I Could Never Love Another (After Loving You)

The Temptations

Girl, I can't believe my ears
Are you really telling my goodbye?
See, you've taken away my reason for livin'
And you won't even tell me why
Before you walk out the door
There's something I want you to know

That I could never, ever love another, after loving you
Oh ho
No other love will I share 'cause none could compare
After loving you

It was only yesterday
Your words are still fresh in my mind
Baby, you said
Long as rivers flow
Each day you'd love me more
Now you want to leave me behind
Listen baby, I don't know what it's gonna take to make you stay
I just know I've got to find a way

'Cause I could never, never, never ever love another, after loving you
Oh ho
No other love will I share 'cause none, none could compare
After loving you

So baby, please stay beside me
I need your sweet love to guide me
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Oh, after loving you

Baby, baby, baby
It was only, only, only, only yesterday
Your words are still fresh in my mind
I remember you said
Long as rivers flow
Each day you'd love me more
Now you want to leave, leave me behind
Listen baby, I don't know what it's gonna take to make you stay
I just know I've got to find a way

'Cause I could never
Never, never, never, ever love another, after loving you
Oh ho
No other love will I share 'cause none, none could compare
After loving you

Oh, baby
On my bended knees
I'm begging you to stay here with me
Oh, oh, baby, baby, baby, baby

I could never, never, never, never love another, after loving you
Oh ho
No other love will I share 'cause none could compare
After loving you
Baby, baby, baby, baby

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.

Fast Car
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.

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."

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.
