Don't be so hard on yourself
Those tears are for someone else
I hear your voice on the phone
I hear you feel so alone
My baby
Oh my baby
Please my baby
My baby
When we were young
And truth was paramount
We were older then,
And we lived a life without any doubt
Those memories,
They seem so long ago
What's become of them? (They've all gone for sure)
When you feel like me I want you to know
Don't cry
Not alone
Don't cry tonight, my baby
Don't cry you'll always be loved
Don't cry tonight my baby
Today I dreamed
Of friends I had before
And I wonder why
The ones who care don't call anymore
My feelings hurt
But you know I overcome the pain
And I'm stronger now
There can't be a fire unless there's a flame
Don't cry
Your not alone
Don't cry tonight, my baby
Don't cry you'll always be loved
Don't cry oh
Limousines and sycophants
Don't leave me now,
'Cause I'm afraid what you've done to me
Is now the wolf
In my bed
In my head
In my head
In my head
The challenges, we took were hard enough
They get harder now
Even when we think that we've had enough
Don't feel alone,
'Cause it's I you understand
I'm your sedative,
Take a piece of me whenever you can
Don't cry you're not alone (don't be so hard on yourself)
Don't cry tonight my baby (these tears are for someone else)
Don't cry you'll always be loved (I hear your voice on the phone)
Don't cry tonight sweet baby (I hear you fear so alone)
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't you cry, cry
Don't cry 'cause you still be loved
Don't cry
Don't cry tonight, oh
My baby, my baby, my baby, my baby, my baby, my baby, my baby
My baby, my baby, my baby, my baby, my baby, my baby, my baby
My baby, my baby, my baby
Don't cry tonight
You'll still be loved
Those tears are for someone else
I hear your voice on the phone
I hear you feel so alone
My baby
Oh my baby
Please my baby
My baby
When we were young
And truth was paramount
We were older then,
And we lived a life without any doubt
Those memories,
They seem so long ago
What's become of them? (They've all gone for sure)
When you feel like me I want you to know
Don't cry
Not alone
Don't cry tonight, my baby
Don't cry you'll always be loved
Don't cry tonight my baby
Today I dreamed
Of friends I had before
And I wonder why
The ones who care don't call anymore
My feelings hurt
But you know I overcome the pain
And I'm stronger now
There can't be a fire unless there's a flame
Don't cry
Your not alone
Don't cry tonight, my baby
Don't cry you'll always be loved
Don't cry oh
Limousines and sycophants
Don't leave me now,
'Cause I'm afraid what you've done to me
Is now the wolf
In my bed
In my head
In my head
In my head
The challenges, we took were hard enough
They get harder now
Even when we think that we've had enough
Don't feel alone,
'Cause it's I you understand
I'm your sedative,
Take a piece of me whenever you can
Don't cry you're not alone (don't be so hard on yourself)
Don't cry tonight my baby (these tears are for someone else)
Don't cry you'll always be loved (I hear your voice on the phone)
Don't cry tonight sweet baby (I hear you fear so alone)
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't you cry, cry
Don't cry 'cause you still be loved
Don't cry
Don't cry tonight, oh
My baby, my baby, my baby, my baby, my baby, my baby, my baby
My baby, my baby, my baby, my baby, my baby, my baby, my baby
My baby, my baby, my baby
Don't cry tonight
You'll still be loved

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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
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.
Seal had Lupus?!? QUICK! CALL DR. HOUSE!!! (LOL! Just kidding).
Oh, and I must give production credits. Extremely well polished background layering you can only appreciate if you've listened to it for a couple months, sometimes years. He's amazing, and he's just got so much to say.
An idol to say the least, truly.
This is the song my boyfriend puts on whenever I'm feeling depressed and want a cuddle....
If anyone could take a comforting hug and make it into a song, this would be the song. Did I mention how much I love Seal's music? sighs and whines When's Tomorrowland gonna come out!?!
Seal speaks about his "limousines and sycophants", illusions of the substantive to make himself feel comfort, and as he is away from them, he feels naked to all the realities of living, and it is a sort of confession as he symphathizes with the listener who cries, in a figurative manner, or a literal.
And I'm stronger now, There can't be a fire unless there's a flame. i love that part. acoustic version is so awsum. such a sweet song. used to listen to this song when i was 7 and i used to hold mi teddy when mi family had big fights and mi stepdad wud get violent. love it
Only just realised this! Seal had Lupus as a kid, lupus is the latin for wolf. I'm pretty sure that's what he refers to as "the wolf in my bed", that he fears that what "you've done to me" has replaced his experiences of lupus, but he still is able to say "You'll always be loved"
I think there might be a few typos in this song.. I'm not for sure, but "I hear you 'fear' so alone.."? Shouldn't it be "feel"? And that part "cause it's I you understand".. I'm not sure that makes any sense.
I think actually it's "Cause it's I who understand..."
Someone back me up on this.
Sophisticated, but so so powerful.
Unlike most of his songs, which are generally much more accessable and easy to relate to, the verses in this one seem to be very personal and cryptic.
The best of his more popular works, by far.
The percussion commands such a presence throughout.
