"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.
Ella en la cama dice soy su G
Siempre yo le caigo a prender chronic
Le encanta como se lo hago a esa honey
Apenas yo la dejo y me tira callin
Ella mi tira callin
Que se siente lonley
Y regrese porfi
Su favorito plug in
Con sus besos holiday
De perfume molly
Todo el dia Horney
Ella me pone dummy
Ella mata por mi
Su cara de dolly
Con ella soy Tony
Mato como tu a mi
Ella en la cama dice soy su G
Siempre yo le caigo a prender chronic
Le encanta como se lo hago a esa honey
Apenas yo la dejo y me tira callin
Ella mi tira callin
Que se siente lonley
Y regrese porfi

Ella pregunta por mi
Siempre me llama los finde
Siempre después de las 12
Me pide que pase y la robe
Que pase con ella la noche
Sabe lo que tiene y lo usa bien
Sabe que me tiene y me usa bien
Fan de su cuerpo y de su piel
Ella me hace enloquecer
Lo sé por la forma en que me ve
La forma en que baila en la discotec
Me mira a los ojos toma Moët
Ella en la cama dice soy su G
Siempre yo le caigo a prender chronic
Le encanta como se lo hago a esa honey
Apenas yo la dejo y me tira callin
Ella mi tira callin

I Can't Go To Sleep

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
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
