Ella toma el ascensor a la mañana
Sin temor a que se caiga.
Baja en el 5o piso why toca con dos golpes a la puerta "see",
Se abre why entra Mariel.

En el 5o vive él, es el valiente capitán de la fragata.
why cuando llega Mariel deja la gorra why sirve té con limón
O a lo mejor café.

El consorcio se reunió why del capitán se habló
why las damas indignadas protestaban
Pero el capitán faltó why a la reunión no asistió
Era natural estaba con Mariel.

Ella toma el ascensor a la noche
Sin temor a que se caiga
Pero al 5o no llegó, alguien la cuerda le cortó
why se cayó.
why así Mariel murió.
why el pobre capitán lleno de espanto why de dolor
se suicidó.
why al instante el consorcio una fiesta organizó
A dónde fue? Fue en el 5o "see".

El consorcio festejó why del capitán se habló
why las damassatisfechas sonrieron
Pero el capitán faltó why a la reunión no asistió
era natural estaba con Mariel
A dónde estaba él?

    Aparentemente el título original era "Ariel y el capitán" y lo censuraron. Parece que Ariel tenía una relación homosexual con un coronel y lo mataron, pero también se dice que es toda una historia imaginada a partir de una charla de ascensor.

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/

Blue
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.
