Summer Sunshine

The Corrs

I feel it's changing, I stay the same
I'm... a solo cello outside a chor-us
I've got a secret,
It's time for me to tell that you've been keeping me warm

Just sweet beginnings and bitter en-dings
In coffee city, we borrowed hea-ven
Don't give it back, I've never felt so wanted
Are you taking me home?

You tell me you have to go...

[Chorus]
In the heat of summer sunshine
I miss you like nobody else
In the heat of summer sunshine
I kiss you, and nobody needs to know

Now that you've left me, there's no retur-ning
I keep comparing, you're always win-ning
I try to be strong but you'll never be more wanted
Will you make me at home?

Don't tell me you have to go...

[Chorus]

Ya da... ya da... ya da
To sweet beginnings and bitter en-dings
In coffee city, we borrowed hea-ven
Don't give it back
Winter is coming and I need to stay warm

The heat...

[Chorus: x 2]

    I think this song is about people who have been liking each other for a while but too afraid to tell each other. I’ve got a secret, It’s time for me to tell that you’ve been keeping me warm She's gonna tell him how she feels So anyways, they're in love until he has to go away ( or maybe they're breaking up?) but i interpret it as him moving and she misses him like no one else and they've kissed but they aren't a kiss and tell kind of couple. i kinda went through the same thing with this on boy except it was me that had to move and i miss him alot.

    I'm really not sure what this is about, it seems like it could be an affair she had (you;ve been keeping me warm) but I love this song, I can relate to a lot of it. "everyone's changing, I stay the same... I'm the solo cello, outside the chorus..." I can definetely relate to that, also to "In the heat of summer sunshine I miss you like nobody else" Absolutely amazing song. Great for cheering up as well...

Sunglasses at Night
Corey Hart
In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.

Indigo
Of Mice & Men
This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”
