This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Kaltes Herz
Eiskaltes Licht
Kalter Glanz
Eisgesicht
Kalte Lust
Kalte Seele
Gottes Hand
an der kehle
Auf die Knie
Hut ab zum Gebet
Das Gesicht in den Staub
so tief es nur geht
Ich vergieße mein Blut
für dich
mein Herz
für dich
Heißer Tau
auf weißer Haut
Kalte Frau
ausgesaugt
Kaltes Kreuz
Mach mich gesund
Kalter Wein
aus deinem Mund
Dies ist mein Leib
der hinweg nimmt
die Sünden der Welt
Dies ist mein Blut
das dich für alle Zeit
von der Unschuld befreit

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Somewhere Only We Know
Keane
Keane
Per the FAQ on Keane's website, Keane's drummer Richard Hughes, stated the following:
"We've been asked whether "Somewhere Only We Know" is about a specific place, and Tim has been saying that, for him, or us as individuals, it might be about a geographical space, or a feeling; it can mean something individual to each person, and they can interpret it to a memory of theirs... It's perhaps more of a theme rather than a specific message... Feelings that may be universal, without necessarily being totally specific to us, or a place, or a time..."
With the nostalgic sentiment and the overall tone of the song, I think Keane is attempting to express a Portuguese term known as 'saudade', which does not have a direct English translation but roughly means "that which we remember because it is gone."
Cold heart Ice-cold light Cold sparkle Ice-face Cold desire Cold soul God's hand on your throat
On your knees Hat off for prayer Face in the dust as deep as you can
I spill my blood for you my heart for you
Hot dew on white skin Cold woman sucked dry Cold cross Make me healthy Cold wine from your mouth
This is my body that takes away the sins of the world This is my blood that frees you for all time from innocence
this song is awesome. very easy to understand too. yey.
I was just wondering, does anybody know what the musical element before they sing is called? Sounds like a monk chanting, I suppose.
I love this song =)
They're using Gregorian chant throughout the song... very unique and it makes the song that much more appealing.
The song might be talking about a woman who loves God blindly, or she loves God more than her lover, who would give his life for her... maybe she's some kind of religious fanatic.
The choice of which chant to use might be meaningful. They chose the Kyrie which is in Greek and is part of the Catholic mass but generally sung or said in English now.
The chant is "Kýrie eléison; Christé eléison; Kýrie eléison."
In English it means: Lord, have mercy; Christ, have mercy; Lord, have mercy.
The chanting is from "missa lux et origo - kyrie" and sounds very similar to the "The Benedictine Monks Of Santo Domingo De Silos"
