@[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.
And that your heart will lead you to the only one
It is a curse, it's the hammer that will break ya
It's a poison hidden in a bon-bon
Don't you know love is stronger than Jesus
Don't you know love can kill anyone
Bring it on, wars and diseases
You know that love can do you like a shotgun
Can't resist them, the sailors and the soldiers
Taking aim, a rabbit on a rifle-range
Pay no mind to what your mama told ya
You're the fool who's chasing down the candy-cane
It's a riddle how lovers can stay alive
That we bloom and breed and multiply
Don't you know love is stronger than Jesus
Don't you know love can kill anyone
So bring it on, wars and diseases
You know that love can do you like a shotgun
Oh, oh no
Oh, oh no
See the people heading for disaster
Standing in line, just looking for a little fun
Love is a fire, a hot hot blaster
And we're the belgians burning in the Congo sun
We're believers trusting strangers
Any monkey looking like a saviour
It's a riddle how
We're still living now
Oh how little we know, oh
Don't you know love is stronger than Jesus
Don't you know love can kill anyone
So bring it on, wars and diseases
You know that love can do you like a shotgun
Don't you know love is stronger than Jesus
Don't you know love can kill anyone
Bring it on, wars and diseases
You know love can do you like a shotgun
Oh, oh no
Oh, oh no!
It is a curse, it's the hammer that will break ya
It's a poison hidden in a bon-bon
Don't you know love is stronger than Jesus
Don't you know love can kill anyone
Bring it on, wars and diseases
You know that love can do you like a shotgun
Can't resist them, the sailors and the soldiers
Taking aim, a rabbit on a rifle-range
Pay no mind to what your mama told ya
You're the fool who's chasing down the candy-cane
It's a riddle how lovers can stay alive
That we bloom and breed and multiply
Don't you know love is stronger than Jesus
Don't you know love can kill anyone
So bring it on, wars and diseases
You know that love can do you like a shotgun
Oh, oh no
Oh, oh no
See the people heading for disaster
Standing in line, just looking for a little fun
Love is a fire, a hot hot blaster
And we're the belgians burning in the Congo sun
We're believers trusting strangers
Any monkey looking like a saviour
It's a riddle how
We're still living now
Oh how little we know, oh
Don't you know love is stronger than Jesus
Don't you know love can kill anyone
So bring it on, wars and diseases
You know that love can do you like a shotgun
Don't you know love is stronger than Jesus
Don't you know love can kill anyone
Bring it on, wars and diseases
You know love can do you like a shotgun
Oh, oh no
Oh, oh no!

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I cant believe no one has posted a comment on this yet. This song is potent on so many levels..
But the obvious meaning is that we put to much trust and emphasis on love when it really is simply an emotion. The irony of love is that even though its considered a human emotion, it consequently controls almost everything in the world. You cant completely trust love, and think that it will automatically bring you to peace and happiness. "Who told you love is the Alpha and Omega And that you're heart will lead you to the only one". because look how much damage it has done through history "Don't you know love can kill anyone Bring it on, wars and diseases".
Love can be our salvation, while simultaneously becoming our downfall "See the people heading for disaster Standing in line just looking for a little fun"
Lastly, Love is stronger than jesus because according to christian belief he died for our sins out of his love for us. But if jesus can die for love and we still do not stop killing, stealing, and decieving others and ourselves. Than love has defeated us all, even jesus, who it would seem died for nothing if we cannot pull ourselves together and find a better life.
Any one care to argue or have another opinion, Please POST
very well said.<br /> <br /> One can also consider that love is not only a noun but also a verb. "To love" is not simply to carry the emotion of "love" but to act accordingly. You can't control your emotions but your actions. That means it's every individuals choice to choose love, sometimes without the emotion.<br /> <br /> Love in this sense is like a two-edged sword. If you simply follow the emotion of love, it can lead you to destruction and harm. It might be about this that song this is about.<br />
Thanks for that alternate explanation.<br /> I love it, <br /> It makes a lot of sense..<br /> Specially<br /> " you cant control your emotions, but you can control your actions"
