Hands Up

Hedley

Ah yeah
Oh my God
Something is wrong
I'm floatin' down a river where I don't belong

With out you
'Cause if I fall
With out you
Now I see
It's all clear to me
I could do a lot of things, but I could never be

With out you
'Cause if I fall
With out you
And you pick me up when I am down
(Pick me up)
And you make me smile

So hands up
Take it all away
If I got you then I'll be OK
I know, now everybody say
If I got you I like it that way

Oh oh
Oh my God
Nothing is fine
I'll go a little crazy
'Cause I'm losin' my mind

With out you
'Cause if I fall
With out you
(If I fall)
Come what may
All I gotta say
I could have a lot of fun, but I don't wanna play

With out you
'Cause if I fall
With out you
You pick me up when I am down
(Pick me up now)
And you make me smile

So hands up
Take it all away
If I got you then I'll be OK

I know
Now everybody say
If I got you I like it that way
If I got you I like it

With out you
I don't got a reason
With out you
I don't got a soul
(I don't got a soul)
For all my days
I live to praise
You make me wanna
Scream and shout it out
It's all I gotta say
Ah nah

Hands up
Take it all away
If I got you then I'll be OK
I know
Now everybody say
If I got you I like it that way

Hands up
Take it all away
If I got you then I'll be OK
I know
Now everybody say
If I got you I like it that way

If I got you then I'll be OK
If I got you I like it that way

    Hedley is apparently Christian, this is definitely about God. I don't believe the lyrics are appropriate for a relationship with a woman. "All my days, I live to praise you."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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/

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.

Plastic Bag
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.
