The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Heysátan
Höfðum þau hallí ró
En ég sló
Ég sló tún
Ég hef slegið fjandans nóg
En ég sló
Heysátan
Þá fer að fjúka út
Út í mó.. (ég dró)
Heyvagn á massey ferguson
Því hann gaf undan
Og mér fótur rann... andskotann
Ég varð undan
Og nú hvíli hér
Með beyglað der
Og sáttur halla nú höfði hér
Höfðum þau hallí ró
En ég sló
Ég sló tún
Ég hef slegið fjandans nóg
En ég sló
Heysátan
Þá fer að fjúka út
Út í mó.. (ég dró)
Heyvagn á massey ferguson
Því hann gaf undan
Og mér fótur rann... andskotann
Ég varð undan
Og nú hvíli hér
Með beyglað der
Og sáttur halla nú höfði hér

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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/
In an interview, Kjartan said that after writing the song, they discussed what they though it meant, and all came to the same conclusion. Coming from the band it's basically the story of an old man looking contentedly out over his fields and land, knowing he's going to die soon. He knows he will die, but accepts it's inevitability and has no fear or regret.
As the last line says, he lolls his head, content. Such a fitting ending to an album, the calm death of an old man who is happy with the long life he has lived.
this song clearly establishes sigur ros's allegiance to lucifer. just look at the title! "hey, satan! what's up buddy?" like it's no big deal. i love this band a little more with every album.
@sadmachine Heysátan means haystack...
@sadmachine No, it doesn't. It clearly means "Hey Satan" or, as we say in Spanish "Oye, Cachudo".
Damnit! We need a delete message option. Sorry about the obsessive posting.
@blackled222 We won't forgive. I don't know who you are but I will find you and I will post obsessively in your Facebook page.
the stack of hay had them all calm but I mowed i mowed fields i have mowed fucking enough but i moved the stack of hay then begins to blow out the door out into the field (i dragged) a wagon of hey on a massey ferguson 'cause he gave in and i slipped... fuck i was first and now rest here with a folded cap and now loll my head here, content
Ive been trying to learn Icelandic lately, and one thing to keep in mind is because its a different language, many words have the same general meanings but not so much specific meanings. Icelandic doesnt have a heavy list of vulgar words like English. It's basically saying this old farmer was dragging some hay and he slipped, and its like saying Goddamnit, or just damn, or even darnit. Its just a word to describe a general frustration. It doesnt directly translate into fuck, but because so many people in our society use "fuck" so freely and lightly like when you slip and fall, or stub your toe or whatever, in that sense it has a similar use to andskotann in Icelandic.
Uhh... okay? Anyway, wonderful song and my favorite on Takk... It's like a lullaby.
i just saw sigur ros last night in cleveland, and the sheer strength of this song in particular amazed me. it was absolutely beautiful, even more so live than on the cd.
the simplicity of this song astounds me every time. Its not loud, its not too soft, its not fast or slow. Its just plain music, beautiful.
I fall asleep to it often =) its on the CD my big brother made for me a while ago
lol only in a foreign language could the line "and I slipped...fuck" be so well hidden in such a beautiful track.
