Through my eyes
I have seen the world start spinning like a ball
Stars light up and then fall for you
So then what's a man like me supposed to do?
If I gave you the moon, would you notice
That I'm right beside you?

Well, now a thousand days and thousand nights are not enough
'Cause I can't hold back the way I feel about my love
Won't let it go, won't let it go

And if the angels came, I'd fight them back to win your soul
And when everything was said and done
They'd go back home
And they ought to know, they ought to know
That you're mine, all mine

In my world
You're the sun that shines and lights up the evening skies
Clearing up the horizon, hold on
Come with me, and I will never let you down
Oh, and in this love we'll drown, this I promise you
'Cause they can't hold us down

Well, now a thousand days and thousand nights are not enough
'Cause I can't hold back the way I feel about my love
Won't let it go, won't let it go

And if the angels came, I'd fight them back to win your soul
And when everything was said and done, they'd go back home
And they ought to know, they ought to know
That you're mine all mine

I would do anything, just believe it
Your love means everything, and I need it
Your heart won't lie
Reach out for me

Well, now a thousand days and thousand nights are not enough
'Cause I can't hold back the way I feel about my love
Won't let it go, won't let it go
'Cause you're mine, all mine

And if the angels came, I'd fight them back to win your soul
And when everything was said and done, they'd go back home
They ought to know, they ought to know
That you're mine, all mine

    I absolutely love this song. 'They', whether it's Clay, or whoever, are telling the total love of their life that they want nothing more than to be with for always and eternity, that "1000 days, 1000 nights are not enough". They will let nobody hurt them or take them from them. I love Clay, whenever I'm sad or mad I put his CD's on and I'm instantly happy. His voice is so down right amazing, that it does that to me.

I Can't Go To Sleep
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
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/

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.
