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.
Universal B-boy, looking for the perfect beat
Mortal motivations, looking for the perfect beat
Mighty Zulu Nation, they have found the perfect beat
Afrika Bambaataa, I present the perfect beat beat beat beat
Looking for the perfect beat (Searching for the perfect beat)
Looking for the perfect beat (Seeking for the perfect beat)
I must get mine (I'm out to get it)
I must get mine (I'm out to get it)
Now in this world of music, there are many different tones (Tell 'em)
If there's no satisfaction, just pay for some action (Listen up)
On your radio, you hear perfect beats playing (Hey)
If it makes you satisfied, just get a pony and ride! (Giddy up!)
Well if you're looking for the perfect beat, people
Well here's a perfect beat for ya
So ? with a chorus you can sing, round up!

Students, of the music, at every single age
Must exercise the quotes of Shakespeare, with this life upon a stage
When we say life you know that's right, has a meaning
Our music does complete it
And all the things that we want to keep teasing, teasing, teasing
Looking for the perfect beat, people
Well here's a perfect beat for ya
Looking for the perfect beat
Looking for the perfect beat
Looking for the perfect beat

Looking for the perfect beat party, the one with the top sure shot mix
Stop a futuristic hit dance, just party (Get loose, get loose)
Every time we get into it, makes us wheel and deal
Brings out the very best in us, that is for real
Now this is what you gotta do (This is what you gotta do)
This is a thing you must to, round up!
Music is a must, the rhythm moves the women
To a spacy romantic ocean that's ?
Perfer or every moment, is a space on the parade
With the psychadelic shades, make you party party, everybody
Now this is what you gotta do (This is what you gotta do)
This is a thing you must to, round up!

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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/
I know, me too! Pisses me off.
