Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
The first date's the worst date, its hard to know just what to do,
I take you to dinner, you don't eat you just play with your food
Then there's something familiar, about every word you say,
Its hard to believe, this happened again
I already met you, I already met you,
You're like my last girlfriend, the ex,
And the girlfriend I had before her
I take you to my apartment in Venice just south of Beirut,
You tell me you're bored and you don't like the color of my shoes,
And the picture gets clearer, with every word you say
Its hard to believe, this happened again
I already met you, I already met you,
You're like my last girlfriend, the ex,
And the the girlfriend I had before her
There's no need to upset you, but I already met you,
You're like my last girlfriend, the ex,
And the girlfriend I had before her
(distorted voice)
She takes your kids, and a house all alone, a ... you drew and a sweet
uncles....
My Dad says you're different, you're the one with whom I should grow
old,
Yeah that's not too convincing while yelling at your dad on my phone,
So I stare out the window, and I find me a smile,
'Cause I still believe, it gets better than this
I already met you, I already met you,
You're like my last girlfriend, the ex,
And the the girlfriend I had before her
There's no need to upset you, but I already met you,
You're like my last girlfriend, the ex,
And the girlfriend I had before her
You're like my last girlfriend, the ex,
And the girlfriend I had before her
And the girlfriend I had before her
And the girlfriend I had before her
And the girlfriend I had before that.
I take you to dinner, you don't eat you just play with your food
Then there's something familiar, about every word you say,
Its hard to believe, this happened again
I already met you, I already met you,
You're like my last girlfriend, the ex,
And the girlfriend I had before her
I take you to my apartment in Venice just south of Beirut,
You tell me you're bored and you don't like the color of my shoes,
And the picture gets clearer, with every word you say
Its hard to believe, this happened again
I already met you, I already met you,
You're like my last girlfriend, the ex,
And the the girlfriend I had before her
There's no need to upset you, but I already met you,
You're like my last girlfriend, the ex,
And the girlfriend I had before her
(distorted voice)
She takes your kids, and a house all alone, a ... you drew and a sweet

My Dad says you're different, you're the one with whom I should grow

Yeah that's not too convincing while yelling at your dad on my phone,
So I stare out the window, and I find me a smile,
'Cause I still believe, it gets better than this
I already met you, I already met you,
You're like my last girlfriend, the ex,
And the the girlfriend I had before her
There's no need to upset you, but I already met you,
You're like my last girlfriend, the ex,
And the girlfriend I had before her
You're like my last girlfriend, the ex,
And the girlfriend I had before her
And the girlfriend I had before her
And the girlfriend I had before her
And the girlfriend I had before that.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
The distorted voice lines are actually '2 point 2 kids, and a house on the hill a dog named Boo and a sweet uncle Phil... fella?'
