Stone The Crow

Down

A bout of deep depression
Can't seem to move it forward
My lying eyes lie awake
Not sure what I am after

I never died before
Can't help what happened yesterday
I never stoned the crow, no

Flit through endless stories
A lifetime of hand-written pain
No one can share this hurt that is mine, mine, mine

I never died before
Can't be what happened yesterday
I shouldn't stone the crow, no
Ride on!

Same old city (same old city)
Same old shame
No matter how I try, no matter what I say
I'm blamed, I'm shamed, I'm judged unfairly

So now I've died before
It feels as bad as yesterday
I never stoned the crow, no

You too have died before
I fought as hard as yesterday
I never stoned the crow
Stoned the crow, no, no

Crush

    Great, great song! Yeah it's about being Down (strangely enough!) and what you're going to do - kill yourself or get through it, trying to change bad habits and break out of mental inertia. A lot of Anselmo's lyrics are about this kind of thing, especially on Down's first album. I'm trying to learn how to sing properly (like Anselmo would be good, of course...) and this is a good exercise. God knows what's up with that man's vocal cords though!

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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
