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”
Quand j'écoute un peu le langage
Qui tient tant à m'impliquer
Et vient me prendre comme otage
Le soir aux actualités
Et ça vous prend dans les mirettes.
Ils font tout pour nous faire pleurer.
J'ai le Sahel dans mon assiette
Et trois lépreux au petit salé.
Merci, messieurs les journalistes
De bien vouloir nous informer
Quand on sait qu'en mettant le fric
Demain, l'Afrique pourrait bouffer.
Faudrait sacrifier un avion
Dans le ciel de l'armée française.
"C'est embêtant" dit Matignon.
"On peut pas faire ça à Marcel."
Mais vous n'êtes pas gens égoïstes
Et rien que pour faire bisquer les voisins
Vous ferez bien le sacrifice
D'adopter un petit Vietnamien.
On en appelle à votre cœur.
Nous, on peut pas, comprenez bien
Car comme nous l'a dit le docteur
"La ville, c'est pas bon pour son teint."
Au Vatican, quand quelqu'un glisse
Zitrone est là pour commenter.
Le patinage évangélique
Ça change un petit peu du tiercé.
Et le voici devant le Pape
Et Monseigneur et Majesté.
"Soyez gentil, venez à Pâques !
On a des Viets à baptiser !"
On demande à monsieur le ministre
En s'excusant de le déranger
Et tout en brossant sa pelisse
"Est-ce qu'on peut vous interviewer ?"
Il est confiant, y'a de l'espoir.
Tant qu'y a de l'espoir, il est confiant.
Il connaît pas le désespoir
Mais il affirme qu'il le comprend.
Ça va leur faire plaisir en Lorraine
De savoir qu'on les a compris.
Si y'a pas de pain dans la gamelle
Fallait voter, comme on avait dit.
"Mais si ces gens-là se rebiffent
Enverrez-vous des chars là-bas ?"
"Non" qu'il répond dans un sourire.
"Nous n'avons plus ce modèle-là."
"Et à propos du nucléaire
Dites-nous, monsieur, les dangers
S'il avait, quelque part dans l'air
Des bulles qu'on ne pourrait contrôler."
"En ce qui concerne les fuites
Nous sommes plus ou moins habitués.
Mais si ces bulles ont forme de frite
Ce sont nos voisins d'à côté."
Et c'est ainsi que se termine
Votre journal télévisé.
Des enfants ont marché sur une mine
Sur les plages de Méditerranée.
Passez quand même un bon dimanche
Et sur les routes, soyez prudents !
Et comme pour l'année de l'enfance
Laissez vos gosses chez vos parents.
Il fera beau sur toute la France.
La vague de froid est passée.
Prochain journal, 23 heures 30.

@[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/
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Reggaevision News
When I listen a bit to the language That holds on to involve me And comes to take me as an hostage At the evening news And that shoots you straight into the eyes. They do everything to make us cry. I have the Sahel in my plate And 3 lepers in salt pork.
Thank you, gentlemen and journalists For willing to inform us well When we know that, spending money Tomorrow, Africa could eat!
You must sacrifice a plane In the French army sky. "It is annoying" says Matignon (location of the French Prime Minister) "We cannot do that to Marcel (Dassault)." But you are no selfish people And, only to wind neighbours up You would make the sacrifice To adopt a little Vietnamese.
We are appealing to your kind heart. Us, we cannot, understand well Because, as the doctor told us "City is no good for his complexion."
At Vatican City, when someone slips (Léon) Zitrone is there to comment. The evangelic skating That makes a change from betting on the horses And here he is in front of the Pope And His Lordship and His Majesty. "Be kind! Come for Easter! We have Viets to christen!"
We ask the Minister Apologizing for disturbing him And, while brushing his pelisse "Can we interview you?"
He is confident, there is hope. As long as there is hope, he is confident. He does not know despair But he says that he understands it. They are going to be happy, in Lorraine To know they have been understood. If there is no bread in the tin can They should have voted, as someone had said.
"But if those people hit back Will you send tanks over there?" "No" he answers, with a smile. "We do not have that model anymore."
"And what about nuclear power? Mister, tell us the danger If there were, somewhere in the air Bubbles no one could control." "As for the leaks We are more or less used to them But if those bubbles are chips-shaped They come from our close neighbour (Belgium)."
And so end Your television news. Children have stepped on a mine On Mediterranean beaches. Anyway, have a good Sunday And on the roads, be careful! And, because of the year of the childhood Leave your kids at your parents'. It will be sunny all over France. The cold wave has gone. Next news at 11:30pm. Thank you for having listened to me.
The proof that the news end by deforming us with so much unemployment, exclusion and oil spill, until the point that we, television viewers, would incite the world to join for causes that are not enough told during the 8pm news on television. The most warned must have recognised an interpolation of Claude Perraudin's "Scoop", that used to be the opening music of TF1's news during the late seventies. Well done, Boris.
