This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Young and old and in between
Six or sixty or sixteen
When you think that fate has been unkind
'Cause you haven't many toys
Like some other girls and boys
Here's a little rhyme worth remembering sometime.
What makes life the sweetest,
Bestest and completest?
Not a big doll house,
Or a Mickey Mouse,
But the right somebody to love.
Ice cream, cake and candy
May be fine and dandy,
But if you ask me there not one two three
With the right somebody to love.
One you really care for,
And is yours to have and keep;
One you say a pray'are for
In your "Now I lay me down to sleep".
Tho' you're not quite seven,
What is most like heaven?
It's the joy that's found
With your arms around
The right somebody to love.
What makes life the sweetest,
Bestest and completest?
Not what you and I,
Can go out and buy,
But the right somebody to love.
You may have a bankful,
For which to be thankful,
Nothing you possess,
Brings you happiness,
Like the right somebody to love.
One you really care for,
And is yours to have and keep;
One you say a pray'are for
In your "Now I lay me down to sleep".
All the milk and honey,
Pockets full of money,
Cannot take the place of the sweet embrace
Of the right somebody to love
Six or sixty or sixteen
When you think that fate has been unkind
'Cause you haven't many toys
Like some other girls and boys
Here's a little rhyme worth remembering sometime.
What makes life the sweetest,
Bestest and completest?
Not a big doll house,
Or a Mickey Mouse,
But the right somebody to love.
Ice cream, cake and candy
May be fine and dandy,
But if you ask me there not one two three
With the right somebody to love.
One you really care for,
And is yours to have and keep;
One you say a pray'are for
In your "Now I lay me down to sleep".
Tho' you're not quite seven,
What is most like heaven?
It's the joy that's found
With your arms around
The right somebody to love.
What makes life the sweetest,
Bestest and completest?
Not what you and I,
Can go out and buy,
But the right somebody to love.
You may have a bankful,
For which to be thankful,
Nothing you possess,
Brings you happiness,
Like the right somebody to love.
One you really care for,
And is yours to have and keep;
One you say a pray'are for
In your "Now I lay me down to sleep".
All the milk and honey,
Pockets full of money,
Cannot take the place of the sweet embrace
Of the right somebody to love

Hayalperest
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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
