Let's go

Oh, now you can have me
When you want me
You simply ask me to be there (uh huh)
And you're the only one
Who makes me come running
'Cause what you got
Is far beyond compare, ooh

And it's just like honey (yeah)
When your love (when your love) comes over me (comes over me)
Oh, baby, I've got a dependency
Always strung out
For another taste of your honey (ooh)

It's like honey when it washes over me
You know sugar never ever was so sweet
And I'm dying for ya
Crying for ya (crying)
I adore ya
One hit of your love affected me (yeah)
And I'm strung out on you, darling
Don't you see (every night)
Every night and day I can hardly wait
For another taste of honey (honey)

Honey, I can't describe
How good it feels inside (ooh, honey)
Honey, I can't describe
How good it feels inside

Oh, I can't be elusive with you honey (I like that)
'Cause it's blatant that I'm feeling you (yeah)
And it's too hard for me to leave abruptly
'Cause you're the only thing I wanna do

And it's just like honey
When your love (when your love) comes over me (comes over me)
Oh, baby, I've got a dependency (so addicted to ya, honey)
Always strung out
For another taste of your honey (honey)

It's like honey when it washes over me
You know sugar never ever was so sweet
And I'm dying for ya
Crying for ya
I adore ya
One hit of your love addicted me (I need you babe)
And I'm strung out on you, darling (ooh, your love addicted me)
Don't you see (I can't wait)
Every night and day I can hardly wait (for another)
For another taste of honey (Baby, I can hardly wait)

Harlem world we won't stop for Mariah, you're on fire
Harlem world we won't stop, so Mariah, take us higher
Harlem world we won't stop, for Mariah, you're on fire
Harlem world we won't stop, so Mariah, take us higher
Break it down

Every little thing you do
Now, what we gonna do right here
Is we gonna smooth it out
(Oh, oh, honey got me hooked on you)
MC, and she won't stop

It's like honey when it washes over me
You know sugar never ever was so sweet
And I'm dying for ya
Crying for ya
I adore ya
One hit of your love addicted me
And I'm strung out on you, darling
Don't you see
Every night and day I can hardly wait
For another taste of honey

It's like honey when it washes over me
You know sugar never ever was so sweet
And I'm dying for ya
Crying for ya
I adore ya
One hit of your love addicted me
And I'm strung out on you, darling
Don't you see
Every night and day I can hardly wait
For another taste of honey

It's like honey when it washes over me
You know sugar never ever was so sweet
And I'm dying for ya
Crying for ya
I adore ya
One hit of your love addicted me
And I'm strung out on you, darling
Don't you see
Every night and day I can hardly wait
For another taste of honey

    This song is definitely about Carey's liberation from her ex-husband, Sony Records president Tommy Motolla. He was an abusive jerk towards Mariah, and had just divorced him before her album, "Butterfly", came ou, this song, along with the album is Carey's declaration of independence from Motolla! Go MARIAH!!!!!!!!!!!

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
