I whisper in your ear
The words you want to hear
You fell the wind and it reminds you
It happens every time
You stop and close your eyes
You can't deny what lives inside you
Well I know it's all to see
What is meant to be
When yesterday's so far behind you

Deep inside your soul though
I'm always there

You made be believe
The day you surrendered to me
The memory will never die
The love that you gave
I'll never throw it away
The memory will never die


The tides take a turn
Another lesson learned
I'm right here but still you wonder
But you say you need more
And it's not what it was before
Your on your own and going under

Deep inside your soul though
I'm always there

You made be believe
The day you surrendered to me
The memory will never die
The love that you gave
I'll never throw it away
The memory will never die

Whenever you wake up
Remember you gave up
All that you had from nothing at all
The bed that you lay in
Remember you made it
And nobody's there to catch you when you fall

You made be believe
The day you surrendered to me
The memory will never die

The love that you gave
I'll never throw it away
The memory will never die
You made me believe
The day you surrendered to me
The memory will never die
The love that you gave
I'll never throw it away
The memory will never die

    A song about a guy that gave a girl everything she wanted (I whisper in your ear the words you want to hear)

    and she finally caved in and reciprocated and showed him love back (You made be believe the day you surrendered to me the memory will never die the love that you gave I'll never throw it away the memory will never die)

    but didn't stay with him and gave up on them, (whenever you wake up remember you gave up)

    But he is haunting her memories (Deep inside your soul though I'm always there)

    then he is saying you reap what you sow (The bed that you lay in remember you made it)

    and then he left her and / or moved on (And nobody's there to catch you when you fall)

    I listened to this song alot around when I graduated high school last year. it helped me remember the many great memories I had with my friends over the years. I think though its about a couple having to leave each other most likely for reasons beyond their control and trying not to forget the good times they had. I don't think it is referring to a break up because it sounds like he would not necessarily want to leave the relationship.

    I heard this song last spring, a month before I moved to another city. It was the best spring of my life so far and even though lots of great things happened, I was always thinking about how hard it would be to move and leave all my friends.

    This song reminds me, that even if I'm far away from my true friends the memories of all the fun we had together will never die! But there always is something negative. The memories can be a plague, espescially the happy ones...

    When I feel like sh*t, this song can cheer me up and next time it will bring me down, because I can't let go all the beautiful people and I hate the new town I live in...

    I actually think this is a negative song. I think it's about a man and a woman. When they get together she tells him that their memories will never die and they'll always be a part of each other. This turns out to be true but in a bad way, as her memories of such wonderful times gives her a constant reminder of what she gave up. He's always a part of her so she can never forget what she's lost. "Whenever you wake up Remember you gave up All that you had for nothing at all The bed that you lay in Remember you made it And nobody’s there to catch you when you fall" This reflects my view.

    I think this is a song about regrets.The person's significant other broke up with them so it's more or less about how they are saying they are gonna be missing them.

    'Whenever you wake up Remember you gave up All that you had from nothing at all The bed that you lay in Remember you made it And nobody’s there to catch you when you fall' so they are saying you lost me, I may not be happy with it but neither will you when the time comes when you need me the most. Totally relatable for my past relationship. I will never forget all we went through but he's gonna miss me later on.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
