This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
LLegaste hasta mí, llegaste buscandome
llegaste hasta mí dejando todo por mí
no pensaste en nada, sólo en nosotros dos
la gente hablaba de nuestro amor.
Tiempos de locos, todo nos daba igual
amores a todas horas, amor sin final
te marchaste lejos todo se acabó
me dejaste sólo, sólo sin tu amor.
Pasa el tiempo y lo paso fatal
nada importa todo da igual
robaste mis sueños me robaste mí
muero por que tú no mueres por mí
robaste mis sueños me robaste mí
muero por que tú no mueres por mí.
Salgo por las noches no se donde ir
pasan los días y sigo pensando en tí
te odio por que tienes todo mi amor
sólo en casa lloro por lo dos.
Tu amor me persigue a donde voy
termino en los bares no sé dónde estoy
regreso a casa no encuentro el portal
duermo en la calle todo da igual.
Pasa el tiempo y lo paso fatal
nada importa todo da igual
robaste mis sueños me robaste mí
muero por que tú no mueres por mí
robaste mis sueños me robaste mí
muero por que tú no mueres por mí.
llegaste hasta mí dejando todo por mí
no pensaste en nada, sólo en nosotros dos
la gente hablaba de nuestro amor.
Tiempos de locos, todo nos daba igual
amores a todas horas, amor sin final
te marchaste lejos todo se acabó
me dejaste sólo, sólo sin tu amor.
Pasa el tiempo y lo paso fatal
nada importa todo da igual
robaste mis sueños me robaste mí
muero por que tú no mueres por mí
robaste mis sueños me robaste mí
muero por que tú no mueres por mí.
Salgo por las noches no se donde ir
pasan los días y sigo pensando en tí
te odio por que tienes todo mi amor
sólo en casa lloro por lo dos.
Tu amor me persigue a donde voy
termino en los bares no sé dónde estoy
regreso a casa no encuentro el portal
duermo en la calle todo da igual.
Pasa el tiempo y lo paso fatal
nada importa todo da igual
robaste mis sueños me robaste mí
muero por que tú no mueres por mí
robaste mis sueños me robaste mí
muero por que tú no mueres por mí.

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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
