Ed Motta – 1978 (Leave the Radio On) Lyrics 1 year ago
The person speaking is still in shock over a difficult relationship breakup; he is no longer in the girl's world since she "said something like 'I don't want 'ya". By "p(l)aying around" the couple found that "[their] world" was actually not what they thought: "never our world then".

He begs for the listener to leave "the radio on", maybe it keeps him distracted from the immediate pain of lost love...

"L.A. love, oh-oh..."

Ed Motta – 1978 Lyrics 1 year ago
This is about the lonely and simpler life of a man grown old.

He doesn't bother to "turn around / for the girl at the bar to look" because he knows she likes younger guys.
He reads "the old local newspaper", maybe the same one he has read for the last 70+ years...
"Relembrou" "He recalled..."

Ed Motta – 1978 Lyrics 1 year ago
At dawn he woke up /
The time zone deceived him /
Without thinking, he went to the elevator /
He didn't even flinch, he didn't turn around /
For the girl at the bar to look

The capital woke up /
He then went back to the hotel /
It was ten when he called /
He ordered coffee, read it standing up /
The old local newspaper

He's always alone /
He doesn't miss it /
He's always alone /
He doesn't separate himself from the shadow /
He's always alone...

In the taxi, the cold left /
The heat of the engine warming /
His face colorless, too dry /
Of a place, far away to remember

On the worn sand of the sea /
In the gray of his gaze, he remembered /
He was seventy-eight, free after all /
He felt himself, his own pleasure changed

He was already alone /
He didn't care /
He was already alone /
His path had been traced /
He was already alone

He's always alone /
He doesn't miss it /
He's always alone /
He doesn't separate himself from the shadow /
He's always alone...

On the worn sand of the sea /
In the gray of his gaze, he remembered /
He was seventy-eight, free at last /
He felt like his own pleasure

Without being formal /
And not sentimental /
Free at last

Mariya Takeuchi – Plastic Love Lyrics 1 year ago
A girl behaves recklessly after an affair that didn't work out...
It's fake and she knows it, but what is better than dancing the night away?

Steely Dan – Any Major Dude Will Tell You Lyrics 1 year ago
I feel like it's about someone who has broken up before (broken heart, only half left) and gotten his life "together again" giving relationship advice to someone who has just gotten his heart broken for the first time and is looking for purpose in life.
