Fear Of Death

Datarock

I’m afraid to die
I think about it all the time
It won’t go away
It haunts me
I can’t get it off my mind
What can I do?
It’s just there
That’s why I was so quick to notice
Mr. Grey ad in the tabloid I was reading aloud
The headline hit home
Fear Of Death, it said

You’re disappointed, I can tell
At some level, everyone fears death
I fear it right up front
I don’t know how or why it happens
But I can’t be the only one…

No I don’t wanna leave you
And I don’t wanna deceive you
I am all yours
And I never I never intended
For it all to be ended
I appalled, stalled and offended
Now I’m all yours
And forever and ever and ever
And forever and evermore

I do wanna die first
But that doesn’t mean I’m not afraid
I’m terribly afraid
I’m afraid all the time
What if death is nothing but sound
Electrical noise, niform, white
Sometimes it sweeps over me
Sometimes it insinuates itself into my mind little by little
I try not to talk to it
Not now, Death...

No I don’t wanna leave you
And I don’t wanna deceive you
I am all yours
And I never I never intended
For it all to be ended
I appalled, stalled and offended
Now I’m all yours
And forever and ever and ever
And forever and ever and ever
And forever and ever and ever
And forever and evermore

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”

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/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
