naked lovers feel the blood beneath their
veins
electric nerves communicate
with tiny explosions through our brains
who is this energy that never left or
came?
give rise to passion the only glory
of this human story

I give my heart and soul to the one

we spend all of our lives goin' out of our
minds
looking back to our birth forward to our
demise
even scientists say everything is just
light
not created, destroyed but eternally
bright
masters in everytime lord in everyplace
those who stood up for love down in spite
of the hate
in spite of the hate

who put the flower in the barrel of that
gun?
who lit the candle that started the fire,
burnt down the fortress, the throne?
who could house all the refugees in a
single shack
or a lowly bungalow?
who lives in a different dimension, free
from the
struggles we know?

I give my heart and soul to the one

we spend all of our lives goin' out of our
minds
looking back to our birth, forward to our
demise
even scientists say, everything is just
light
not created, destroyed but eternally
bright
masters in everytime lord in everyplace
those who stood up for love down in spite
of the hate
we spend all of our lives goin' out of our
minds
they live in the light

we made it to the moon
but we can't make it home
waitin' on a rescue that never comes
made it to the moon
but we can't make it home
maybe home is where the heart is given
up
to the one
to the one

we spend all of our lives goin' out of our
minds
lookin' back to our birth, forward to our
demise
we spend all of our lives goin' out of our
minds
they live, they

they stood up for love
stood up for love
stood up for love
they stood up for love
stood up for love
stood up for love

we spend all of our lives goin' out of our
minds
masters in everytime
we spend all of our lives goin' out of our
minds
stood up for love

    so I am going to go out on a limb here.."They stood up for love, inspite of the hate" could be talking about the issue of un-accepted forms of love.. inter-racial marriage, for instance, as in the case that went before the Supreme Court in the 60's, brought by a inter-racial that wanted to have their marriage recognized legally, married couple actually named "Loving"..it could also be about the gay and lesbian movement to have our relationships also recognized legally in the eyes of the state. I don't think that is too much of an assumption, the guys are all about challenging ideas, and thinking deeper about issues..

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
