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.
Summerburst
I'm shedding darkness like a hood
winter is fading and it's good
i'm burning down the avenue
nothing is real but this feels true
all this time
i was sleeping
now i'm awake
sun is peaking
new adventure
waking up
break indenture
United!
i'm fueled by nitrous in my heart
i'll leave the ashes at the start
i'm fueled by hope of things to come
i'm fuckin' negative
& that's why i've begun
so........

waking up
break indenture

i'm fueled by nitrous in my heart
i'll leave the ashes at the start

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.
greatest summer road trip song ever, even though I think its just about hope.
Yeah it seems to be about hope, using imagery of hibernating and waking up as winter turns to spring (and summer). and dont worry, you arent the last punk kid
