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.
i bite my lip too much but it's okay
cause i had you once
you disappeared on me but i'm not angry
i miss you
i miss you
i take too many pills but it's okay
cause i had you once
one day i won't wake up
well i'll be happy
you'll miss me
you'll miss me
nothing left to
complain about
no more drinking
no more going out
no more violence
no more bravery
no more intercourse
no more easy
just a hand shake
from me to you
scaly skin disease
has got inside of you
no more intercourse
no more easy
no more easy
cause i had you once
you disappeared on me but i'm not angry
i miss you
i miss you
i take too many pills but it's okay
cause i had you once
one day i won't wake up
well i'll be happy
you'll miss me
you'll miss me
nothing left to
complain about
no more drinking
no more going out
no more violence
no more bravery
no more intercourse
no more easy
just a hand shake
from me to you
scaly skin disease
has got inside of you
no more intercourse
no more easy
no more easy

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/

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.
What a delightfully spiteful song. Someone has really done a number on them and made them quite depressed - to the point of threatening suicide a low key threat so they recognise that they still cared - "You'll miss me".
