Heaven Help

Lenny Kravitz

There comes a time
To be free of the heart
I want to be ready
Ready to start

On a love journey
I got places to go
Made up my mind
And I have got to let you know

Heaven help the heart
That lets me inside
Heaven help the one
Who comes in my life

Heaven help the fool
That walks through my door
'Cause I decided right now
I'm ready for love
Oh ah ah
Ready for love

A funny feeling's coming over me
Now I'm inspired and open to being
In a love place
But it's out of my hands
I'm telling you baby that you got to understand

Ha ah that lets me inside
Heaven help the one
Who comes in my life

Heaven help the fool
That walks though my door
'Cause I decided right now
I'm ready for love
Ready for love

I can't see what's out there for me
And I know love offers no guarantee
I'll take a chance and I'm
Telling you something babe
I got to let you know

Heaven help the heart
That lets me inside
Heaven help the one
Who comes in my life

Heaven help the fool
That walks through my door
'Cause I decided right now
I'm ready for love

Ready for love
Take a chance
Take the chance on love

    This is such a good song, the use of the piano is superb. I think this is about a guy who's ready for love, and he feels kinda sorry for the woman who he decides to fall in love with

    I love this one, it's so sweet and simple. It just talks about a man that has finally become open and ready for love again...after being in the dark for a while, I think. It just gives me hope :)

    This is my sister and her husbands song :). When they were dating and just listening to music, this song came on and he singed it to her.

    I love it :) - I think of them everytime I hear it. It was his way of letting her know that he's ready to fall and he is :)

    I love this song for what it represents. However, for some reason I feel like the even though he sings that he is ready to fall into love and be in a relationship, I don't believe that he truly wants that. It's like he says it so much that he's trying to assure himself that that's what he wants. I think he is really thinking "heaven help me."

    I think that it's not as bleak as caity_grace suggests. I think that when he says heaven help me, he is trying to be a better person, possibly because of a previous relationship which made him afraid of falling in love, and hence various problems arised.

Step
Ministry
Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

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.

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/

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.
