Just ? that one thing that happened one time and you can loop that incessantly and maybe, uh, find a second ending somewhere else. And listen to an African record and find a rhythm from there and uh, some salsa piano, and uh, classical music and reggae, and funk. Beats from the Baltic region, and Chinese music... and whatever, just from any source. Uh, from old records or CDs, or from stuff you recorded yourself, and you chop it up and get it to match. Get it to be in the same tune, get it to be the same kind. And then magically somehow, you find things that go together. And that's the miracle of this type of music-making.

Just because I really...
Just because I really...
Just because I really...
Love you...

Just because I really...
Just because I really...
Just because I really...
Love you...

Just because I really...
Just because I really...
Just because I really...

Just because I really...
Just because I really...
Just because I really...
Love you...

Just because I really...
Just because I really...
Just because I really...

Um, you get the real sound...
I could play that; dum da-dum, pa-dum pum, dum pa-dum pa-dum... I could play that on my melodica, I could get an orchestra to play it, but that's not the point. I could also write something else, I could write dum-dum pa-dum pa-dum or dum-dum... I could write anything. Get musicians to play, I could record them. Uh... and that's cool and you do that too but the whole point of it is that you find these sounds and when you hear them, you can hear... you hear the context. You hear where it was recorded, it has so much... it comes from a place. It's not just a melody. It's a real... what is it? I don't know. It's magic. And to mix those different magic moments together, you create something new that... but it has... you can hear it because it has all these echoes of the past and it's, uh... I mean that's - that's why they pay me big bucks.

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/

Amazing

This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

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.
