I feel so nice just when you're here
The reason why is not so clear
I knew the first time when you told me
I'd fall in love just as you'd hold me

And now I want to stay at your side tonight
I want to watch you as the sun lights up your eyes
I want to know when you wake first thing you see is me
You're all the things I prayed that I'd meet

Ride, ride this wave of mine
There're brighter things out on the other side
Ride, ride this wave of mine
I know that things are going to be alright

Moments they come and then they go
You'll feel so high and then before you know
I could of sworn our future was set in stone
But I guess some things it's just as well for God to know

So now I concentrate on turning wrong to right
I'm going to let go things I held inside so tight
I'm going to live and let forgive things said in spite
Clear out the smoke and usher in the light

Ride, ride this wave of mine
There're brighter things out on the other side
Ride, ride this wave of mine
I know that things are going to be alright

    Paragraph by Paragraph. :)

    "I feel so nice just when you're here The reason why is not so clear And I knew the first time when you told me I'd fall in love just as you hold me"

    She is very in love with someone. Just as he said, she fell in love, and now she feels wonderful around him.

    "And I want to stay at your side tonight, I want to watch you as the sun lights up your eyes I want to know when you wake first thing you see is me 'Cuz you're all the things that I pray I need"

    All she wants to do is spend time with him, he's everything she needs, etc. More emphasis on being in love.

    "Ride, ride this wave of mine There's brighter things out on the other side Ride, ride this wave of mine I know that things are gonna be alright"

    Something happened to shake up the relationship, most likely on her part. She's telling him to just ride the wave, in essence, "go with the flow." While things might look dark from where they are now, everything will work out in the end.

    "Moments they come and then they go You feel so high, and then before you know I could have sworn our future was set in stone But, I guess some things are just as well forgotten now"

    Love is so sweet, yet sometimes so temporary. The high she was on came crashing down. She thought that she would always be with this guy, but now she wonders if she should just forget it.

    "So know I concentrate on turning wrong to right I gonna let loose things I held inside to die I'm gonna live and let forgive may satisfy So clear out the smoke and usher in the light"

    Instead she decides to just tell the truth and try to right all her wrongs. Things she's been lying about for a while she'll reveal. By living and forgiving, she'll be able to get rid of all the shadows and skeletons and start living a true life again. By this, she hopes she can save the relationship.

    "Ride, ride this wave of mine There's brighter things out on the other side Ride, ride this wave of mine I know that things are gonna be alright"

    Once again, telling the guy to go with the flow and just let her come clean with him and help right her wrongs. By doing so, she'll help right the relationship as well.

    I guess you could make a huge generalization and have it being not about a guy, but about drugs and coming clean, but I think that's looking way too far into it.

    It's about really being in love, and knowing that no matter what, all wrongs will be righted, and everything will turn out ok in the end.

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
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.

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.
