of Montreal

Look in my eyes, what do you see?
I'm hanging upside down like a chimpanzee
When I'm with my friends
Riding somewhere on a crowded bus
There is nothing that I want to discuss
I just sit and smile thinking about us

What is this that sends black fireworks
Dancing around me?
When we kiss the explosiveness
Is life's sweet mystery

I feel like a balloon
Floating higher, I'm touching a distant moon
I don't think I'll come down anytime soon
Ah, my kitten
I am so glad you're the way you are
You're my favorite living human, by far
Because you make this frightening world
Less bizarre

What is this that sends black fireworks
Dancing around me?
When we kiss the explosiveness
Is life's sweet mystery

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/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
