I know you're playing a game
But you're not to blame
But sometimes I feel just the same
I need a renaissance
Another chance to make new plans
But I'll go on livin' just the same (Ooooh)

[Chorus]
Now that you're gone (now that you're gone)
I'll go on living (I'll go on living)
And I'll carry on just the same
And you're to blame
Now that you're gone (now that you're gone)
I'm just beginning to feel the pain

We happened much too fast
That's in the past
We may know at last
But that's a chance we'll have to take (Ooooh)

[Chorus]

Just begun (just begun) to be the one
To feel the pain
Just begun (just begun) to feel the pain
To be the one
To feel the pain
You left us when I was much too young
And I was your only son
But you left me anyway
And now my heartache's just begun
And now you're gone I'm all alone

[Chorus]

Just begun to feel the pain
To be the one to feel the pain
Just begun (now that you're gone)
To be the one (now that you're gone)
Just begun (now that you're gone)
To be the one (now that you're gone)
Now that you're gone
To be the one (now that you're gone)
Just begun (now that you're gone)
To be the one (now that you're gone)
Now that you're gone
To be the one (now that you're gone)
Now that you're gone
To be the one (now that you're gone)

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/

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
