"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Tanto te quiero que pienso
Sin saber lo que he pensado
Tanto te quiero que pienso
Sin saber lo que he pensado
Nos acariciamos y luego
Solo sé que yo te amo
Nos acariciamos y luego
Solo sé que yo te amo
Es un amor que nació profundo
Limpio como se ve la nevada
De misterio esta lleno el mundo
No sé que sentirá tu alma
De misterio esta lleno el mundo
No sé que sentirá tu alma
Será sensible como el silencio
Que domina la montaña
Será sensible como el silencio
Que domina la montaña
Vamos Toño, uy
Freddy Molina te quiere
Eres mi duda esperanza
Freddy Molina te quiere
Eres mi duda esperanza
Cuando el Guatapurí se crece
Al sentir mi pasión se calma
Cuando el Guatapurí se crece
Al sentir mi pasión se calma
Es un río que nace en la Nevada
Que en todo el Cesar fuerte se siente
Pero mi gran pasión la iguala
El ímpetu de su torrente
Pero mi gran pasión la iguala
El ímpetu de su torrente
Ay, 'ombe
Upa
Si no me miras el propio cielo
Siente mi pena y se entristece
Si no me miras el propio cielo
Siente mi pena y se entristece
En Valledupar yo canto
Versos de mi inspiración
En Valledupar yo canto
Versos de mi inspiración
Si algún día sufro un desengaño
Me voy lejos de esta región
Si algún día sufro un desengaño
Me voy lejos de esta región
Como pájaro que vuela alegre
Y aunque viaja herido no lo encuentran
Y que en la inmensidad se pierde
Como si no llevara pena
Y que en la inmensidad se pierde
Como si no llevara pena
¿Pa' qué cantar al sufrimiento
Cuando el amor sufrir no deja?
¿Pa' qué cantar al sufrimiento
Cuando el amor sufrir no deja?
Sin saber lo que he pensado
Tanto te quiero que pienso

No sé que sentirá tu alma
De misterio esta lleno el mundo

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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
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/
