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.
Do me a favor
And tell me what you think about me
Tell me how you want this to be
Go out on a limb and just dream
Paint a picture
Choose your colors extra wise
Especially what you put on my mind
Fill me in so I can fly high tonight
Woahooo your thoughts are gonna lift me up
Do you know its good to want too much
[Chorus]
Oh you've got my head in the clouds
And oh you've got me comin' around
The more you think about me
The more that I believe
That nothings ever out of reach
So dream dream dream
I breathe your visions
They pull me through the coldest of nights
They steer me towards a moment in time
When you show me what it means for you to be mine, Yea
Whoaooo your givin' me the will to try
And you know there's desire in these eyes
[Chorus]
Hah, it's like my birthday
Every time you look at me
I feel the earthquake
Every time that you dream
Whoaooo your thoughts are gonna lift me up
Do you know, its good to want to much, much
Oh you make me dance in the rain
And oh I want to love once again
The more you think about me
The more that I believe
That nothing's ever out of reach
So dream dream dream
Dream
The more you think about me
The more that I believe
That nothing's ever out of reach
So dream dream dream
Dream
And tell me what you think about me
Tell me how you want this to be
Go out on a limb and just dream
Paint a picture
Choose your colors extra wise
Especially what you put on my mind
Fill me in so I can fly high tonight
Woahooo your thoughts are gonna lift me up
Do you know its good to want too much
[Chorus]
Oh you've got my head in the clouds
And oh you've got me comin' around
The more you think about me
The more that I believe
That nothings ever out of reach
So dream dream dream
I breathe your visions
They pull me through the coldest of nights
They steer me towards a moment in time
When you show me what it means for you to be mine, Yea
Whoaooo your givin' me the will to try
And you know there's desire in these eyes
[Chorus]
Hah, it's like my birthday
Every time you look at me
I feel the earthquake
Every time that you dream
Whoaooo your thoughts are gonna lift me up
Do you know, its good to want to much, much
Oh you make me dance in the rain
And oh I want to love once again
The more you think about me
The more that I believe
That nothing's ever out of reach
So dream dream dream
Dream
The more you think about me
The more that I believe
That nothing's ever out of reach
So dream dream dream
Dream

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/
