I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Think of me
Think of me fondly
When we've said goodbye
Remember me
Once in awhile
Please promise me you'll try
When you find, that once again you long
To take your heart
He's here, the Phantom of the Opera!
He is with us
It's the ghost
He's here, the Phantom of the Opera!
He's with us, he's a ghost!
Good heavens!
Will you show a little courtesy?
Mademoiselle, please!
These things do happen
Si! These things do happen! Well, until you stop these things happening
This thing does not happen!
Christine Daaé could sing it, sir
The chorus girl?
Let her sing for you, Monsieur
She has been well taught
Think of me
Think of me fondly
When we've said goodbye
Remember me
Once in awhile
Please promise me you'll try
When you find, that once again you long
To take your heart back and be free
If you ever find a moment
Spare a thought for me
We never said our love was ever green
Or as unchanging as the sea
But if you can still remember
Stop and think of me
Think of all the things we've shared and seen
Don't think about the things which might have been
Think of me
Think of me waking, silent and resigned
Imagine me trying too hard to put you from my mind
Recall those days
Look ack on all those times
Think of the things we'll never do
There will never be a day when I won't think of you
Can it be?
Can it be Christine?
Bravo!
What a change!
You're really not a bit the gawkish girl that once you were
She may not remember me
But I remember her
We never said our love was ever green
Or as unchanging as the sea
But please promise me that sometimes
You will think
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Of me
Think of me fondly
When we've said goodbye
Remember me
Once in awhile
Please promise me you'll try
When you find, that once again you long
To take your heart
He's here, the Phantom of the Opera!
He is with us
It's the ghost
He's here, the Phantom of the Opera!
He's with us, he's a ghost!
Good heavens!
Will you show a little courtesy?
Mademoiselle, please!
These things do happen
Si! These things do happen! Well, until you stop these things happening

Of me

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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/

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I'm learing this song on piano right now, it is beautifully written and so fun to play. I absolutely love phantom of the opera .
