Giving Myself

Jennifer Hudson

I never been who I wanted to be
I never felt completely free
No one's ever had all of me
Or made me feel so beautiful and sexy

Now I'm flying like an airplane
Now I'm riding on the open range
Now I'm living out my destiny
I know the truth,
I got it all in you and me

Oh, I'm giving myself over to you
Body and soul
I'm giving it over
I'm giving myself over to you now

Like a brand new day
Now you and I, we're the face of fame
Ain't nobody got nothing to say, no
And from my feelings
I never have to run away
No more
'Cause he's here
Holding me tight
Every day and night
Oh baby
Can't you see?
I don't wanna be without you anymore

Oh, I'm giving myself over to you
Body and soul
I'm giving it over
I'm giving myself over to you

Oh, I'm giving myself over to you
Body and soul
I'm giving it over
I'm giving myself over to you

For the first time
I can stand in front of someone
Finally
I can be me
I can just let my love spill over
I can cry
I don't have to lie
I can finally let someone all the way inside
All the way
All they way
All the way

Handing myself over to you
Body and soul
I'm giving it over
I'm giving myself over to you

I'm giving myself over to you
Body and soul
I'm giving it over
I'm giving myself over to you

You know it's the right time
I know it's the right night
I know it's the right life
I know you're the right man
I know I'm the right girl
Come on now feel it
You feel it?
I'm ready to give it over to you

Body and soul
I'm giving it over (I'm giving it over)
I'm giving myself over to you now
All they way
All the way
I've never loved nobody else

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
