You should believe me
And everything I choose to do
You should believe that I'll
Always come back to you

Life is discovering
The love that we create
Life is a mystery
We need to embrace

In every way
You need to let go
You'll see all your dreams will follow
In every way
You need to let go

People rise together
When they believe in tomorrow
Change the day to forever
This life keeps movin'
People rise together
When they believe in tomorrow
Change the day to forever
This life keeps movin'

Open your mind and see
We have everything we need
Dream or reality
Fulfill its destiny

In every way
You need to let go
You'll see all your dreams will follow
In every way
You need to let go

People rise together
When they believe in tomorrow
Change the day to forever
This life keeps movin'
People rise together
When they believe in tomorrow
Change the day to forever
This life keeps movin'

You need to let go
You need to let go

People rise
When they believe
Change the day
This life keeps movin'

People rise together
When they believe in tomorrow
Change the day to forever
This life keeps movin'
People rise together
When they believe in tomorrow
Change the day to forever
This life keeps movin'

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

    Song Meaning

    I just discovered this song the other night (heard "Come Through" by Samantha James on a DirecTV music radio channel and downloaded her discography) and I LOVE IT! I can just picture myself rolling, waving some glowsticks while dancing my ass off. Singing along, of course. But I digress.

    Clearly this song is about having a positive, collectivist outlook on life. The only way this world can change and progress forward is by leaning on each other, rejecting negativity and isolationism to bring forth a more humanistic worldview. Personally, when I listen to this song I like to think that the lyric "you need to let go" is saying that we need to let go of preconceived notions, our addiction to individualism, greed, and capitalistic evils so that we can realize that the only true happiness lies in living for our fellow man.

    America stands for everything I hate about this world. The emphasis on "individuality," which only serves to divide social/economic groups based on arbitrary "differences" instead of emphasizing our shared humanity; our addiction to money and "things" at the expense of the poor/less fortunate members of our society and our world; and equating happiness with how much money is in your bank account and how many material possessions we own. Sorry, I'm not trying to write a research paper here. But this song makes me really happy with how positive it is and the ideals that it represents (to me, at least).

    Plus it's a super catchy electronic dance song, so it's like sugar to my ears.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Mountain Song
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
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/

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.
