This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
(Concept: The lonely hero)
Look at me, an awful mess.
I try to breathe but I must confess.
They say that I'm seeing the world when I'm here at home.
I make a call to reach a friend
But you're never there so I pretend
that you're with me and having a laugh
But it just won't do. It isn't true.
Here alone with my thoughts
So I get stoned and shake it off.
But it squeezes the life from my bones
and I feel unknown.
They look at me and they don't try
And I feel as though I can't stay at all.
Just give me a chance to make you laugh
And I'll leave at once.
They always read, read me wrong.
Assuming that I, I am always gone.
But honestly friend all I want is to spend some time with you.
In my room with a record on,
It comforts me to hear Bazan.
He translates feelings to song
And I sense his pain,
It stays with me.
Do you know my words are true?
Can I sing my song for you?
Listen close cause I'm spilling my heart for the first time.
They look at me and they don't try
And I feel as though I can't stay at all.
Just give me a chance to make you laugh
And I'll leave at once.
They always read me wrong.
Assuming that I am always gone.
But honestly friend all I want is to spend some time with you.
I cannot say everything on my mind!
I cannot say everything!
So I swallow the pill you give me.
They look at me and they don't try
And I feel as though I can't stay at all.
Just give me a chance to make you laugh
And I'll leave at once.
They always read, read me wrong.
Assuming that I, I am always gone.
But honestly friend all I want is to spend some time with you.
I cannot say everything on my mind!
I cannot say everything!
So I swallow!
Look at me, an awful mess.
I try to breathe but I must confess.
They say that I'm seeing the world when I'm here at home.
I make a call to reach a friend
But you're never there so I pretend
that you're with me and having a laugh
But it just won't do. It isn't true.
Here alone with my thoughts
So I get stoned and shake it off.
But it squeezes the life from my bones
and I feel unknown.
They look at me and they don't try
And I feel as though I can't stay at all.
Just give me a chance to make you laugh
And I'll leave at once.
They always read, read me wrong.
Assuming that I, I am always gone.

I cannot say everything!
So I swallow!

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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/

American Town

This is just one beautiful song. I can relate to it so well. Thank you Lonely Forest!
