I think I caught a glimpse of a life without friends
Bitter, empty, hollow, dark and lonely
We never meant to hurt each other so can't we trust again
And take it as a chance to keep on growing

Well, I don't know why it doesn't come easy
But I know that we could be happy
If we?d only learn to love

Oh, oh, we need each other so what's the fighting for
Oh, oh, we need each other, please don't close the door
Oh, oh, we need each other through all the highs and lows
Oh, oh, we need each other 'cause no one?s meant to be alone

Life revolves around the need of having someone
Causing every complicated feeling
Oh and I don't want to lose you so there is nothing wrong with
Telling me what you need to keep our love strong

Oh, it?s just a part of being a family
Taking the good with the bad and the ugly
If we could only learn to love

Oh, oh, we need each other so what's the fighting for
Oh, oh, we need each other, please don't close the door
Oh, oh, we need each other through all the highs and lows
Oh, oh, we need each other and I don't wanna be alone

Oh, oh we need each other, fathers and mothers
Oh, oh we need each other, all your sisters and brothers
Oh, oh we need each other, we need friends and lovers
Oh, oh we need each other

I need you, you need me
'Cause that's the way it?s meant to be
I need you, we need each other
I don't want to be alone

I need you, you need me
'Cause that's the way it?s gotta be
I need you, we need each other
I don't want to be alone

    This is one of my favorite songs of all time. It's about how even though we're just some earth and dirt, God loves us more than anything. The certain sign of grace truly is that God makes our dirt beautiful. :)

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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
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/
