Cold morning
I was looking out it was a cold day

songbird was drinking from a table
but songbird you just flew away

everybody's gotta feel the weight of death sometimes
and find out what it's like to be left behind
sometimes you don't get a chance to ask where or why

so let it break the magic beauty of your fragile mind
and let it break the magic beauty of your fragile mind

it's not a sign of weakness
when your searching for the places where the memories flow
there may come a time
when you rearrange and may leave those memories
you've gotta let them go

everybody's gotta feel the weight of death sometimes
and find out what it's like to be left behind
sometimes you don't get a chance to ask where or why

let it break the magic beauty of your fragile mind
let it break the magic beauty of your fragile mind

everybody's gotta feel the weight of death sometimes
and find out what it's like to be left behind
sometimes you don't get a chance to ask where or why

let it break the magic beauty of your fragile mind
let it break the magic beauty of your fragile mind

stay strong
move on
keep on

    this very sad song, one i cant listen to. it's coping with memories of a special one and being able to move to another place, without being reminded of the past

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
