Still

Tim McGraw

Are you still there?
I've got a bad connection
It's pouring rain, 2 a.m.
And I'm in the middle of nowhere

I don't know what to say (I'm saying it)
I don't know what to do (I'm doin' it)
All I really know is I know I need you, I need you yeah

I just called to hear you breathing
Your last words before you're sleeping
I can't sleep without your body next to mine
Yeah, I know I'm always leaving
Breaking your heart, breaking even
I'm just a number in the middle of the night but
I'm still on the line
I'm still on the line
I'm still on the line

Am I lonely?
Yeah, of course I am
Smoke green nights and red tail lights
Got me slowly going crazy

I don't know what to say (I'm saying it)
I don't know what to do (I'm doin' it)
All I really know is I know I need you, I need you

I just called to hear you breathing
Your last words before your sleeping
I can't sleep without your body next to mine
Yeah, I know I'm always leaving
Breaking your heart breaking even
I'm just a number in the middle of the night, but
I'm still on the line
I'm still on the line
I'm still on the line

I just called to hear you breathing
Your last words before your sleeping
I can't sleep without your body next to mine yeah
Ya, I know I'm always leaving
Breaking your heart breaking even
I'm just a number in the middle of the night, but
I'm still on the line
I'm still on the line
I'm still on the line

I'm still on the line

    The meaning's pretty simple. When life gets crazy he just close his eyes, be "still", thinking about what's important to him. His old memories of his home, his parents and siblings, his wife and kids, and I think the last verse is referring to a church.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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”

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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
