This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
there's a girl i know that lives on the west side
and she's sweeter than a breaking wave
there's a bus that takes me in from the suburbs
and she meets me on the colonnade
she says why don't we just go away
baby why can't we have some fun
but when sunday morning comes around i'm gone
sunday the bus drives
back up the west side
up in the window
she whispers don't go
i know that one day
there won't be sunday
weeks only six days
and i will get to stay
so i'll be crying on the way through new haven
i'll be crying on the way back home
and the road that stretches out behind me
is the only place i want to go
well today the fire hydrants open and
all the kids are out there on the street
but that fading summer sun is killing me
sunday the bus drives
back up the west side
up in the window
she whispers don't go
i know that one day
there won't be sunday
weeks only six days
and i will get to stay
doesn't it hurt to be in love
doesn't the sun just make you mad
why must we try to understand
why some are sad
why some are sad
sunday the bus drives
back up the west side
up in the window
she whispers don't go
i know that one day
there won't be sunday
weeks only six days
and i will get to stay
and she's sweeter than a breaking wave
there's a bus that takes me in from the suburbs
and she meets me on the colonnade
she says why don't we just go away
baby why can't we have some fun
but when sunday morning comes around i'm gone
sunday the bus drives
back up the west side
up in the window
she whispers don't go
i know that one day
there won't be sunday
weeks only six days
and i will get to stay
so i'll be crying on the way through new haven
i'll be crying on the way back home
and the road that stretches out behind me
is the only place i want to go
well today the fire hydrants open and
all the kids are out there on the street
but that fading summer sun is killing me
sunday the bus drives
back up the west side
up in the window
she whispers don't go
i know that one day
there won't be sunday
weeks only six days
and i will get to stay
doesn't it hurt to be in love
doesn't the sun just make you mad
why must we try to understand
why some are sad
why some are sad
sunday the bus drives
back up the west side
up in the window
she whispers don't go
i know that one day
there won't be sunday
weeks only six days
and i will get to stay

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
