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.
I know she says she wants me
I hear it every day
And I know she knows it keeps me
Well there ain't no other way
But she's got a heart must be made of stone
'Cause when I tell her that she'll miss me when I'm gone
She says
"Who said I would?"
She knows it ain't easy for a simple boy like me
She fills me full of loving
Oh, then she sets me free
But she's got a heart must be made of stone
'Cause when I tell her that she'll miss me when I'm gone
She says
"Who said I would, tell me, who said I would?
Who said I would (who said I would), who said I would?"
I'm not the only one but I do fine
I suit her purpose and I'm just her kind
I don't own her and I never could
Don't think I do, don't think I should
"Tell me
Who said I would (who said I would), who said I would?"
But she's got a heart must be made of stone
And when I tell her that she'll miss me when I'm gone
She says
"You're not the only one but you do fine
You suit my purpose and you're just my kind
You don't own me and you never could
Don't think you do, don't think you should"
Who said I would (who said I would)
Now she knows when she calls me
I'll come running every time
And she knows she gets me hot
But she don't know it's her body, not her mind
And she's got a heart must be made of stone
'Cause when I tell her that she'll miss me when I'm gone
She says
"Who said I would, tell me, who said I would
Who said I would, who said I would?"
Who said I would?
Who said I would?
Who said I would?
Who said I would?
I hear it every day
And I know she knows it keeps me
Well there ain't no other way
But she's got a heart must be made of stone
'Cause when I tell her that she'll miss me when I'm gone
She says
"Who said I would?"
She knows it ain't easy for a simple boy like me
She fills me full of loving
Oh, then she sets me free
But she's got a heart must be made of stone
'Cause when I tell her that she'll miss me when I'm gone
She says
"Who said I would, tell me, who said I would?
Who said I would (who said I would), who said I would?"
I'm not the only one but I do fine
I suit her purpose and I'm just her kind
I don't own her and I never could
Don't think I do, don't think I should
"Tell me
Who said I would (who said I would), who said I would?"
But she's got a heart must be made of stone
And when I tell her that she'll miss me when I'm gone
She says
"You're not the only one but you do fine
You suit my purpose and you're just my kind
You don't own me and you never could
Don't think you do, don't think you should"
Who said I would (who said I would)
Now she knows when she calls me
I'll come running every time
And she knows she gets me hot
But she don't know it's her body, not her mind
And she's got a heart must be made of stone
'Cause when I tell her that she'll miss me when I'm gone
She says
"Who said I would, tell me, who said I would
Who said I would, who said I would?"
Who said I would?
Who said I would?
Who said I would?
Who said I would?

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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
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
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.
This song isn't that hard to peg. it about a guy who loves a girl who just uses him. she gets what she needs from him (whether its an ego boost or a temporary cure for loneliness) then leaves him hurt. He know how she is but believes her everytime she comes back and tells him what he needs to hear, cause he actually loves her. so he concludes she must be heartless. I love this song. it describes the past year of my life.
