This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Never was a navy brat, but my father was, yeah
He warned me not to make friends with weather.
My love rests in a shipwreck.
With a compass in his head.
I'll wait for him,
Like vultures wait for bodies.
Please send the wind out,
I hear his voice now,
At the bottom of the blue.
I'll get my coat,
It'll be the second coming outside,
When I return with you.
I'm a ship like you.
One sail.
One sea.
You and me.
And I left my soul next to the shore.
One sail.
One sea.
Wait with my face in sun.
That makes me look less young.
I miss your half Irish grin,
And our love is growing upside down.
They say you'll never make it home!
But I will wait,
Won't bury your clothes.
Please send the wind out, and bring him back now,
Because he is to me my life.
Think about sinking down.
Think about all of it.
Think his face drowning out.
I think of it all
He warned me not to make friends with weather.
My love rests in a shipwreck.
With a compass in his head.
I'll wait for him,
Like vultures wait for bodies.
Please send the wind out,
I hear his voice now,
At the bottom of the blue.
I'll get my coat,
It'll be the second coming outside,
When I return with you.
I'm a ship like you.
One sail.
One sea.
You and me.
And I left my soul next to the shore.
One sail.
One sea.
Wait with my face in sun.
That makes me look less young.
I miss your half Irish grin,
And our love is growing upside down.
They say you'll never make it home!
But I will wait,
Won't bury your clothes.
Please send the wind out, and bring him back now,
Because he is to me my life.
Think about sinking down.
Think about all of it.
Think his face drowning out.
I think of it all

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/
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.
Yes, for some reason I'm compelled to believe it's about their grandparents...I don't remember from where I learned this. It may be in a blog/vlog somewhere if you follow the development of this album.
