it sounds so mean, so mean
but we're using
a broken sound
to break down
this culture machine
when I woke up it was 1970
but baby, baby my lids were so heavy
oh baby please you've got to stop this freeze
you've got to change this change this weather
make everything better
it was 1848 when I cleaned the slate
it was 1915 when I caught my stream
it was 1957 when I split heaven
it was 1964 what a fucking bore
it was 1968 when we fought the state
oh baby, I've had so many dreams
it was 2003 which really, really, really made me
you've got to change this change this weather
stand up get, get, get down
I'm getting down

    besides when marx wrote the communist manifesto, 1848 was the year of revolution, france, germany, and russia all had uprisings.

    1848 when i cleaned the slate, to clean the slate, to start off fresh, from a revolt possibly?

    Communist Manifesto had no influence at all in these revolts and it didnt have much significance until several years after its publication.

    and i think 2003 is just referencing the year that it was when this song was written

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
