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.
Ooh, damn rich I'm feeling this. this some old 96 new york shit right here.
I love waking up this morning smelling like you.
I sniffed the sheets and the pillows a little while,
Hopped out of bed with a pep and a big smile.
Took my shower, got dressed and sprayed my perfume.
Then I got in the car pushed the radio dial soon as
I heard this song I turned up the volume.
I thought about when I met you I never thought we'd be
Together or you would have me open like you do.
'cause last night we made sweet good love baby.
[chorus]
I thought I knew (thought I knew)
But I really ain't know (I really ain't know)
How deep and strong (ooh)
Your love could go (your love could go)
Slow and long (so slow)
You made the fire burn (my fire burn)
I guess it's true (uhm uhm)
You never too old to learn (how good love feels)
Uh, just let it breathe right here
I'm always talkin' and tellin' my people bout you (you you)
'cause how you got me trippin'
I feel like a kid again your lips taste like chocolate and cinnamon.
I love your style 'cause you keep it hood and stay true (you stay true)
Uh, you be in them streets but you know when to come home
So I'll be waiting with one of your shirts on.
Thinking bout when I met you I never thought we'd be together (it's crazy)
Or you would have me open like you do (hey, 'cause last night we made some good love baby)
[Chorus]
I thought I knew (i thought I knew)
But I really ain't know (but I didn't know you)
How deep and strong (yeah)
Your love could go (you sure can go go go)
Slow and long (slow and long)
You made the fire burn (you made my fire burn boy)
I guess it's true (true)
You never too old to learn (how good love feels)
Whew, how many of y'all know what I'm talking about out there.
Well I tell you what turn your volume up and let me tell you what I'm talking about.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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
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

Ed Sheeran
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.
