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.
[Chorus: x3]
I want to be
I want to be
All to myself
[Bridge]
Take me from this day
Save me from the sun ray
Some day something's got to get on my nerves
I can't wait for the day that I can let my concerns go of me, can't you see
It's how I feel in my mind
I can move, I can hear I can see, why don't you feel me
[Chorus]
I want to be
I want to be
All to myself
[Bridge]
Take me from this day
Save me from the sun ray
Some day something's got to get on my nerves
I can't wait for the day that I can let my concerns go of me can't you see
It's how I feel in my mind
I can move I can hear I can see why don't you feel me
[Chorus]
I want to be
I want to be
All to myself
Some day something's got to get on my nerves
I can't wait for the day that I can let my concerns go of me can't you see
It's how I feel in my mind
I can move I can hear I can see why don't you feel me
[Chorus]
I want to be
I want to be
All to myself
I want to be
I want to be
All to myself
[Bridge]
Take me from this day
Save me from the sun ray
Some day something's got to get on my nerves
I can't wait for the day that I can let my concerns go of me, can't you see
It's how I feel in my mind
I can move, I can hear I can see, why don't you feel me
[Chorus]
I want to be
I want to be
All to myself
[Bridge]
Take me from this day
Save me from the sun ray
Some day something's got to get on my nerves
I can't wait for the day that I can let my concerns go of me can't you see
It's how I feel in my mind
I can move I can hear I can see why don't you feel me
[Chorus]
I want to be
I want to be
All to myself
Some day something's got to get on my nerves
I can't wait for the day that I can let my concerns go of me can't you see
It's how I feel in my mind
I can move I can hear I can see why don't you feel me
[Chorus]
I want to be
I want to be
All to myself

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/
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.
Page

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Is it just me or does anyone else thing that the very opening part of the song sounds a lot like something Pink Floyd would do?
this song kicks ass. the way "take me" and the drums kick off each verse is awesome, and the guitar solo after the second verse if my favorite part of this whole album
as for the meaning, it's pretty self-explanatory
