Hmm yeah eh eh

Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come, my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday

They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together, still going strong

Mm (you're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss goodnight

Ain't nothin' better
We beat the odds together
I'm glad we didn't listen
Look at what we would be missin'

They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together, still going strong

(You're still the one) oh
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss goodnight

You're still the one

(Ooh ooh ooh)

Yeah (you're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life, oh yeah (you're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss goodnight

I'm so glad we made it
Look how far we've come, my baby

    Shania wrote this song for her husband, Mutt Lange. Because of their age difference, many people thought she was just using him to further her career & no one thought they'd be together for much longer. She's saying in this song that she's glad that they didn't listen to the people who doubted them. They are still together today & going on strong. Their relationship reminds me of a country Sonny & Cher.

    -linds "you're still the one I love."

    This song reminds me of my fiance and I. We have been together for 2.5 years, and my dad & stepmom did not think that we would make it this far. They also hoped that we wouldn't make it this long. But, my fiance and I have stayed strong, and are getting married in September! I love you babe!!

    This song has a very personal message to me. When my husband and I got married, everyone in the office where we worked placed bets on how long we would last. Though there have been some very trying times, and we have been seperated 3 times, (and filed papers during the last seperation) we have hung in there. On April 6th of this year, we celebrated 9 years together. Everytime I hear this song, I feel like going up to everyone in the office and saying, "Nenner, nenner, nenner. !

    I was obsessed with this song when it first came out in '97. It's no longer one of my Shania favorites because I have basically heard two albums since then, but it's still a song with a beautiful message.

    I love this song, and i love singing it. It's about a couple staying together against all the odds and against what people say about them. Shania sings about the relationship surviving despite everything and that both people are still so in love. It's a really sweet song. Shania Twain is the only Country singer i really like, apart from Patty Griffin and then that's only because of the song, 'Sweet Lorraine' which reminds me of someone i know called Lorraine. 'You're Still The One' is a pretty song and the album this song comes from, 'Come On Over', in my opinion, is her best so far.

    i think that this song has a deep meaning, although others did not think that the couple in the song would make it they did and they hugn on tight even through the tough times, and i think that the message is that you have to put your all into a relationship to get the most out of it.

    I'd have to agree with you...a very emotional song, and if you want a wicked rock cover of this song, look for Don't Look Down's version.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.

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/

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
