This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I was there
When you shone as bright as Bethlehem from afar
I was there
When you were young and strong and perverted
And everything that makes a young man a star
Oh, you were a star
I was there
And I swear to God and on my mother's grave
On everything I have or ever will embrace
I was there
And I saw it with my own two eyes
And now it's all around me, it's all around me
I'm surrounded
And now it's all around me, it's all around me
You surround me like a circle
Do, do, do, do, do, do
I was there
Come on, tell me I wasn't worth stickin' it out for
Well, I was there
And I know I was worth it, 'cause if I wasn't worth it
That makes me worse off than you are
It's all around me, it's all around me
I'm surrounded
You know it's all around me, it's all around me
You surround me like a circle
But don't you lose
Sight of me now
Don't you lose
Sight of me now
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Don't lose sight of me now
'Cause I was there
When they dropped the bomb
You know I remember the bomb
And I still hear the bomb
And I still fight the bomb
You know I still fear the bomb
You know I still hate the bomb
Sometimes I still get the call
So don't you lose sight of me now
Don't you lose sight of me now
You know you're all around me (don't you lose)
You're all around me
I'm surrounded (sight of me now)
You know you're all around me (Don't you lose )
You're all around me
I'm surrounded (sight of me now)
You know you're all around me (don't you lose)
You're all around me
I'm surrounded (Sight of me now)
Now it's all around me (don't you lose)
You're all around me
You surround me like a circle
I'm surrounded, oh
Ah, ah, like a circle around me
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
All around me now
Oh
When you shone as bright as Bethlehem from afar
I was there
When you were young and strong and perverted
And everything that makes a young man a star
Oh, you were a star
I was there
And I swear to God and on my mother's grave
On everything I have or ever will embrace
I was there
And I saw it with my own two eyes
And now it's all around me, it's all around me
I'm surrounded
And now it's all around me, it's all around me
You surround me like a circle
Do, do, do, do, do, do
I was there
Come on, tell me I wasn't worth stickin' it out for
Well, I was there
And I know I was worth it, 'cause if I wasn't worth it
That makes me worse off than you are
It's all around me, it's all around me
I'm surrounded
You know it's all around me, it's all around me
You surround me like a circle
But don't you lose
Sight of me now
Don't you lose
Sight of me now
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Don't lose sight of me now
'Cause I was there
When they dropped the bomb
You know I remember the bomb
And I still hear the bomb
And I still fight the bomb
You know I still fear the bomb
You know I still hate the bomb
Sometimes I still get the call
So don't you lose sight of me now
Don't you lose sight of me now
You know you're all around me (don't you lose)
You're all around me
I'm surrounded (sight of me now)
You know you're all around me (Don't you lose )
You're all around me
I'm surrounded (sight of me now)
You know you're all around me (don't you lose)
You're all around me
I'm surrounded (Sight of me now)
Now it's all around me (don't you lose)
You're all around me
You surround me like a circle
I'm surrounded, oh
Ah, ah, like a circle around me
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
All around me now
Oh

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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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
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.
I listened to this song on repeat this spring. I had two friends kill themselves within two months of each other. This song always seemed to be about a close friend of her's who killed themselves. One of the saddest lines I think is when she says,
"I was there c'mon and tell me i wasn't worth sticking it out for"
"dropped the bomb" is the perfect expression of the way it felt when I was called about each of my friends.
This song is amazing. She's amazing.
Musicbuff is right, it's about an ex-boyfriend who developed a mood disorder. I seen Chantal in concert tonight, and she explained it before she sang it.
I think I first heard this song on an episode of Dawson's Creek. There are so many different parts to this song and they're all really different and amazing.
This song is about a girl and a boy that have known each other ever since they can remember. It is definitely from the girl's point of view and when she says "you surround me like a circle" she is speaking of the confusion she feels about how close they are how she doesnt know where she begins and he ends. When she talks about how she was "worth it" and the so called "bomb"... I think the bomb is when she finds out that he doesnt feel the same way about her as she does for him even though she was always there for him. And through it all she still loves him and always will.
I heard on a website that this song is about a friend has killed himself and the girl is singing about it...Actually I heard that it happened in real life. Chantal's best friend died of suicide and I heard that she can't sing it much because she cries and it gets to her. and the "Bomb" is the suicide that she hears about.
and also his death surrounds her like a circle. And she was there for him but it didn't seem to help.
chantal's fiancee killed himself...this is what came of the situation...i love this song...
I always thought this song was about someone loving someone who is dying of Aids or cancer or something like that.In the begining she talks about them being young and strong. I felt like the illness was progression that took place in front of her./ The bomb was the diagnoses.
This song sounds like it's about a war... she's fighting and he's with her. I suppose they're best friends. They're in this war and he tells her to stay and wait for him or something and he'll fight for her (evidently she's wounded so she can't fight but she still wants to). She's sent home from injuries. 'Saw it with my own two eyes' means she must have saw it on TV. She got a call that he died over there.
The surrounding theme means that he's her angel.
shrug That's my take on it.
wonderful song, too.
"that makes me worse off then you are"
Her delivery of this line gives me chills.
