Everybody feels blue sometimes
You gotta keep your own head on
And keep on trying
And if you feel the urge to raise your hand
You can start a revolution or start a band

You better sing your song and sing it loud!
But you better not here and you better do now!
Cause this is what you'll like that and how we live
There's some people cause that is what my song says!

Don't you bring your sadness down on me
When peace is free!
There's a sun up ahead brother
Waiting on me, can't you see?

Well I know times can get a little though
You gotta lean on me brother you can't give up
Forget about your problems and forget about your pain
Raise up our glasses and forget about our hate

Don't you bring your sadness down on me
When peace is free!
There's a sun up ahead brother
Waiting on me, can't you see?

Yeah know I know it sounds so bad!
But if you want it, take a stand yeah!

Don't you bring your sadness down on me
When peace is free!
There's a sun up ahead brother
Waiting on me, can't you see?

Can't the whole world love one another,
Throw down your weapon and fix all the hunger?

Don't you bring your sadness down on me!
When peace is free! When peace is free

    This is a AMAZING song, and i think everyone should have to listen to it at least once in their life. It is obviously about world peace, and that no matter what anyone says or does, only you have the power to make yourself happy.

    Love the song, love the band, love the lyrics... All time favorite song

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.

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/
