I remember quite well the first time I took you home
We were so young I didn't think much of you
Sure you were cute and full of tricks
And a whole lot brighter than a guinea pig
But I didn't think much of you back then

And I think you loved me first 'cause it sure took me a while
To figure out that you were kinda special
But now you're old and full of ticks
And you yell at everybody just for kicks
And I wish that you would just shut up

Why do you scream at me? Why do you scream?
I don't know why you have to do that
'Cause things don't seem all that bad to me
Oh I'm begging you please, baby please don't scream

Do you remember that old cat who beat you up so bad
I thought You wouldn't make it I almost couldn't take it
But now you're mean and paranoid
There's not a piece of this house that you haven't destroyed
And I wish that you would just shut up

Why do you scream at me? Why do you scream?
I don't know why you have to do that
'Cause things don't seem all that bad to me
Oh I'm begging you please, baby please don't scream
Oh I'm begging you please, baby please don't scream

You know I've loved a lot of men and moved far away from them
And I hate to say it but you're my oldest friend
And I'm glad you're around
'Cause you still know how to make my favorite sound
But then I wish that you would just shut up

Why do you scream at me? Why do you scream?
I don't know why you have to do that
'Cause things don't seem all that bad to me
Oh I'm begging you please, baby please don't scream

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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/

Blue

“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.
