This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
""Can't let my lover go there's pieces of you deep as cherubim & seraphim swarm... I'll call this my love song while cherubim and seraphim scorn... It's cold my love? Don't ruin this Cold the love don't you feel this? Dull the love don't ruin this Can't breathe I'm bloodless now Candescent flowers burn and light the death in my eyes Can't be the heart she lost no wants no radiance gone And as the reverence turns she leaves the staling boy to mix new flesh with flesh and turn our souls till dawn Churn our souls tonight We're dead souls tonight Rest our souls tonight Amor Amor Love Amor Amor Now won't you say it or deny it won't you say it's enough Its cold enough we've no feeling the coldest blow No it's no good never enough""

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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
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
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.
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 think the song is about a man who commits suicide after the death of his lover.
He commits suicide because he can’t let her go, she’s left pieces of herself in him. It’s for love (i’ll call this my love song’), even though others think he was immoral for doing so- the angels ‘scorn’ him (cherubim and seraphim = angels).
He wishes he could make her live again- ‘Can’t be the heart she lost’.
She’s just a corpse now, an empty vessel- ‘No wants, no radiance, gone’- her soul’s in another place.
Her death has left him ‘staling’, ‘cold’, almost just a corpse himself. He has sex with other people ‘mix new flesh with flesh’, but there’s no emotional connection there, just bodies. This continues the idea that he feels corpse-like.
His soul ‘turns’ and ‘churns’ because he’s apart from her, the only way his soul can ‘rest’ is if their souls are together again.
I love the metaphors for death in this song, and of course the music! So many layers, and they fit together so well.
Hmm I’ve interpreted the song quite literally, but it could just be about the metaphorical death of the guy because his girlfriend left him- ‘mix new flesh with flesh’ could mean the girl’s sleeping with other guys. But I like my original interpretation better :P
Actually, because I'm bored and I can't sleep I'm gonna do a metaphorical interpretation of this song now :D
