When you were wrapped in tangles,
I was free
And when you were undecided,
I believed
It's alright tonight
On a deep blue mountain high
We're shapes that go together
You and I
When you were filled with longing,
I belonged
When you were weak from trying,
I was strong
But it's alright tonight
On a deep blue mountain high
*We're shapes that go together
You and I
We're shapes that go together
You and I
Child who'd wait in tears
Come to me
Whisper softly
And tenderly
I walked twenty-five miles to hold you
Just to find you'd moved away
When you were wrapped in tangles,
I was free
And when you were almost blinded,
I could see
But it's alright tonight
On a deep blue mountain high
(Repeat *)
You and I
You were wrapped in tangles,
I was free....

    Utterly love the lines: I walked twenty five miles to hold you Just to find you'd moved away....

    Makes me smile despite the unfortunate predicament :)

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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/

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
