We Are We Are

Brigands

our souls are spotless so we're taking our aim
bandwagon sniffing out a harmless mistake
i gave you half a chance you couldn't
come the whole way
but i'm sure you'll be fine
by the end of the day

(prechorus)
come we'll meet
anonymously
grab your pitchforks and your torches
and your mob mentality

(chorus)
we are we are one more person to blame
we're hunting for someone to shoulder our shame
we never miss a chance never go on our way
we are we are one more person to blame


i sleep so sound each night cos someone agrees
with where i put a line that nobody sees
if you're not fine in time well it's not on me
my soul is spotless cos of what i believe

(prechorus)
come we'll blow
this up til it explodes
grab your soapbox and your pedestal
and gobs of throwing stones

(chorus)

(bridge)
and oh how fast you're hiding
if the light ever lands on you
and oh how loud you're crying
you're crying out but just for you

(chorus)

    My Interpretation

    I think this song is about the mentality of being on the Internet, anonymously criticizing people, and only seeing things from one point of view.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.

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/
