[Keri:]
I miss him more right now, Feeling kinda stuck these days (because of you)
And I'd be on the highway, if only I could leave my place(because of you)
I used to be on top but I aint got nothing better to say(because of you)
I been trying to hide it but its written all over my face(because of you)

So I
(I really thought you were the one, the only one)
I guess that I was wrong
(But it turned out you wasnt it..the opposite)
Of everything I thought

What do you do after love? (after love)
What can you say when its said and done(nothing at all)
Cos u cant fight a heartbreak
And you cant stop your tears from falling down
So what do you do? What do you do?
After love. (Oeww. after love. it hurts so bad)
After Love.

[Diddy:]
I remember first day that I saw her face
The feeling I had sorta felt like my birthday
Beautiful I must say
She was my earthquake
Cute face, nice shape,she made my earth shake
Ima try keep the faith, do it like the church say
She the one for me and I don't care what him or her say
Thought I had a home run
But I'm just at first base
I found out the long run
Just another heart break
So how much can my heart take
You was like air to me
You know I wouldn't leave, I needed you to breath
See life is but a dream
So is love and I believe
If you ever been in love you will know what I mean
So Lord help me please I wanna see the light She keep telling me im wrong but I know im right
I'm trying to ignore cuz' i dont wanna fight
I know I made mistakes
But still I need her in my life

[Keri:]
Tell me how im supposed to heal this open wound
And tell me who would have thought that id be trying to get over you
Im stuck in the moment, of memories of me and you
And I can get over it, but i aint sure if I want to
Because you done made your bed, now u gotta lie in it (you gotta lie in it babe)
Now all the things u said don't mean a thing (dont mean a thing to me now)

I cant believe I gave u one last shot
I let it ride now baby its your stop
Oh so silly...now the jokes on me
It took a while to finally come to my senses

What do you do after love? (what do you do after love..oeew)
What can you say (what can you say) when its said and done
(when its over)
Cos u cant fight a heart break
When you cant stop your tears from falling down
So what do you do? What do you do?
After love. (After Love yea yea)

[Diddy:]
This is what you need to do
Pay attention
Cuz you know who i'm talking to, and I know u listening
I think about you all the time, if not every minute
I promise hurting you was never my intention
Something bout your style, the way that you presented
Every fantasy i ever had you was in it
I apologize for every time that you might've cried
Theres not enough words to describe how I feel inside
Guardian angel sent from the skies
I always knew you would have made a beautiful bride
And that's why
I wish you could of stayed, so much
But I fucked up and went and betrayed your trust
You know theres no more
Dolce and gabbana, Gucci and prada, trips to Nevada
And I admit what you heard is probably true
But out of all these girls the only one i loved was you
I love you

    One of my favorite tracks from Diddy. I'm really loving Keri Hilson right now. I can't wait for her album to come out soon.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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/

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.
