She's the top, she's got the world on a string
She makes me boogie, makes me do anything, yeah, yeah
Hey now, touch the sky
You've got a certain kind of look in your eyes

Well, she's a miracle, she's all that I need
Like the water and the air that I breathe, yeah, yeah
Hey now, reach the sky
There's a certain kind of look in your smile

And I know what love can do
Yes, I know what hearts can do

The big love is taking the wheel
The big love goes head over heels
The big lust, bring it into the small world
The bigger, the better

Big love, waiting to catch the big one
Head over heels, the big one
Bring it into the small world
I'm building the big, big love
I'm building the big, big love

It's kinda strange, a bit mysterious
I gotta take it oh so so serious
Hey now, touch the sky
You've got a certain kind of look in your eyes

It used to be so hard so lonely at night
Well, she's my baby and I'm feeling alright
Hey now, move the sky
There's a certain kind of look in that smile

When I'm making love with her
When I'm making love to her, yeah

The big love is taking the wheel
The big love goes head over heels
The big lust, bring it into the small world
The bigger, the better

Big love, waiting to catch the big one
Head over heels, the big one
Bring it into the small world
I'm building the big, big love, yeah
I'm building the big, big love

It has to be a big thing
It's bringing me to my knees
Has to be a big thing, big thing
You know what I'm saying

The big love is taking the wheel
The big love goes head over heels
The big lust, bring it into the small world
The bigger, the better

Big love, waiting to catch the big one
Head over heels, the big one
Bring it into the small world
I'm building the big, big love
You know, I'm building the big, big love

Big love, building the big love
Big love, big love, big love
Big love, big love, big love

Another Love
Tom Odell
I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.

Shudder to Think
This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation. Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.

Blank Space
Taylor Swift
This song is Swift's response to the negative reputation the media has given her. "I can make the bad guys good for a weekend" - the bad guys are the paparazzi to Swift, but are good to the "player" since association with Swift immediately gives publicity. Any publicity is good publicity and Swift knows this. "You can tell me when it's over" - the tabloids rumor relationships are over before the couple announces it officially. With this song Swift is portraying the way she is portrayed by the media. It is a sarcastic jab at how she views herself and how her "ex-lovers" only wanted to be with her to increase their fame. I applaud the brilliance in writing about how you always write about relationships. It is expected so Swift is giving the media what they want and profiting off the attention.

Matt Paxton
Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."
