I can't help but blush when you're near me
But you just exclude me from your circle of three
I'm right in front of you, but you don't see
You treat me like I'm a Colin Creevey

I love you, but it seems you don't love me
My friends say you're so brave
And I know you will see that we were meant to be
When you miss me it'll be too late

I've swallowed so much love, my hair grows red
Come over to my house to see my brother instead
You didn't get my valentine, didn't know what it meant
Every page about you my diary's read

I love you, but it seems you don't love me
My friends say you're so brave
And I know you will see that we were meant to be
When you miss me it'll be too late

Even though you're the one I adore
Next year at Hogwarts you'll see I've transformed
I will hold my head up high, I'm a Gryffindor
And you won't need to save me anymore

I love you, but it seems you don't love me
My friends say you're so brave
And I know you will see that we were meant to be
When you miss me it'll be too late

    OMG!! I never thought Switchblade Kittens would make such a kewl song!!! Harry Potter is so very good movie/book wise. I tought they just called this song "ode to harry potter" just because, but then I started hearing "Gryffindor" and "Colin Creevey" and I was seriously shocked!

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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/
