This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Go on parade and fade
Hit the scene and slow
Spending all your time with some girl
You'll never get to know
Wound up tight
Dressed all in white
Some torn main sail
Blowing out to drift
Leave you even if
You live up in your head
Scared of every little noise
Someone's always breaking in accidentally
Using nothing but their voice
Shrill and small
Echo down the hall
Repeating pet names
See it in your eyes
You're only passing by
Go by, go by
Go by, go by
Someone's in the way
Of pretty words and inside slurs
All the things they have to say to perform
The work that they've rehearsed
It's a waste of time
I'd put it behind me once and for all
And let the hype decline
If the problem wasn't mine
Go by, go by
Go by, go by
Go by, go by
Go by, go by
Hit the scene and slow
Spending all your time with some girl
You'll never get to know
Wound up tight
Dressed all in white
Some torn main sail
Blowing out to drift
Leave you even if
You live up in your head
Scared of every little noise
Someone's always breaking in accidentally
Using nothing but their voice
Shrill and small
Echo down the hall
Repeating pet names
See it in your eyes
You're only passing by
Go by, go by
Go by, go by
Someone's in the way
Of pretty words and inside slurs
All the things they have to say to perform
The work that they've rehearsed
It's a waste of time
I'd put it behind me once and for all
And let the hype decline
If the problem wasn't mine
Go by, go by
Go by, go by
Go by, go by
Go by, go by

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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I wish people would get their facts straight before posting.
The new moon version of this song was originally recorded in 1996 and the live version is from 1999, Elliott was a perfectionist and often would alter his lyrics until he felt they were right thus we have different lyrics for the same song. This song was originally titled two timed and only recently (after new moon release) the demo has leaked.
Knowing that he performed this in 1999 one could surmise that theres a demo recorded in this period that was in contention for figure 8.
