I know that other guys don’t need to feel rich, but I do. That’s why I chose to spend my life doing this, because I knew... We’ve got something here inside that others just imagine they can buy. Make it a date, tell me when and I’ll say... I’ll love you ever and after. Let’s both run away, we’ll find a place to live where we’ll stay. I’ll love you ever and after. A love can make disaster fade away. And if time tries to hurt you it just won’t get to. I will protect you and keep you beautiful. Run away, just come with me. Let’s hurry off quickly, so we’re still young because we’ve got something here that other people envy... Other people fear, but maybe you’re OK without a place to go. Well, I don’t know. I don’t need their double standards, all I need is you, and I’ll get through, because sitting here, without a cent, I feel rich next to you.

    A little corny. Actually a lot corny."Our love can make disaster fade away." I mean, it's sweet and all, but it all seems like bull. Ronnie Day was what-16?-when he wrote this. I'm sorry, but I just don't feel like he would ever in any way be able to honestly feel the emotions he so uncreatively expresses in this song. Just to show you what kind of "target audience" this song has-look at the scholar who posted above me. Well, Alex K., first of all, you spelled awesome and people wrong. Maybe once you get out of Middle School you'll see that.

    Sydney Is Rad, music is music. People shouldn't feel bad because they like a song. I personally enjoy this song. It's not meant to be deep and unique. It's meant to sound nice.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
