He push a breath of air and he fills every sail in sight
He push a breath of air and he fills every sail in sight
He spin a big, blue ball and he turns the day into night
And he shifts in his sleep and the earth begins to quake
Yeah, he shifts in his sleep and the earth begins to quake

So, how much difference could it possibly make?
How much effort could it possible take to save me, to save me, to save me, just to save me?
Save me from sailing over the edge

To save me, to save me, to save me, just to save me
Save me from sailing over the edge

And he could strike a match and your world goes up in flames
Yeah, he could strike a match and your world goes up in flames
He spin a big, blue ball and the night turns into day

To save me, to save me, to save me, just to save me
Save me from sailing over the edge

    Lovely lyrics. It is obviously about God, and his power. The first 10 lines say how easily he could use it to destroy everything. But the last line, it shows that he still has hope that he will use his power to "turn night into day". Thus, the title. I may not believe in God, but I really do know the feeling of knowing someone who can make everything okay. ahhh :)

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.

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/

Blue
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.
