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.
whispered melodies and a sound of your voice
traverse thru my mind and leave me with no choice
now it's tomorrow, the days have turned to grey
with it your absense that made you feel this way
and no one knew what you felt would hurt us all...
no one knew you, but they're all here to watch you fall
angels in your words open my mind
i'm overcome with sorrow, i'm overcome by time
now it's tomorrow, the days have turned to grey
with it a promise that made you turn away
and no one knew you, what you felt would hurt us all.
no one knew you, but they're all here to watch you fall,
to watch you fail...
traverse thru my mind and leave me with no choice
now it's tomorrow, the days have turned to grey
with it your absense that made you feel this way
and no one knew what you felt would hurt us all...
no one knew you, but they're all here to watch you fall
angels in your words open my mind
i'm overcome with sorrow, i'm overcome by time
now it's tomorrow, the days have turned to grey
with it a promise that made you turn away
and no one knew you, what you felt would hurt us all.
no one knew you, but they're all here to watch you fall,
to watch you fail...

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/
