I'm Holdin' on to Love (To Save My Life)

Shania Twain

I don't need a shrink to tell me what to think
There ain't no missing link in my love life
It's alright, I ain't that uptight
No, I don't need a psychic 'cause I don't really like it
When someone tries to tell me just what my future holds
I already know

Your love keeps me alive
You're all I need to survive
I got you by my side

So I'm holdin' on
I'm feelin' strong, baby you're the one
For all my life
Yeah, I'm holdin' out, there ain't no doubt
I can't live without you all my life!
I'm holdin' on to love to save my life

Oh, I don't need to get all caught up on the net
'Cause I'm already set
Can't you understand? Already got my man
No, I don't need proof to show me the truth
Not even Dr. Ruth
Is gonna tell me how I feel, I know our love is real

Well, your love keeps me alive
You're all I need to survive
I got you by my side

So I'm holdin' on
I'm feelin' strong, baby you're the one
For all my life
Yeah, I'm holdin' out, there ain't no doubt
I can't live without you all my life
I'm holdin' on to love to save my life
Oh, save me, kiss me

I'm holdin' on to love to save my life
Oh, I'm holding, oh yeah, oh

Well, your love keeps me alive
You're all I need to survive
I got you by my side

So I'm holdin' on
I'm feelin' strong, baby you're the one
For all my life
Yeah I'm holdin' out, there ain't no doubt
I can't live without you all my life!
I'm holdin' on to love
I'm holdin' on to love to save my life
Save me, save me, save me
Save my life

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
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.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
