And when I have some words
This is the way I'll sing
To a distortion box
To make the music sing

then, I'm gonna have to write a chorus
Gonna need to have a chorus
And this seems to be as good as any other place to sing it till I'm blue in the face, yeah, were gonna need to have a chorus, gonna have to write a chorus, and this seems to be as good as any other place to sing it till I'm blue in the face.

Happy with what you have to be happy with to be happy with what you have you have to be happy with what you have, happy with what you have to be happy with you have to be happy with what you have, to be happy with what you have, you have to be happy with what you have to be happy wiiith

    I find it astonishing that Elektrik is not included with the list of songs. But any ways, at first I was thinking "wow what an absolute piece of shit song." But when I actually listened, it made more sense. Not my favorite song at all, but the middle bit I feel they couldn't have defined ambiguity any better, "To be happy with what you have? you have to be happy with what you have to be happy with." Most of the music today, is just people that are writing these terrible distorted, automatic, robotic verses, tedious pop songs of repetitive themes, empty political movements, and anti war protests that have no more meaning or value to you or me, other than for the mainstream audience to give them money to fuel their big hair, big heads, and make-up kits. If they actually created a good song or heard one, their heads would just explode. Then again that is just my opinion. Although the head exploding part is actually proven and factual.

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/

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
