Anka

1. Diana (2:18) - The tempo is moderately fast. More often in a relationship, the guy is older. But in this case, the gal is the narrator's senior, probably by about 10 years. He doesn't care about the age gap or what people think; he asks her to stay beside him forever.

2. Put Your Head On My Shoulder (2:33) - This moderately slow, 12/8 song features chimes, a guitar, and a piano, but I mostly hear drums and vocals. Love may be a losing game, but the narrator is deeply enough in love with the girl not to care if he's a fool rushing in. He asks her to rest on his shoulder, whisper in his hear, and tell him she loves him. Just before the end, the song slows down temporarily, then resumes normal tempo.
