In seventy-five,
I stood there and cried.
A walk to the edge...
A song is written to tell your story.
A walk to the edge...
Its how I remember things,
It's how I missed it.
And how do I move on when the time has stopped?
For too long, I've been thinking its time to move on...
and I'm sinking - again I can kiss
and I'm crawling from the abyss...
I've been saving up for this...
I'm still in love.
This disk will store my-
programmed treasures.
Only thoughts now,
I can't erase my-
programmed treasures.
It's how I remember things,
it's how I lost it.
And how will I get there now that your gone?
I've been thinking its time to move on...
and I'm sinking - again I can kiss
and I'm crawling from the abyss...
I've been saving up for this...

    Jolie's voice is so hypnotic... this song makes me want to break down everytime I hear it... It just reminds me of those times when I broke up with g/f's that I was so madly in love with and how hard it was to move on but I knew I had to...

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/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
