Turn back on the broken hearted
Some things are just meant to be
I still believe that we got a chance
I still believe that we got a chance to be
Too much is never enough
And too little to never enough
Full speed got me looking out my rear view
I can't go back

Going a hundred in a fifty-five
And I don't know why I'm still alive, but I
Do what I can, but I know I can't take anymore
I still believe in this Rock 'n Roll
And I pray the music gon' save my soul, but
'Til then I still believe
Some things are just meant to be

It's messed up but I got this mission
Drunk again won't remember anyway
She said it's just a game boy
Don't be gone, don't be gone for long
Ten years I been doing this forever
It's all I know baby please don't turn away
I know you don't believe in me
But I do believe in you

Going a hundred in a fifty-five
And I don't know why I'm still alive, but I
Do what I can, but I know I can't take anymore
I still believe in this Rock 'n Roll
And I pray the music gon' save my soul, but
'Til then I still believe
Some things are just meant to be

I'm still falling
Away from here
Away from here
I'm still falling
This winds are falling on
I can't go back
I'm in too deep

Going a hundred in a fifty-five
And I don't know why I'm still alive, but I
Do what I can, but I know I can't take anymore
I still believe in this Rock 'n Roll
And I pray the music gon' save my soul, but
'Til then I still believe
Some things

Going a hundred in a fifty-five
And I don't know why I'm still alive, but I
Do what I can, but I know I can't take anymore
I can't take more baby
I still believe in this Rock 'n Roll
And I pray the music gon' save my soul, but
'Til then I still believe
Some things are just meant to be

I still believe
Some things are just meant to be
I still believe
Some things are just meant to be yeah
I still believe
Some things are just meant to be

    Just heard this today, possibly my new favorite song! I like that it's almost self referencing...being a song and singing "still believe in this rock and roll" and "pray the music gonna save my soul". Awesome.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,

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/
