These Things Move In Threes

Mumm-ra

Moving on
I can see
These things moving
Please
One down, and I'm on my knees
So please don't take this away from me
I hope that you know that the world is still spinning around
I hope that you don't let the weight of it all get you down
It's just to say
I'm on my way

My head is filled with disease
At least my body is free
Of black cans, tempting the devil in me
And walking these streets by the sea
I hope that you know that the world is still spinning around
I hope that you don't let the weight of it all get you down
It's just to say
I'm on my way

The last time I came around
I saw you
You never looked so proud
Looking back, I wish I was there now
Talking about some girl
How she'd ruined my life somehow
How she'd ruined my life somehow

    the first song i heard by them, its awesome. Saw them at Reading last year, V this year... they're about 5 times as good live, and the albums awesome lol.

    I think its about moving on from a relationship, but possibly he's over it, but shes not, even though it was her that ended it. Not sure though

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

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/

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
