This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I was swept to sea while trying to be poetic
It always takes a tragedy to put it in perspective
I've been living through a drought that never leaves
My inspiration's gone as well as my beliefs
Well they say that David didn't pen a psalm for 7 years
Or did the words he write just disappear
The waves came so suddenly today
Did my friends all leave me or was I swept away
Well David lived through his dry season
And I guess I will too
To find my peace before being taken by this
Dangerous blue
And I don't know why I still sang
Hallelujah to my king
Maybe it's habit
Or maybe it's deeper than everything
I woke up on the beach with a million fish
I know I prayed for rain but I never meant like this
Well they say that David didn't pen a psalm for 7 years
Or did the words he write just disappear
Paper can burn, why do I hope these words immortal
And then you said, it's still all elemental
Well David lived through his dry season
And I guess I will too
Before being taken by this beautiful
Dangerous blue
And I don't know why I still sang
Hallelujah to my king
Maybe it's habit
Or maybe it's deeper than everything
It always takes a tragedy to put it in perspective
I've been living through a drought that never leaves
My inspiration's gone as well as my beliefs
Well they say that David didn't pen a psalm for 7 years
Or did the words he write just disappear
The waves came so suddenly today
Did my friends all leave me or was I swept away
Well David lived through his dry season
And I guess I will too
To find my peace before being taken by this
Dangerous blue
And I don't know why I still sang
Hallelujah to my king
Maybe it's habit
Or maybe it's deeper than everything
I woke up on the beach with a million fish
I know I prayed for rain but I never meant like this
Well they say that David didn't pen a psalm for 7 years
Or did the words he write just disappear
Paper can burn, why do I hope these words immortal
And then you said, it's still all elemental
Well David lived through his dry season
And I guess I will too
Before being taken by this beautiful
Dangerous blue
And I don't know why I still sang
Hallelujah to my king
Maybe it's habit
Or maybe it's deeper than everything

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.
