This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Wrong again
Father, I hate to tell you this
You taught me how to hit the mark
But once again I missed
Touch the fire
You always said that I'd get burned
Why is it so hard to remember
All the lessons I have learned?
How can you look at me that way
When I have failed so many times?
Showing me love, you tell the world
"This child is mine"
(This child is mine)
How can you walk that extra mile?
I see forgiveness in your smile
So sure you'd reject me
Wrong again
Once again
Lord, I have wandered from your path
Thought I knew a better way
Falling short of what you've asked
Standing here
(Standing here)
I don't deserve a second chance
And I can't conceal the shame I feel
It's more than I can stand
How can you look at me that way
When I have failed so many times?
Showing me love, you tell the world
"This child is mine"
(This child is mine)
How can you walk that extra mile?
I see forgiveness in your smile
So sure you'd desert me
Wrong again
When I look into your face
And see the power of your grace
I find it so hard to believe
Forgiveness that you're showing me
I see the answer in your eyes
Love and mercy realized
Finally the truth has set me free
How can you look at me that way
When I have failed so many times?
Showing me love, you tell the world
"This child is mine"
(This child is mine)
How can you walk that extra mile?
I see forgiveness in your smile
I thought you would scold me
Instead you just hold me
Thought you would judge me
Instead, you just love me
So sure you'd reject me
Wrong again
Father, I hate to tell you this
You taught me how to hit the mark
But once again I missed
Touch the fire
You always said that I'd get burned
Why is it so hard to remember
All the lessons I have learned?
How can you look at me that way
When I have failed so many times?
Showing me love, you tell the world
"This child is mine"
(This child is mine)
How can you walk that extra mile?
I see forgiveness in your smile
So sure you'd reject me
Wrong again
Once again
Lord, I have wandered from your path
Thought I knew a better way
Falling short of what you've asked
Standing here

I don't deserve a second chance
And I can't conceal the shame I feel

How can you look at me that way
When I have failed so many times?
Showing me love, you tell the world

How can you walk that extra mile?

Instead, you just love me
So sure you'd reject me
Wrong again

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

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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
