The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
He's got a brand new car
Looks like a jaguar
It's got leather seats
It's got a CD player
But I don't wanna talk about it anymore
I think we're gonna make it
I think we're gonna save it
So don't you try and fake it
Anymore, anymore
We'll start over again
Grow ourselves new skin
Get a house in Devon
Drink cider from a lemon
But I don't wanna talk about it anymore
I think we're gonna make it
I think we're gonna save it
So don't you try and fake it
Anymore, anymore
I think we're gonna make it
I think we're gonna save it
So don't you try and fake it
Anymore, anymore
He's got a brand new car
He's got a brand new car

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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/
Blue

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
i never noticed the "buck rogers" at the end of the chorus before, i read this and was like hmm, i can hear that - anyhoo - this song is great, agree with zodin
how do you 'drink cider from a lemon'?
I thought it was 'drink cider from eleven', which is the time pubs open in england. So when they live in this house in Devon, they will be in the pub drinking cider at 11am.
@H2dae Yes, it's definitely drink cider from 11, the best line in this song, and what any good British teenager ought to be doing with their lives, meeting up with their mates and drinking cider from 11am.
feeder is a good band.. and jon lee... remembered. i was in dublin, ireland finishing my finals when i heard this song and the aforementioned band on MTV, it glued to me immediately. i always fancied good music arrangements from any rock songs. this one certainly has it.. simplicity in its own originality. keep up the good work - my wish to feeder.
Feeder are by far one of my fave bands (RIP Jon Lee), and I can't wait for them to get back on track. This song really got me into feeder, its just brilliant, thats all i can say
The song that got me into Feeder. The car is a metaphor for the journey of life I think, not a real car. It's just about completely starting again (as the 2nd verse shows)
Do they actually say "Buck Rogers" in the song, like the lyrics suggest?
@StarmanDX no lolXD
They do, StarmanDX, but its rather distorted. I personally didn't hear it until I listened for it.
Buck Rodgers is actually about Grant's ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend showing off in his 'brand new car' we can assume that it resembled a Jaguar, and it's safe to say that it had an in-built CD player lol, i love this song, it's amazing catchy
The name "Buck Rogers" comes from a space hero who was sent 500 years into the future and returns to earth. My suggestion is that the part where he says "let's start over again" has something to do with this.
Good song; rock on!
