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”
Loved a girl named Stacy
Nearly drove him crazy
Took him for all he was worth
That wasn't much
But still they kept in touch
And now they're back in time
Down at the Stonecutter's Arms
There's old Tuck, man
He's down on his luck, man
Some days he's wasting away
There's a place where
Tuck will soon fly there
A toast to his charms
Down at the Stonecutter's Arms
We're outta harm
Down at the Stonecutter's Arms
Raise a glass or two
And maybe smash a few
Well that's okay
They break their backs all day for you
Life is short they say
Down at the Stonecutter's Arms
I'll remember, remember always
Have a toast down there
A toast to her charms
Give it all day
Life is short they say
There's a hearth there
At the Stonecutter's Arms
Stonecutter's Arms
What won't kill you will only make you stronger
Ties that bind there you can never put asunder
Look in her eyes and I can see the world's a wonder
A toast to your charms down at the Stonecutter's Arms
We're outta harm
Down at the Stonecutter's Arms
Raise a glass or two and maybe smash a few
And that's okay
They break their backs all day for you
Life is short they say
Down at the Stonecutter's Arms
I'll remember, remember always
Have a toast down at the Stonecutter's Arms
Give it all day
Life is short they say
There's a hearth there
Down at Stonecutter's Arms
I'll remember through the valleys and
In the streets and down in the alleys
Give it all day
When you're done
There's a hearth there
At the Stonecutter's Arms
I had a friend whose dad died in his arms and it
Broke his heart for a while and it turned him to stone
But I knew he'd get around it
It only made him stronger baby
Once in a while you look in his eyes you know
He's not alone
These are the things that you carry with you and
You're never alone
What won't kill you will only make you stronger
Ties that bind there will never put asunder
Look into her eyes and I see the world's a wonder
A toast to your charms down at the Stonecutter's Arms
I'll remember, remember always
Have a toast there
A toast to her charms
Give it all day
When you're done
There's a hearth there
At the Stonecutter's Arms
I'll remember, remember always
Have a toast there
A toast to her charms
Give it all day
When you're done
There's a hearth there
At the Stonecutter's Arms
Stonecutter's Arms
I'll remember, remember always
Nearly drove him crazy
Took him for all he was worth
That wasn't much
But still they kept in touch
And now they're back in time

There's old Tuck, man
He's down on his luck, man
Some days he's wasting away

Down at the Stonecutter's Arms

I'll remember, remember always
Have a toast there
A toast to her charms
Give it all day
When you're done
There's a hearth there
At the Stonecutter's Arms
Stonecutter's Arms
I'll remember, remember always

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/
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
