Mm, yeah

When there's clouds hangin' in the sky
And they're just not lettin' any light in
And you feel like you'd like to give in
Don't you give up so soon
What you need is a friend to count on
What you got baby you got someone
Who will stay when the rain is fallin'
And won't let it fall on you

I'll see you through
I'll cover you
With a love so deep and warm and true
I will be there, oh

Honey, I'll be your shelter
I'll be the one to take you through the night
Whenever you need shelter
I'll make everything alright, make everything alright, yeah

Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na

I got arms strong enough to hold you
Get you through anything you go through
Anything that you need, you know
It's only a touch away
When your heart needs a heart beside it
Should be mine that's it's keepin' time with
'Cause I got so much love inside
It beats for you every day

I'll be the one
To give you love
When it seems like there's just not enough
Mine will be there, oh

Honey I'll be your shelter
I'll be the one to take you through the night
Whenever you need shelter
I'll make everything alright, make everything alright, yeah

Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na

I'll be your shelter, be your shelter, baby

I'll see you through
I'll cover you
With a love so deep and warm and true
Mine will be there, oh

Honey, I'll be your shelter
I'll be the one to take you through the night
Whenever you need shelter
I'll make everything alright, make everything alright
And I'll be your shelter
I'll be the one to take you through the night
Whenever you need shelter
I'll make everything alright, make everything alright, yeah

Na, na, na-na-na-na (na-na-na)
Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na (I'll be your shelter, be your shelter, baby)
Na, na, na-na-na-na (na-na-na-na)
Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na (I'll be good for you)

    Actually, you're right. Her real name is Leslie Wunderman. :) Not quite as catchy.

    Great song though, makes you wanna hug someone.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
