I Think I Found It

Manic Street Preachers

I think I've found it
And I think I love it
Buried in the dirt, hiding from the light

So I walked to the sea
Threw a pebble in for you and me
A day of wine and roses
Has made me feel alive

My letter was burnt but your words were wise
For mystery and youth must surely collide
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna tell everyone to lighten up

A song of anti-matter
Which might explain the absence
Of any precious jewels of truth to save mankind

I think I've found it
And I think I love it
Buried in the dirt, hiding from the light

My letter was burnt but your words were wise
For mystery and youth must surely collide
These things I've seen bring tears to my eyes
Live with me through the threads of your lives

These things I've seen bring tears to my eyes
Live with me through the threads of our lives, our lives

    'We met Mike Scott of The Waterboys on a plane from a festival, and James had sent Mike Scott a letter when he was 16, saying how much he loved Pagan Place and how he wanted to be like him, and Mike Scott actually came up to James and said "I kept that letter", because James burnt the edges of it and it's a hundred percent true, and James I think nearly shit himself when this happened, he was just like "Oh my God!", and Mike Scott was really gracious about it, so I think this tied in with this waking up, it very much sounds like the faces of something... it's unashamedly seventies, and it just swings along... I think it's James finding some sort of peace.'

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/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
