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.
Call me up and that's all I need
Bring your loving, smiling face over
I feel like, getting it right
Overnight, start over
I thought playing that loving game
Would never be simple again
But you're staying overnight
So maybe I'm doing something right
You can feel it in the trees
I feel it by degrees
Feel it fresh and new
I'm getting myself in love with you
The sun will rise up and you'll be in freedom
So much freer than you were before
It's in the seed now, it's in the season
I'm so excited it's knocking down your door
And they say, it's such a funny story
After a winter of getting dull and blue like a Tory
In getting all feared up, as the bond that ties
Cries, lies, incites the tears to your eyes
And the job will know I'm insane
To go running from love again
Into a lover's arms
Like a burglar running out on an alarm
It's a fucking swarm of bees
Or some waitress, it's a tease
Or some song was full of light
Coming 'round to you late at night
The sun will rise up, and you'll be in freedom
So much freer than you were before
It's in the seed now, it's in the season
I'm so excited it's knocking down your door
The sun will rise up and I will wise up
So much freer than we were before
It's in your CD, it's fucking teaming
Saw it around you taking you on a tour
And now, now, call the fuzz, it's such a buzz
From the start
You press the memory
You press the memory to your heart
What you waiting for?
A fallen love is an idea for sure
What you waiting for?
Like there was any law
She's like a sonnet, she's so on it
From the start
You press the memory
You press the memory to your heart
What you waiting for?
Fallen love's an idea for sure
What you waiting for?
Like there was any law
The sun will rise up, you'll be in freedom
So much freer than you were before
It's in the seed now, it's in the season
So excited it's knocking down your door
You'll bring that blessing
We'll sing the rest in
Freedom, to prisoner, to freedom
Bring your loving, smiling face over
I feel like, getting it right
Overnight, start over
I thought playing that loving game
Would never be simple again
But you're staying overnight
So maybe I'm doing something right
You can feel it in the trees
I feel it by degrees
Feel it fresh and new
I'm getting myself in love with you
The sun will rise up and you'll be in freedom
So much freer than you were before
It's in the seed now, it's in the season
I'm so excited it's knocking down your door
And they say, it's such a funny story
After a winter of getting dull and blue like a Tory
In getting all feared up, as the bond that ties
Cries, lies, incites the tears to your eyes
And the job will know I'm insane
To go running from love again
Into a lover's arms
Like a burglar running out on an alarm
It's a fucking swarm of bees
Or some waitress, it's a tease
Or some song was full of light
Coming 'round to you late at night
The sun will rise up, and you'll be in freedom
So much freer than you were before
It's in the seed now, it's in the season
I'm so excited it's knocking down your door
The sun will rise up and I will wise up
So much freer than we were before
It's in your CD, it's fucking teaming
Saw it around you taking you on a tour
And now, now, call the fuzz, it's such a buzz
From the start
You press the memory
You press the memory to your heart
What you waiting for?
A fallen love is an idea for sure

You press the memory to your heart

So much freer than you were before

You'll bring that blessing
We'll sing the rest in
Freedom, to prisoner, to freedom

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/
