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.
Take my shoulder to cry
This is deeper
And we're all family here
Take my hand and don't ask why
There's a spirit and it's passing by
Don't you ever worry
Don't you ever worry
Don't you ever worry
Don't you ever worry
I'll tell you a story
Of a danger
That we can't forget
It starts with an F
It gets stranger
And it ends in use
And the same old thing
Is haunting you forever
When you change the frame
The next scene gets better
Take my shoulder to cry
It gets deeper
It gets deeper
(Whoa)
Don't you every worry here
All there is to fear is fear
Don't you ever worry here
All there is to fear is fear
Dont you ever worry
This is deeper
This is family
This is deeper
This is family
This is deeper
(Dont you ever worry here all there is to fear is fear)
This is family
(Dont you ever worry here all there is to fear is fear)
(Dont you ever worry here all there is to fear is fear)
This is deeper
And we're all family here
Take my hand and don't ask why
There's a spirit and it's passing by
Don't you ever worry
Don't you ever worry
Don't you ever worry
Don't you ever worry
I'll tell you a story
Of a danger
That we can't forget
It starts with an F
It gets stranger
And it ends in use
And the same old thing
Is haunting you forever
When you change the frame
The next scene gets better
Take my shoulder to cry
It gets deeper
It gets deeper
(Whoa)
Don't you every worry here
All there is to fear is fear
Don't you ever worry here
All there is to fear is fear
Dont you ever worry
This is deeper
This is family
This is deeper
This is family
This is deeper
(Dont you ever worry here all there is to fear is fear)
This is family
(Dont you ever worry here all there is to fear is fear)
(Dont you ever worry here all there is to fear is fear)

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
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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Take my shoulder to cry This is deeper and we're all family here Take my hand and don't ask why There's a spirit and it's passing by
Don't you ever worry....
I'll tell you a story about danger that we can't forget It's starts with an F, it gets stranger and it ends in ears And the same old thing keeps haunting you forever When you change the frame the next scene gets better
Take my shoulder to cry It gets deeper... It gets deeper...
Forever... Don't you ever worry here All there is to fear is fear Don't you ever worry...
This is deeper, this is family This is deeper, this is family Don't you ever worry here All there is to fear is fear
Forever...
those are the right lyrics, straight off of purevolume.
