I wipe my memory
Clean like a white board
I've seen every color inside
Staggering forward
I reach for the table and try to remember myself
Once you've been fooled
You know every trick
But I guess this one time I was blind
You wrapped us in glory
You smothered my story
Pretending to know how to feel

It's heaven when you call
Heaven when you're calling me out from under
Heaven only knows
Heaven has a hold on me
Oh, my savior

It's heaven when you call
Heaven when you're calling me out from under
Heaven only knows
Heaven has a hold on me
Oh, my savior

This should be heaven
I say to myself as you cover your body in me
These days are not long enough
Nights are too cold
And sometimes I just need someone
In nights when we both wake up
Stare at our faces in mirrors not ready to love

It's heaven when you call
Heaven when you're calling me out from under
Heaven only knows
Heaven has a hold on me
Oh, my savior

It's heaven when you call
Heaven when you're calling me out from under
Heaven only knows
Heaven has a hold on me
Oh, my savior

It's heaven when you call
Heaven when you're calling me out from under
Heaven only knows
Heaven has a hold on me
Oh, my savior

It's heaven when you call
Heaven when you're calling me out from under
Heaven only knows
Heaven has a hold on me
Oh, my savior

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.

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/
