Hi Berry,
This is Diane, this is Mary, Florence
And on behalf of everyone at Motown
We also wish to extend our congratulations
We couldn't get along without you
Just couldn't feel the song without you
Without your hand to guide our way
We'd all be lost somewhere in yesterday
We need your strength
We need your courage too
We need your constant faith to see us through
We couldn't get along without you
Just couldn't feel the song without you
You gave us hope when all our hope was gone
With wise and patient hands you kept hangin' on
When things were dark, You brought us shining light
Words cannot express the way we feel tonight
Berry, on behalf of the people at home
And the people all over this country
To whom you are a shining example
Our deepest congratulations
And of course our deepest love
We need you now more than before
Success is one thing, but you taught us much more
We couldn't get along without you
Just couldn't feel the song without you
The world should know the man inside
Who worked with courage and a deep sense of pride
Your strong and guiding hand has shown us the way
From those who love you most we just want to say
We couldn't get along without you
Just couldn't feel the song without you

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
