When I am sad and weary
When all my hope is gone
And I can't put my finger on the time things first went wrong
I have a little secret I like to tell myself
And until now I haven't told anybody else

You may not see things my way
Like my method or my reasons
But you can't tell me that I'm wrong

There's no heart you can't melt
With a certain little smile
And no challenge should be faced
Without a little charm and a lot of style
So don't put your faith in time - she heals but doesn't change
And only a fool won't take the chance to stay the same

When I am sad and weary
When all my hope is gone
I walk around my house and think of you with nothing on
I have a list of things I go over in my mind
When I can just sit right back and watch the world unwind

You may not see things my way
I don't care 'cause I'm not asking
But you can't tell me that I'm wrong

There's no heart you can't melt
With a certain little smile
And no challenge should be faced
Without a little charm and a lot of style
So don't put your faith in time - she heals but doesn't change
And only a fool won't take the chance to stay the same

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!

    Reminds me of an ex too.

    The line 'I walk around my house and think of you with nothing on'. It makes me laugh as i think to myself, is he actually walking around thinking with nothing on himself, or is he thinking about her and she has nothing on? Its the latter no doubt. But it could be the other way. Both plausible, both funny , and both of which i do.

    It's from a poem by Adrian Mitchell -

    When I am sad and weary When I think all hope has gone, When I walk along High Holborn I think of you with nothing on.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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/
