I was nurtured
I was sheltered,
I was curious and young.
I was searchin' for that something,
Tryin' to find it on the run.
Oh and just when I stopped lookin',
I saw just how far I'd come.
In this life
In this life

You give me love,
You give me light,
Show me everythings been happenin',
I've opened up my eyes,
I'm followin'
3 steps fight an honest fight, (oh)
2 hearts, they can start a fire, (yeah yeah)
1 love is all I need in this life (oh)

Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
In this life

I have faltered
I have stumbled,
I have found my feet again.
I've been angry,
And I've been shaken,
Found a new place to begin.
And my persistence to make a difference,
Has led me safe into your hands.
In this life
In this life

You give me love,
You give me light,
Show me everythings been happenin',
I've opened up my eyes,
I'm followin'
3 steps fight an honest fight, (oh)
2 hearts, they can start a fire, (yeah yeah)
1 love is all I need in this life (oh)


In this life
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah

I was put here for a reason,
I was born into this world.
And I'm living, and I'm believing
That I was meant to be your girl

In this life
In this life

You give me love,
You give me light,
Show me everythings been happenin',
I've opened up my eyes,
I'm followin'
3 steps fight an honest fight, (oh)
2 hearts, they can start a fire, (yeah yeah)
1 love is all I need in this life (oh)

3 steps fight an honest fight (oh)
2 hearts, they can start a fire (yeah yeah)
1 love is all I need
In this life (oh)

Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
In this life
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
In this life

In this life
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah

    metoyou - it's our opinion and her image goes along with everything she does, so if we want to discuss it we will. Besides if you'd read what I wrote, I said the lyrics were weak to the song. That's song discussion.

    And you aren't a Delta fan anyway so what does it matter to you?

    Amanda- yeah, exactly... apparently Delta is whatever her record label feels like she should be. :( Image in 2001 was very Britney Spears. Her song What Kind Of Girl sounds sooo much like Britney! Yikes. If she'd been successful with I Don't Care who knows what her music would sound like now?

    Besides, she won't sing In This Life on TV shows. She uses the media talking about her new image to promote her album!! Everyone noticed that, even her fanboard.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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,

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.
