Silly girl, I think I've got a thing for you
From late nights, by driving in this stolen car
The years we wasted living in this desert town
Haven't broken up so far
Hot afterno.ons we climb on to the neighbor's house
Think deep, and jumped into a radiant sky
Our barefeet were framed on the horizon
I felt the future in your eyes

It was the promise of summer
We sealed it with a kiss
This time I'll do things proper
How did it get to this?

Dear you, tonight lets get ahead of ourselves
Plus now, I barely can remember
Yesterday stretched on for so long
Tomorrow feels like forever

My God, you know how much I needed this
These days are filled with such disaster
Sometimes I think that life will never be the same
Sometimes I think that's an answer

And she said
Here comes the promise of summer
Let's seal it with a kiss
This time I'll do things proper
How did we get to this?
Here comes the promise of summer
We’ll seal it with a kiss
This time I'll do things proper
How did we get to this?


Here comes the promise of summer
Let's seal it with a kiss
This time I'll do things proper
How did we get to this?
Here comes the promise of summer
We’ll seal it with a kiss
This time I'll do things proper
How did we get to this?

Here comes the promise of summer
(We'll seal it with a kiss)
(We'll seal it with a kiss)
(We'll seal it with a kiss)
Here comes the promise of summer
How did it get to this?

Mountain Song
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
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.
