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”
somebody lost the plan
this tattered contract cracked and inked in someone else's hand
endings as they began
a feeling comes and goes but it never stays enough to have
a small home
or golden ring
so hard to find
simple things
but i saw every moment make a ripple in that thickened air
so chalk up one more loss to fate or one more crime to running scared
got my head in the clouds
more like smoke in my eyes
cause we're all trying to just get by
get some fruit off the tree
if a bite's worth the price
cause we're all trying to just get by
alive
slept in a bed of wine
a couple pills left on the bedstand helped to pass some time
but I never dream at night
every moment lost just adds up and ends up your life
so I thought
I'd wait it out
but some things
stick around
like every time we drove the coast or spent a sunny day inside
now all I do is up the dose cause it works a little less each time
got my head in the clouds
more like smoke in my eyes
cause we're all trying to just get by
get some fruit off the tree
if a bite's worth the price
cause we're all trying to just get by
alive
does this mean the worst is over?
does this mean the worst is over?
does this mean the worst is over?
does this mean the worst is over?

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
