The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
You're part of my heart
And now that you've gone
The stars refuse to shine
Oh, how could they glow
When all of them know
That you're no longer mine
You're part of my heart
And I won't believe
That you've forgotten me
Those nights in the lane
Your love was so plain
You can't ignore my plea
My world is filled with loneliness
Now that you've said we're through
I'm sure that we were meant to be
But how can I prove it to you
You're part of my heart
My love will go on until eternity
You reign in my soul beyond my control
Forever part of me
It's 'cause you're part of my heart
Now you're gone
And the stars refuse to shine
Say, how could they glow
You know they know
You're gone
And you're no longer mine
You're part of my heart
And I won't believe
That you've forgotten me
Those nights in the lane
Your love was so plain
You can't ignore my plea
My world is filled with loneliness
Now that we've said we're through
I'm sure that we were meant to be
But how can I prove it to you
You're part of my heart
My love will go on until eternity
You reign in my soul beyond my control
Forever part of me, you're part of my heart
Part of my heart
And now that you've gone
The stars refuse to shine
Oh, how could they glow
When all of them know
That you're no longer mine
You're part of my heart
And I won't believe
That you've forgotten me
Those nights in the lane
Your love was so plain
You can't ignore my plea
My world is filled with loneliness
Now that you've said we're through
I'm sure that we were meant to be
But how can I prove it to you
You're part of my heart
My love will go on until eternity
You reign in my soul beyond my control
Forever part of me
It's 'cause you're part of my heart
Now you're gone
And the stars refuse to shine
Say, how could they glow
You know they know
You're gone
And you're no longer mine
You're part of my heart
And I won't believe
That you've forgotten me
Those nights in the lane
Your love was so plain
You can't ignore my plea
My world is filled with loneliness
Now that we've said we're through
I'm sure that we were meant to be
But how can I prove it to you
You're part of my heart
My love will go on until eternity
You reign in my soul beyond my control
Forever part of me, you're part of my heart
Part of my heart

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
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.

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/
