Travel On

so here we are again
sleeping on the bridges in the rain
under the new sky again
i hear the rumble of the train
another city to refuse
another bout of those hopeless wandering blues

you know we've still got one more chance to lose

do what's true, true to you
don't let the world tell you what to do
there's no wrong, travel on
do what's true, true to you

another corner and it's gone
but I still got a beat up guitar to play my songs
silence here is tried & true
only falsehoods would a verbal message do
and i've got nothing left to say
one hesitation would be to waste the day
onward, onward to futures
sunny & stray

do what's true, true to you
don't let the world tell you what to do
there's no wrong, travel on
do what's true, true to you

the global money market race
upon earth it brings it's own disgrace
and we stand laughing in it's face
pledging defiance to the cutthroats & the haste
with little more to survive
as we turn our paths to the side
for those that will not walk along
the road we have only pride..
outside....

so do what's true, true to you
don't let the world tell you what to do
there's no wrong, travel on
do what's true, true to you

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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
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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
