This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
o beautiful, for spacious skies i put aside.
purple majesty, you restless thing.
don't abandon me.
maybe i've lost my faith in history,
and the only thing i believe in now
is the sound of the atlantic.
o beautiful, from sea to sea, famously shining.
o beautiful, for gravity.
be with me through this century.
in the east the sun rises, there are hurricanes.
i can taste the salt water.
and when the earth is only dust and brine,
we'll eat the salt water taffy.
purple majesty, you restless thing.
don't abandon me.
maybe i've lost my faith in history,
and the only thing i believe in now
is the sound of the atlantic.
o beautiful, from sea to sea, famously shining.
o beautiful, for gravity.
be with me through this century.
in the east the sun rises, there are hurricanes.
i can taste the salt water.
and when the earth is only dust and brine,
we'll eat the salt water taffy.

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/

rainer maria is so amazing. this, like many other of their songs are so relaxing. and her voice is so beautiful.
simply beautiful. "maybe i've lost my faith in history, and the only thing i believe in now is the sound of the atlantic" yes. this is how i feel.
The whole Atlantic EP is about leaving Wisconsin and moving to New York. "Nuts to the past, let's go east and find something new".
