Yeah
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Now touch me, baby
Can't you see that I am not afraid?
What was that promise that you made?
Why won't you tell me what she said?
What was that promise that you made?

Now, I'm gonna love you
'Till the heavens stop the rain
I'm gonna love you
'Till the stars fall from the sky
For you and I

Come on, come on, come on, come on
Now touch me, baby
Can't you see that I am not afraid?
What was that promise that you made?
Why won't you tell me what she said?
What was that promise that you made?

I'm gonna love you
'Till the heaven stop the rain
I'm gonna love you
'Till the stars fall from the sky
For you and I
I'm gonna love you
'Till the heavens stop the rain
I'm gonna love you
'Till the stars fall from the sky
For you and I

    I think it is just a great tune. Plus, Curtis Amy laid down a smoking sax solo. Fucking relax and enjoy it.

    guy: C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon now Touch me, babe. Can't you see that I am not afraid. What was that promise that you made?

    Girl: why won't you tell me what she said?

    Guy: what was that promise that you made?

    Girl: Now I'm gonna love you Till the heavens stop the rain. I'm gonna love you Till the stars fall from the sky For you and I.

    Well, I love that end bit, "Stronger than dirt." shows they had a sense of humor. It is because those last four notes were the same as the four notes from a commercial jingle: Ajax laundry detergent--they showed a white knight riding a white horse, touching people's clothes with his lance, and they become pure white--unless it was the ad for Ajax color--then a white outfit became multi-colored. I wanted to see him touch a bride's dress and for her to clout him over the head! hahha.

    "Stronger than Dirt!" But it works for a love song, too, I guess.

    At the end of the song, Morrison can be heard saying, "Stronger than dirt," which was the slogan of the Ajax household cleaning company, because the last four notes of "Touch Me" were the same as those in an Ajax commercial and as a mocking criticism of Krieger, Densmore, and Manzarek wanting to accept an offer from Buick to use "Light My Fire" in a commercial. The deal was aborted when Morrison opposed. This vocal was omitted on the single version which was a different mix.

    "Stronger than dirt" was added because the boys, unbeknownst to Jim, had already gone ahead with a Buick campaign using "Light My Fire" as the song for their ad -

    "Come on, Buick, light my fire".

    The ad was filmed and may have been shown in Florida a few times but when Jim found out about it he hit the roof, and called up Buick himself, stating over the phone that if they went ahead with the campaign he would get a buick and beat the crap out it with a sledgehammer on national television!

    I'm a 16 year old door fan, and this is my favorite song. I have no idea why nobody is commenting on it. I thought that by now even my grandparents's comment would be up by now! C'mon people, the stars should "fall from the sky" before a 16 year old beats you to this song!

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
