This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Not too many things I like to see
Cept my baby dancing up in front of me
She put her red shoes on went ahead and danced the blues
I turn the lights down low and man I'll never lose
I know it's kind of funny but my baby never does this
Only when the music plays
I don't mind cause she's happy and it makes me feel alive when I'm down most of the day
My baby keeps on doing what she's doing cause her moving is what I need tonight
I got the best damn woman and when she moves it's a shock that feels so right so right
Dance Dance Dance
I love to watch her move that body
Dance Dance Dance
I can watch it every day
Dance Dance Dance
I love to watch her move that body
Dance Dance Dance
I can watch it every day
Baby keeps on dancing so I see
I wanna watch my woman dance in front of me
When she gets going it's all she wants to do
Can't stop her if wanna but why when it looks good
I gotta get it going cause I know she's got it flowing
Even when she's on display
And when the needle hits the record all the people wait a second
But the music saves the day
My honey gets rocked with the beat on the box
and her hips move side to side
I'll watch her from the back cause I know she gotta a knack for standing in the spotlight (but I can dig it)
Dance Dance Dance
I love to watch her move that body
Dance Dance Dance
I can watch it every day
Dance Dance Dance
I love to watch her move that body
Dance Dance Dance
I can watch it every day
She living for the back of the beat
I can see it when she moving her feet
If you turn it up a little bit higher
Gonna lose it and I'll start to perspire
I don't mind cause I'm along for the ride
I don't mind cause I'm along for the ride
I like to see her moving up and alive
I get off watching her gets me high
I don't mind cause I'm along for the ride
I don't mind cause I'm along for the ride
I like to watch her move her hips to the side
Watching her gets me high
Dance Dance Dance
I love to watch her move that body
Dance Dance Dance
I can watch it every day
Dance Dance Dance
I love to watch her move that body
Dance Dance Dance
I can watch it every day

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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
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/
Punchline

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
