(Due to the marvels of scientific advance
My voice is coming to you from a satellite
Circling in outer space
Through this unique means I convey to you and all of mankind
America's wish for peace on Earth)

I held my head as I left the ground
The belts grew tight as the blast grew loud
A loving wish whispered in my ear
Please leave with grace, all the best my dear
Yeah it's like
I held your hand as I pulled you in
Your lips sealed tight ready to begin
I kissed you first then you kissed my hair
If I ask you once, will you ask me every year?

Do you feel alive? (Imagine, imagine)
Do you feel alive? (Imagine, imagine)

The sun is set in the night time sky
The stars they cast a glow upon my eyes
The earth itself a burning ball of light
Yeah it's like
When our first love was ignited late that night

Do you feel alive? (Imagine, imagine)
Do you feel alive? (Imagine, imagine)

The stars in your eyes light up the sky
With thoughts light and fire and sound
The stars in your eyes light up the sky
With thoughts light and fire and sound
The stars in your eyes light up the sky (do you feel)
With thoughts light and fire and sound (alive?) (Imagine, imagine)
The stars in your eyes light up the sky (do you feel)
With thoughts light and fire and sound (alive?) (Imagine, imagine)
The stars in your eyes light up the sky (do you feel)
With thoughts light and fire and sound (alive?) (Imagine, imagine)
The stars in your eyes light up the sky (do you feel)
With thoughts light and fire and sound (alive?) (Imagine, imagine)

    I think between the speech of Eisenhower, someone speaks in Russian, but I think that beside the numbers. It says something like: Я тебя прошла хорошие девочка. Я тебя должен....

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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/
