Here in this crowd I'm feeling all alone
Turn me around and point me back to home
I'm getting lost more everyday
And I can't tear myself away
From the stars in my eyes with no light

Here are my terms, have some faith in me
And I'll let you be who you need to be

[Chorus]
Life on the moon, could it be any stranger?
Life on the moon, wouldn't feel as far away?
The life that I knew is through
And I'm gonna need you more than ever
I'm alone in this crowded room
It's like life on the moon

Flown off the ground my head's up in the air
Self conscious to a fault with other people everywhere
It's getting harder every night, to take the punches left and right
Just to know that you are here by my side

Here are my terms, have some faith in me
And I'll let you be who you need to be

[Chorus]

Getting lost in my own atmosphere
Stars in the sky all the stars in my eyes
Is the cost of getting out of here alive

[Chorus]

Life on the moon
The life that I knew
It's through
And I'm gonna need you more than ever
I'm alone in this crowded room
It's like life on the moon.
Life on the moon.

    Ahhh one of my faves on David's self titled! The lyrics are great, the concept of life on the moon. Really made me say 'hmm' aloud. It's a fantastic song.

    I think the song is about a shaky relationship. Maybe him becoming famous changed things a lot? He still feels he needs her now that he IS famous and show business is like 'life on the moon' meaning it's very out of this world for him. He feels he needs her to keep steady from the pressures of being a pro musician and she can still do what she wants because he simply just wants her support.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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/

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.
