The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
'Maria' 愛すべき人がいて
キズを負った全ての者達
周りを見渡せば 誰もが慌ただしく
どこか足早に通り過ぎ
今年も気が付けば こんなにすぐそばまで
冬の気配が訪れてた
今日もきっとこの街のどこかで
出会って 目が合ったふたり
激しく幕が開けてく
それでも全てには 必ずいつの日にか
終わりがやって来るものだから
今日もまたこの街のどこかで
別れの道 選ぶふたり
静かに幕を下ろした
'Maria' 愛すべき人がいて
時に 強い孤独を感じ
だけど 愛すべきあの人に
結局何もかも満たされる
'Maria' 愛すべき人がいて
時に 深く深いキズを負い
だけど 愛すべきあの人に
結局何もかも癒されてる
'Maria' 誰も皆泣いている
(Maria)だけど信じていたい
(Maria)だから祈っているよ
これが最後の恋であるように
理由なく始まりは訪れ
終わりはいつだって理由をもつ
キズを負った全ての者達
周りを見渡せば 誰もが慌ただしく
どこか足早に通り過ぎ
今年も気が付けば こんなにすぐそばまで
冬の気配が訪れてた
今日もきっとこの街のどこかで
出会って 目が合ったふたり
激しく幕が開けてく
それでも全てには 必ずいつの日にか
終わりがやって来るものだから
今日もまたこの街のどこかで
別れの道 選ぶふたり
静かに幕を下ろした
'Maria' 愛すべき人がいて
時に 強い孤独を感じ
だけど 愛すべきあの人に
結局何もかも満たされる
'Maria' 愛すべき人がいて
時に 深く深いキズを負い
だけど 愛すべきあの人に
結局何もかも癒されてる
'Maria' 誰も皆泣いている
(Maria)だけど信じていたい
(Maria)だから祈っているよ
これが最後の恋であるように
理由なく始まりは訪れ
終わりはいつだって理由をもつ

No Surprises
Radiohead

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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/

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I love this song too. Never saw the video though. Have you heard "Evolution"? It's one of my all time favorites by her...
Sox
Mm ^^ I love this song.. She looks SO pretty at the beginning of the video
M is a great song. Of course it is very different from the typical sweet girl style of Ayu. But that is because she wrote these herself. I love the up-beat tempo in this song.
'm' was the first ayu song i ever heard and i love it! did anyone already heard the newer songs like 'july 1st' or 'hanabi', 'independent'? awful!!! love them! ayu gets better and better!!!! ^_^
'm' is such a beautiful song. to thank how the hell does she reach those high notes ^.^ yeah i've been listening to 'july 1st' & 'hanabi' too. my fave songs by ayu are: connected, i am.., voyage, heartplace, dolls, & a song for xx. ayu is really beautiful and her voice is also very beautiful. ohh and i've seen her video for 'm'. she's is very pretty in it, specially when she looked angelic. very nice video ..everyone should download it!!
This song, is really good, but the lyrics are better. She writes a lot of "depressing" songs, but manage to make them up beat and fun.
this is a good song, i love "moments" more tho, anyone else heard it?
love you forever
~AYU! 永遠に応援しているよ～～ayuchan!LOVE YOU SOO!i really admire her... especially her thoughts... i don't reaaly know her but i think she'a a strong-hearted women.. tough!
This was not the first song that Ayu wrote herself as stated above. She's been writing all her own songs ever since her first C.D. 'A Song for XX'. M is the first song she wrote under her psuedonym CREA. Ayu wrote this song as a prayer to the Virgin Mary. It's absolutely lovely. Oh my god, I love it. The video as well is gorgeous, one of my favorites.
