Odin, Wili und We wandelten am Strande entlang,
bis sie fanden zwei leblose Bäume,
die nicht besaßen Seele noch Verstand, noch Verstand.

Da schufen des Börs Söhne, mächtige Asen zumal,
aus den beiden Stämmen das allererste Menschenpaar.

Allvater schenkte die Seele, der zweite den Sinn
und der dritte gab das Blut zu Beiden hin.
Midgard ward ihr Lebensheim, welches sie bekamen
sowie ein paar Kleider und einen Namen.
Ask und Embla hieß das Menschenpaar,
was von den Göttern erschaffen ward.
Von jenen beiden stammen die Menschen ab,
welche Odin beobachtet von seinem Hochsitz herab,
Hochsitz herab, Hochsitz herab.

Da schufen des Börs Söhne, mächtige Asen zumal,
aus den beiden Stämmen das allererste Menschenpaar.

Allvater schenkte die Seele, der zweite den Sinn
und der dritte gab das Blut zu Beiden hin.
Midgard ward ihr Lebensheim, welches sie bekamen
sowie ein paar Kleider und einen Namen.
Ask und Embla hieß das Menschenpaar,
was von den Göttern erschaffen ward.
Von jenen beiden stammen die Menschen ab,
welche Odin beobachtet von seinem Hochsitz herab,
Hochsitz herab, Hochsitz herab.

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/

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.
