I have returned to northern skies
Where summer hasn't touched the clouds that pass above
I have returned to the somber grays
Of days too early to come and too hurried to stay
I have left a million stars
And an ocean light and clearly blue
I have left the warmth of the sun
And a million adventures not yet begun
For once there was beauty here for me
Under the wide northern skies
And once there was magic here for me
Under the wide northern skies
I saw trees as green and as dark as blue
I break in poetry the deeper roots
Now I know this is lonely country
And leads me only back to the sea
For once there was beauty here for me
Under the wide northern skies
And once there was magic here for me
Under the wide northern skies
I have returned to northern skies
Where summer hasn't touched the clouds that pass above
I have returned to the somber grays
Days too early to come and too hurried to stay
For once there was beauty here for me
Under the wide northern skies
And once there was magic here for me
Under the wide northern skies
And once there was beauty here for me
Under the wide northern skies
And once there was magic here for me
Under the wide northern skies
I have returned
I have returned
I have returned
Where summer hasn't touched the clouds that pass above
I have returned to the somber grays
Of days too early to come and too hurried to stay
I have left a million stars
And an ocean light and clearly blue
I have left the warmth of the sun
And a million adventures not yet begun
For once there was beauty here for me
Under the wide northern skies
And once there was magic here for me
Under the wide northern skies
I saw trees as green and as dark as blue
I break in poetry the deeper roots
Now I know this is lonely country
And leads me only back to the sea
For once there was beauty here for me
Under the wide northern skies
And once there was magic here for me
Under the wide northern skies
I have returned to northern skies
Where summer hasn't touched the clouds that pass above
I have returned to the somber grays
Days too early to come and too hurried to stay
For once there was beauty here for me
Under the wide northern skies
And once there was magic here for me
Under the wide northern skies
And once there was beauty here for me
Under the wide northern skies
And once there was magic here for me
Under the wide northern skies
I have returned
I have returned
I have returned

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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/
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
I actually listen to this song and think of my life...I love this song! It seems to be about living in a place and missing the old homeland that they once lived in (I have left a million stars And an ocean light and clearly blue I have left the warmth of the sun And a million adventures not yet begun) I listen to the song and just know exactly what it's saying..i miss my hometown (in Alabama) and im now living in the north (Indiana) and I lived here when I was eight yrs. old and think of being so little and looking up at the northern skies and feeling so small (For once there was beauty here for me Under the wide Northern Skies) then we moved down south and that's where I called home for so long. This song I think talks about feeling alone and the yearning for home.
this song has so much meaning and Dido is my ultimate fav. singer EVER!! withlovexxblondy
