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.
Noone Knows The Soul Of Tears And Why Can't We See Human
Indignity Who Will Laugh At The Growing Suffering The Bleeding
Rapidly Breeding Increasing The Clock Is Ticking On Before Us
Constantly Running Hypnotized Energized By Naivety Take A Pick
At Random Choose Our Future To Be Crawling In The Mess Of
Stupidity We Won't Hear When We're Dead And Gone We Trust In
Lies Or A Fake Paradise Are We Blinded Til' The Bitter End Decided
Or Maybe Very Misguided Travelling Through Endless Times
Inside Of Nothingness Reaching For A New Belief In Vain Insane
Our Molded Lives An Ever Catatonic Flow We're Rejected Ever
More By Lucidity Why Strange Why Why Change Why Not Suicide
No Strange No No Change No Not Suicide With Ears That Are Shut
To The Inner Voice We're Giving In To The Shattering Tell Me How
Can We Take It Tell Me Why Are We Here Hanging In The Balance Of
Deceit And Blasphemy Paralyzed In Sightless Drains Ignorant
And Still No Panic Is There No Way To Be Free No Why Me Not Us
Why Not Blind Strange Blind Blind Change Blind Suicide Damn
Faith Damn Damn Lies Why
Indignity Who Will Laugh At The Growing Suffering The Bleeding
Rapidly Breeding Increasing The Clock Is Ticking On Before Us
Constantly Running Hypnotized Energized By Naivety Take A Pick
At Random Choose Our Future To Be Crawling In The Mess Of
Stupidity We Won't Hear When We're Dead And Gone We Trust In
Lies Or A Fake Paradise Are We Blinded Til' The Bitter End Decided
Or Maybe Very Misguided Travelling Through Endless Times
Inside Of Nothingness Reaching For A New Belief In Vain Insane
Our Molded Lives An Ever Catatonic Flow We're Rejected Ever
More By Lucidity Why Strange Why Why Change Why Not Suicide
No Strange No No Change No Not Suicide With Ears That Are Shut
To The Inner Voice We're Giving In To The Shattering Tell Me How
Can We Take It Tell Me Why Are We Here Hanging In The Balance Of
Deceit And Blasphemy Paralyzed In Sightless Drains Ignorant
And Still No Panic Is There No Way To Be Free No Why Me Not Us
Why Not Blind Strange Blind Blind Change Blind Suicide Damn
Faith Damn Damn Lies Why

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
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/
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
obviously about religion, particularly the abrahamic faiths, which misguide some into believing there is something after death while our real life, the only life we get, slowly ticks away until our death and we waste our lives preparing an afterlife that does not exist.
