Some Kind of Wonderful

Joss Stone

I don't need a whole lotta money
I don't need a big, fine car
I got everything that a girl could want
I got more than I could ask for
I don't have to run around
I don't have to stay out all night
Cause I got a sweet, sweet loving man
And he knows just how to treat me right
See, my baby, he's alright
See, my baby, we're so tight

Don't you know he is some kind of wonderful
Yes, he is
He's some kind of wonderful
Don't you know he is some kind of wonderful

Let me tell you one more thing
Now, when he holds me in his arms
He sets my soul on fire
And, ooh, when my baby kisses me,
My heart becomes filled with desire
When he wraps his loving arms around me
He almost drives me out of my mind
I get these funny little feelings inside of me
Chills run up and down my spine

My baby, he's alright
Me and my baby we're so tight

Don't you know he is some kind of wonderful
Yes he is
Some kinda wonderful
He is some kind of wonderful

Now, hold on, let me know just one more thing
Is there anyone out there with a sweet loving man like mine?
There's got to be somebody with a sweet, loving man like mine
Now, tell me ladies
Can I get a witness
Can I get a witness up in here, Ladies?
Can I get a witness
Can I get a witness
Can I get a witness
Do you know what I'm talking about, Ladies, are you listening?
Can I get a witness

Wonderful
Some kinda wonderful
Don't you know he is
Some kind of wonderful
Don't you know he is
Some kind of wonderful
Don't you know he is
Some kind of wonderful
(He's some kind of wonderful,
Yes, he is)
Don't you know he is
Some kind of wonderful
Don't you know he is
Some kind of wonderful
Don't you know he is
Some kind of wonderful
Don't you know he is
Some kind of wonderful
Don't you know he is
Some kind of wonderful
Don't you know he's some kind of wonderful

Don't you know he is
I'm talking bout my baby, yeah

    This song in itself isn't bad but as a cover...

    ...she kinda ruined it.

    I like how it's switched from "she" to "he" though. Just wish the song was more like the original.

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.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Magical
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.

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.
