This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Ooh
We're comin' from the mountains,
Across the Northern plains
It's off to California,
Then back again to Maine
Singin' a song that you all know,
Then let your voices go
So sing it out, my
Brothers, wherever we may go
We traveled here, we traveled there, we traveled ev'rywhere
We go by air,
We go by rail,
Any place they pay us scale
Now, repeat the chorus, here we go
Comin' from the mountains, across the Northern plains
It's off to California,
Then back again to Maine
Singin' a song that you all know,
Then let your voices go
So sing it out, my
Brothers, wherever we may go
The folk group has a banjo
Because it's really in
I'll let you hear my banjo ring
When I learn to play the thing
Now, repeat the chorus, here we go
Comin' from the mountains, across the Northern plains
It's off to California,
Then back again to Maine
Singin' a song that you all know,
Then let your voices go
So sing it out, my
Brothers, wherever we may go
The boys with Davy Crockett
Who died at the Alamo,
We heard them say when they
Attacked, I knew this room would kill the act!
Now, repeat the chorus, here we go
Comin' from the mountains, across the Northern plains
It's off to California,
Then back again to Maine
Singin' a song that you all know,
Then let your voices go
So sing it out, my
Brothers, wherever we may go
Comin' from the mountains, across the Northern plains
It's off to California,
Then back again to Maine
Singin' a song that you all know,
Then let your voices go
So sing it out, my
Brothers, wherever we may go
We're comin' from the mountains,
Across the Northern plains
It's off to California,
Then back again to Maine
Singin' a song that you all know,
Then let your voices go
So sing it out, my
Brothers, wherever we may go
We traveled here, we traveled there, we traveled ev'rywhere
We go by air,
We go by rail,
Any place they pay us scale
Now, repeat the chorus, here we go
Comin' from the mountains, across the Northern plains
It's off to California,
Then back again to Maine
Singin' a song that you all know,
Then let your voices go
So sing it out, my
Brothers, wherever we may go
The folk group has a banjo
Because it's really in
I'll let you hear my banjo ring
When I learn to play the thing
Now, repeat the chorus, here we go
Comin' from the mountains, across the Northern plains
It's off to California,
Then back again to Maine
Singin' a song that you all know,
Then let your voices go
So sing it out, my
Brothers, wherever we may go
The boys with Davy Crockett
Who died at the Alamo,
We heard them say when they
Attacked, I knew this room would kill the act!
Now, repeat the chorus, here we go
Comin' from the mountains, across the Northern plains
It's off to California,
Then back again to Maine
Singin' a song that you all know,

So sing it out, my
Brothers, wherever we may go
Comin' from the mountains, across the Northern plains
It's off to California,
Then back again to Maine
Singin' a song that you all know,
Then let your voices go
So sing it out, my
Brothers, wherever we may go

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Page

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.
