The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
You always make me smile
When I'm feeling down
You give me such a vibe
It's totally bonified, mmh
It's not the way you walk
And it ain't the way you talk
It ain't the job you got
That keeps me satisfied
Your love, it feels so good
And that's what takes me high
Higher than I've been before
Your love it keeps me alive
Thought I should let you know
That your touch it means so much
When I'm alone at night
It's you I'm always thinking of, ooh-oh, baby
Ooh I want you to understand
How I feel, yeah, deep inside
Oh oh, you make me feel
What I need to feel, yes
In my heart
Your love, it feels so good
And that's what takes me high
Higher than I've been before
Your love it keeps me alive
Thought I should let you know
That your touch it means so much
When I'm alone at night
It's you I'm always thinking of, oh-oh, baby
Your love, it feels so good
And that's what takes me high
Higher than I've been before
Your love it keeps me alive
Thought I should let you know
That your touch it means so much
When I'm alone at night
It's you I'm always thinking of, ooh-oh, baby
Your love, it feels so good
And that's what takes me high
Higher than I've been before
Your love it keeps me alive
Thought I should let you know
That your touch it means so much
When I'm alone at night
It's you I'm always thinking of, ooh-oh, baby
Your love, it feels so good
And that's what takes me high
Higher than I've been before
Your love it keeps me alive
Thought I should let you know
That your touch it means so much
When I'm alone at night
It's you I'm always thinking of, ooh-oh, baby
When I'm feeling down
You give me such a vibe
It's totally bonified, mmh
It's not the way you walk
And it ain't the way you talk
It ain't the job you got
That keeps me satisfied
Your love, it feels so good
And that's what takes me high
Higher than I've been before
Your love it keeps me alive
Thought I should let you know
That your touch it means so much
When I'm alone at night
It's you I'm always thinking of, ooh-oh, baby
Ooh I want you to understand
How I feel, yeah, deep inside
Oh oh, you make me feel
What I need to feel, yes
In my heart
Your love, it feels so good
And that's what takes me high
Higher than I've been before
Your love it keeps me alive
Thought I should let you know
That your touch it means so much
When I'm alone at night
It's you I'm always thinking of, oh-oh, baby
Your love, it feels so good
And that's what takes me high
Higher than I've been before
Your love it keeps me alive
Thought I should let you know
That your touch it means so much
When I'm alone at night
It's you I'm always thinking of, ooh-oh, baby
Your love, it feels so good
And that's what takes me high
Higher than I've been before
Your love it keeps me alive
Thought I should let you know
That your touch it means so much
When I'm alone at night
It's you I'm always thinking of, ooh-oh, baby
Your love, it feels so good
And that's what takes me high
Higher than I've been before
Your love it keeps me alive
Thought I should let you know
That your touch it means so much
When I'm alone at night
It's you I'm always thinking of, ooh-oh, baby

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Gentle Hour

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
this is one of those songs you can play on repeat forever and not get tired of it! I remember first hearing it on some commercial for a compilation a long time ago... then was reminded of it when I DLed some random music player because they used it as their theme(...).
it's all about someone always being there for you, to the point just being near them or hearing them speak makes you feel happy inside. sadly(I guess), only one person fits into that category for me besides my family. well, more people have claimed to want to fit those shoes but they all wound up screwing me over. that doesn't feel so good. =P
