This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Uh
Oh
Hey yeah, yeah
Girl, when we started, baby, we were friends
But that's not how this fairytale is gonna end
See I was thinking that it clicked one day (clicked one day)
That no one else has ever made me feel this way
Next time I saw you, girl, I knew I had to try
To tell you everything that I was feeling deep inside
And listen good 'cause what I say is from my heart
So if you're ready
You see I toss and turn when I'm alone
And I just can't wait 'til you get home
Waiting for your call, 'cause tonight we're gonna do it all
Girl, it's just the two of us
'Cause I'm thinkin' 'bout you day and night
And I just can't get you off my mind
When you get a minute, baby, I was thinkin' we could hook up
It's just the two of us, the two of us
'Cause in a room full of people, you're the only one around
And nothing in this world could ever bring us down
Baby, I'll be there, telling you I care, this I swear
Girl, it's just the two of us, the two of us
Baby, I wonder if you feel the same as I do
I wonder if you're going through the things I'm going through
I sent you flowers on a Saturday (Saturday)
Inside's a letter with a message and no name
See I just love the feeling knowin' I can make you smile
And I haven't felt that way about someone in quite a while
Just listen to these words I have to say (ooh)
Just take a chance (take a chance)
You see I toss and turn when I'm alone
And I just can't wait 'til you get home
Waiting for your call, 'cause tonight we're gonna do it all
Girl, it's just the two of us
'Cause I'm thinkin' 'bout you day and night
And I just can't get you off my mind
When you get a minute, baby, I was thinkin' we could hook up
It's just the two of us, the two of us
'Cause in a room full of people, you're the only one around
And nothing in this world could ever bring us down
Baby, I'll be there, telling you I care, this I swear
Girl, it's just the two of us, the two of us
It just gets better with each day
(Maybe someday)
I always wanted to tell you
But I was so afraid
You see I toss and turn when I'm alone
And I just can't wait 'til you get home
Waiting for your call (waiting for your call)
'Cause tonight we're gonna do it all (gonna do it all)
Girl, it's just the two of us
'Cause I'm thinkin' 'bout you day and night
And I just can't get you off my mind

No Surprises
Radiohead
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
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels

Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
the beginning of this song always makes me think of a carnival or something :)
i love it
