This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Just like a bird that whistles in the trees and in the leaves so happily your
my tree and through the storm you stood strong for me kept me warm as could
(warm as can be) like a candy to an apple oh we go together your so sweet to me
(oh so sweet) i can say that i do believe this is destiny it keeps calling me
now it's me and you
you and me
and it's whatever
whatever you want it to be
i'm telling you (i'm telling you)
if it's up to me whatever is whatever
is whatever with you and me ( whatever is whatever)
just like a breeze in the middle of a summer eve you come through you comfort
me if i'm a drink your my lemon squeeze oh you've got flava boy you go good with
me so boy don't play or tease me ooh keep me together you got what i need now
it's getting late it's after three so quit your stalling my body's calling
now it's me and you
and you and me
and it's whatever
whatever you want it to be
i'm telling you (i'm telling you)
if it's up to me whatever is whatever
as long as its you and me
whatever is whatever
it's whatever
it's your world
I put that on everything
it's your world

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/
Trouble Breathing
Alkaline Trio
Alkaline Trio
While the obvious connections with suicide or alcoholism could be drawn easily, more subtly this song could be about someone who views the world through a negative lens constantly and how as much as the writer tries to show the beauty in the world, this person refuses to see it. It's one or another between the rope and the bottle. There is no good option for this person. They can't see it. Skiba sings it in a kind of exasperated way like He's tired of hearing this negative view constantly and just allowing that person to continue feeling the way they feel knowing he can't do anything about it. You can hear it when he says maybe you're a vampire.
Somewhere Only We Know
Keane
Keane
Per the FAQ on Keane's website, Keane's drummer Richard Hughes, stated the following:
"We've been asked whether "Somewhere Only We Know" is about a specific place, and Tim has been saying that, for him, or us as individuals, it might be about a geographical space, or a feeling; it can mean something individual to each person, and they can interpret it to a memory of theirs... It's perhaps more of a theme rather than a specific message... Feelings that may be universal, without necessarily being totally specific to us, or a place, or a time..."
With the nostalgic sentiment and the overall tone of the song, I think Keane is attempting to express a Portuguese term known as 'saudade', which does not have a direct English translation but roughly means "that which we remember because it is gone."
Sunglasses at Night
Corey Hart
Corey Hart
In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.
This song is so beautiful...her vocals, the lyrics, the beat, the melody...it's perfect.
