As I stand alone on this moonful night
For the first time I feel alone in life
And as I watched the moon kiss the starlit skies
I feel the need for your lips to press close to mine

For so long I been afraid to love
But right now I feel the need for love
And you, you have the love, the love I need
To comfort me (when I'm in need)

I'm ready for love
I'm truly ready for love
Your wonderful sweet, sweet love
Right now I'm ready for love

(I'm ready right now, I'm ready right now)

I've tried to shield my heart from love's tender touch
'Cause to lose in love would hurt so much
But as I softly walk in my solitude
I searched my heart and found there's a need for you

And for the first time I feel alone
'Cause I need a love to call my own
And only you, you have the love, the love I need
To comfort me

Baby I'm ready for love
I'm truly ready for love
Your wonderful sweet sweet love
Right now I'm ready for love
I'm ready for love
I'm truly ready for love
Your wonderful sweet sweet love
Right now I'm ready for love

(I'm ready right now, I'm ready right now)
(I'm ready right now, I'm ready right now)

Something wonderful has come over me
And filled this heart of mine with ecstasy
I'm glad I finally opened up my eyes
And pushed the fear of love, the fear of love aside

And for the first time I feel alive
I have the touch of love deep down inside
And just as soon as I see your smiling face
I'll rush into your warm embrace

And I'm ready for love
I'm truly ready for love
You wonderful sweet, sweet love
Right now I'm ready for love
I'm ready for love
Oh baby, I'm ready for love
Your wonderful sweet, sweet love
Right now I'm ready for love

You know I'm ready for love
I'm truly ready for love
Your wonderful sweet, sweet love
Baby I'm ready for love

I'm ready for love
Ready for love
Sweet, sweet love
Ready for love

Ready for love
Ready for love
Sweet, sweet love
Ready for love

Ready for love
Ready for love
Sweet, sweet love
Ready for love

Ready for love

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”

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."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
