Need to get in the zone man...
Look...

Read my lyrics like a rap book, I rap good
My older brothers said move smart, don't act hood
The irony is my juvenile days were backwards
Broke lads outside Ladbrokes, it's funny init

Self reflections got me deepin' how my life's changed
I smile and sigh at the same time, it's quite strange
Don't get me wrong I know that I'm in better position
Just never knew I'll lose so many people on this mission
But Gods got me, I don't stress it, it's apart of the plan I get it
If I lose faith now I might as well never said it...
See I told her that I'm leaving it was time to go, even tho I really loved her, it just wasn't whole
Intimacy's a sacred bond, see it ties the soul
But you weren't mine to sew, forgive me please I should of known
Consequences of our actions deeper than we know
A life of sin, let a little in, it ruins the loaf

I'm still praying for that daily bread
It's too important man that I'm staying fed
That's a revelation to my genesis
One of my brothers was an Atheist
He read the Word and see it's change him since, my God exist
And see that's nonsense to an unbeliever
But pree the life and see the difference, I say thank you Jesus
Thought there was nothing wrong with clubbing, started seeing demons
It's not that deep Shadey, please believe it
Hold up, wait you believe it

I'm still shining tho, they underrate me that's a minor tho
It's only cos of God I'm writing bro
Imagine Shadey going diamond tho
That's 10 million copies, I prophesy it, that ain't impossible
Just pray for me, cos I need it man
And I'm a public figure now, and that ain't easy man
I gotta practice what I preach, a stumbling block I'll never be
I'll never compromise for nothing, I only rap what I believe
So you can keep your fame, and you can keep that money to, cos I don't need that change
I only need His grace...
They kill themselves all over money can't spend in their graves
And now they looking in the mirror and they don't seem the same, what happened to yah

I'm Still Shining tho
Never would think this is how life would go
So pick your head up man and try some hope
This project is for all my people that inspire to grow
Thank you for listening, alright lets go

Shadey

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
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"

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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/
