Spring has broken full of thunder
But still the sun is in it's slumber
As you wake
You carry _____ through a downpoor
In fields of mines and hurricanes and heart winds
To keep this fire ablaze

No one's ever sorry till the bitter end
I've tried and I ran
Now you know me
As no man

Your broken water and your monsoon rain
Then looked to find me but I hide and turn my face
and words that came so natural
But it's become unnatural
That we cling to this dying thing

Now I'm only sorry at the bitter end
I tried and I ran
Now you know me
As no man

You carried _____ through a downpoor
In fields of mines and hurricanes and heart winds
To keep this fire ablaze

Now we're only sorry at this bitterest end

I tried and I ran
Now you know me
As no man

And I tried and I ran
Now you know me
As no man

    This song is about dying love. I think it's sad songwise and because they didn't put this on the new cd. I think it's one of the best songs they've ever done.

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/
