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.
It's a rainy night
So take this down to get it right
The drops hit cold and hard
But around the noise we're good
You're on your way, you're goin' strong
As for now we're just along
You're on your way, you're big, you're strong
As for me I hope I'm wrong
It's so loud it hurts sometimes
It's getting faster every night
I'd like to single out
Every smack against my head
You're on your way, you're goin' strong
As for now we're just along
You're on your way, you're big, you're strong
As for me I hope I'm wrong
It's coming out
I wait for this for my enjoyment
Never let go
All the things you say to me
But when you have to go
For everything you'll have to be
I'll never let go
To all the things you say
I will not go
I will not go
You're on your way, you're goin' strong
As for now we're just along
You're on your way, you're big, you're strong
As for me I hope I'm wrong
So take this down to get it right
The drops hit cold and hard
But around the noise we're good
You're on your way, you're goin' strong
As for now we're just along
You're on your way, you're big, you're strong
As for me I hope I'm wrong
It's so loud it hurts sometimes
It's getting faster every night
I'd like to single out
Every smack against my head
You're on your way, you're goin' strong
As for now we're just along
You're on your way, you're big, you're strong
As for me I hope I'm wrong
It's coming out
I wait for this for my enjoyment
Never let go
All the things you say to me
But when you have to go
For everything you'll have to be
I'll never let go
To all the things you say
I will not go
I will not go
You're on your way, you're goin' strong
As for now we're just along
You're on your way, you're big, you're strong
As for me I hope I'm wrong

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.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
this song rocks HARD. surprised nobody has said that yet. the Early November are gonna be huge, Drive-thru Records are some lucky bastards.
to me this song is about someone who is good friends with another person but somewhere along the way the other person succeeds more at things than the other. the first person is tired of having to admit to the other person's so-called-success. it seems like they're ignoring any opinions because they're so blinded by jealousy, but in reality they're the one that is succeeding in their own dreams.
this song is the best one on the for all this album, its sick and deep, i love it dearly
I love this song The early november are one of my favourite bands.
isnt this song.. take time AND find? well idk.. but yes this song rocksssss : )
