C'est le temps de l'amour
Le temps des copains et de l'aventure
Quand le temps va et vient
On ne pense à rien malgré ses blessures
Car le temps de l'amour
C'est long et c'est court
Ça dure toujours, on s'en souvient

On se dit qu'à vingt ans on est les rois du monde
Et qu'éternellement il y aura dans nos yeux
Tout le ciel bleu

C'est le temps de l'amour
Le temps des copains et de l'aventure
Quand le temps va et vient
On ne pense à rien malgré ses blessures
Car le temps de l'amour
Ça vous met au cœur
Beaucoup de chaleur et de bonheur

Un beau jour c'est l'amour et le cœur bat plus vite
Car la vie suit son cours
Et l'on est tout heureux d'être amoureux

C'est le temps de l'amour
Le temps des copains et de l'aventure
Quand le temps va et vient
On ne pense à rien malgré ses blessures
Car le temps de l'amour
C'est long et c'est court
Ça dure toujours, on s'en souvient
On s'en souvient
On s'en souvient
On s'en souvient

    First heard this recently in the Wes Anderson film "Moonrise Kingdom". And now I'm obsessed with it! Love the understated sound, the echoey atmospherics, and the lyrics describing the fleeting nature of being young.

    Such a romantic song about "the time of love". I love Francoise Hardy's voice.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Just A Little Lovin'
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 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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
