As American as apple pie, Mom and homemade jam
As proud as punch and peacocks, you know I am, I am
An all-American girl what knows good music and good times
Red, white and bluegrass, I'm not color blind

Red, white and bluegrass . . . red, white and blue
These are my true colors and I love my bluegrass, too
America, America, let pride and freedom ring
Red, white and bluegrass, let's all stand up and sing

Where else but in America can people live so free
And I'm proud of every soldier that has stood and fought for me
And I'm proud of every bluegrass band that's ever picked a lick
And I'm proud to be American, that's why I'm a-singin' this

Red, white and bluegrass . . . red, white and blue
These are my true colors, and I love my bluegrass, too
America, America, let pride and freedom ring
Red, white and bluegrass, let's all stand up and sing, and pick

Red, white and blue, I love my bluegrass, too
Red, white and bluegrass, don't you love it, too?

Red, white and bluegrass . . . red, white and blue
These are my true colors and I love my bluegrass, too
America, America, let pride and freedom ring
Red, white and bluegrass, let's all stand up and sing

Red, white and bluegrass, the red and white and blue ooh-ooh-ooh
Blue, ooh-ooh-ooh, red, white and blue
Red, white and bluegrass, red and white and blue
Red, white and bluegrass, red and white and blue
Red, white and bluegrass, don't you love it, too?
Red, white and bluegrass, let freedom ring
Red, white and bluegrass, everybody pick and sing

Red, white and bluegrass, red, white and blue
Red, white and blue, ooh-ooh-ooh
Red, white and blue

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”

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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/
