Oh nah, this little the light of mine
They better see me, better see me shine
I'll get my money, get my money right
I put that on my life

No lie, yeah
I remember when nobody fucked with me
They never called back, I could've caught that
Losing my mind, yeah
Stressing over pretty girls and lunch money
Not a lot's changed, only my change

All those nights, all those nights in the basement
All along, all along I've been saying

Oh now, this little light of mine
They better see me, better see me shine
I'll get my money, get my money right
I put that on my life

Oh now, this little light of mine
They better see me, better see me shine
I'll get my money, get my money right
I put that on my, I put that on my life
I put that on my, I put that on my life
I put that on my, I put that on my life

I'll get my money, get my money right
I put that on my, I put that on my life

Oh God, hey
New crib, new whip, new bitch
Feel like old money
Now they call back, I could've called that
Now that I'm on, ay
Stay with all my people who got love for me
Not a lot's changed, only my change

All those nights, all those nights in the basement
All along, all along I've been saying

Oh now, this little light of mine
They better see me, better see me shine
I'll get my money, get my money right
I put that on my life

Oh now, this little light of mine
They better see me, better see me shine
I'll get my money, get my money right
I put that on my, I put that on my life
I put that on my, I put that on my life
I put that on my, I put that on my life
I'll get my money, get my money right
I put that on my, I put that on my life

Oh now, this little light of mine
They better see me, better see me shine
I'll get my money, get my money right
I put that on my, I put that on my life
I put that on my, I put that on my life
I put that on my, I put that on my life
I'll get my money, get my money right
I put that on my, I put that on my life

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”

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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/
