The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
I never smoked me no cigarettes
I never drank much booze
But I'm only a man, don't you understand
And a man can sometimes lose
You gave me somethin' I never had
Pulled me down with you
Hit me with a big chunk of love
Hope you can pull me through
I overdosed on you
I overdosed on you
Crazy, but it's true
Ain't nothin' I can do
I overdosed on you
Oh, woman you give to me
More than I can take
But listen, honey, I don't mind
You're a habit I don't wanna break
Don't want me none of that harder stuff
Don't need it anymore
I'm in love, and I'm sinkin' fast
And I don't need no cure
I overdosed on you
I overdosed on you
Crazy, but it's true
Ain't nothin' I can do
I overdosed on you
Gee, I was happy as a man could be
Too far gone to save
Died of love, and plenty of
Just write on my grave
I overdosed on you
I overdosed on you
Crazy, but it's true
But nothin' I can do
I overdosed on you
On you
On you
On you
All over you
All over you
Ooh, yeah, oh
I overdosed
Overdosed
Overdosed on you
Overdosed, yeah
I never drank much booze
But I'm only a man, don't you understand
And a man can sometimes lose
You gave me somethin' I never had
Pulled me down with you
Hit me with a big chunk of love
Hope you can pull me through
I overdosed on you
I overdosed on you
Crazy, but it's true
Ain't nothin' I can do
I overdosed on you
Oh, woman you give to me
More than I can take
But listen, honey, I don't mind
You're a habit I don't wanna break
Don't want me none of that harder stuff
Don't need it anymore
I'm in love, and I'm sinkin' fast
And I don't need no cure
I overdosed on you
I overdosed on you
Crazy, but it's true
Ain't nothin' I can do
I overdosed on you
Gee, I was happy as a man could be
Too far gone to save
Died of love, and plenty of
Just write on my grave
I overdosed on you
I overdosed on you
Crazy, but it's true
But nothin' I can do
I overdosed on you
On you
On you
On you
All over you
All over you
Ooh, yeah, oh
I overdosed
Overdosed
Overdosed on you
Overdosed, yeah

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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
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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
i agree with you my man, but please dont' use F@#$% as a term to put people down.
Rob Halford happens to be proud of his sexual choice and good for him......and he did front Judas Priest.
I digress. People simply put ACDC in the limited head bangers group, but if you actually listen to the albums (Bon Scott years) you will be amazed to hear a band on par with just about any act out there.
Have a good one .........Check out ,"Bullet"
as good a love song as has ever been written.
I'm not surprised to be the first; Hell half of the Rock and Roll world doesn't even know who Bon Scott is.......if you are still wondering he was the greatest lead singer in the history of music.
Alright that is an over statement; but no one brought more energy and sung with such an unhinged flare...and he really shined on this one.
This happens to be my favorate AC DC song and once you hear it a few times i'm certain you will rank it among your favorate AC DC tunes.
Just unreal energy.
Bon Scott is the most deserving yet unheralded person in Rock and Roll history.
^^^i couldn't agree more
and i hate those emo fags that say "all AC/DC sounds the same" because they are ignorant, and have never heard 1/16 of AC/DC's songs...hell they've probably heard highway to hell, TNT, and back in black
fuckin faggots
yes first line he says,I never smoked me no cigarettes
