keep me warm

Ron Pope

Central Park
Right after dark
We are laughing
Holding hands there in the grass
The summer sun has just begun to sing a lullabye to us and it feels so good

You and me
We've got everything we need

I'm not seeking shelter from no God-forsaken storm
Just lay with me tonight and keep me warm

Freckles on your arms
I pretend they're stars and find new constellations right beneath my hands
I don't know where the next six months will go
But I'm sure sunrise tomorrow will be better than the one before

You and me
We've got everything we need

I'm not seeking shelter from no God-forsaken storm
Just lay with me tonight and keep me warm
Just lay with me tonight and keep me warm

I count my footsteps and the avenues as I get close to you
Yes
I do
I can't ever seem to say quite what I really mean

You're beautiful and I'm not easy to please
So I will take the D train down from Harlem when you need me

You're beautiful and I'm not easy to please
So I will take the D train down from Harlem when you need me

I'm not seeking shelter from no God-forsaken storm
Just lay with me tonight and keep me warm
Lay with me tonight and keep me warm
Won't you lay with me tonight and keep me warm

    This song is about knowing someone and knowing that they won't be with you forever; whether you think they 'just like you back' or if they 'love you back'. It's just about you two spending that one last night together, doing whatever you two can do. You know she's not gonna be there forever, it's not her obligation to do so... But, just for one night, you need her to be with you.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Amazing
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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
