Follow My Heart

Seldom

i should've told you
i didn't want you to leave
but we don't operate like that
sometimes, it's love
and other times, it's hate
sometimes, it's don't call me again

i may seem aimless but i
follow my heart
follow my heart
i follow mine

you should've seen
it's hard for me to breathe
but we don't operate like that
sometimes, it's love
and other times, it's hate
sometimes, you're hard to please

i may seem aimless but i
follow my heart
follow my heart
i follow mine

you're trying to stop a moving car
you're trying to stop a growing tree
you're trying to stop a shooting star
you're trying to stop me
i hope you don't succeed
cos it's nice to have some room
to breathe

i may seem aimless but i
follow my heart
follow my heart
i follow mine

    Sometimes when you're in a relationship you can't understand how the other person can be so irrational. You do your best to get them to conform to your logic, but I think Yuuki's right, people need to follow their hearts. Logical thinking isn't always the best modus operandi.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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/

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.
