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.
With a black heart undercover, watching you sleep every night.
"I wish you'd watch me too..." We're made for each other
Honey if you only knew, every night I'm watching you...
Shut up you're talking to loud for me to not listen.
This operation's gotten old, the face I stole, the gun of
lust shot through your soul, and all that's left is empty holes.
Mom and Dad can't help you anymore Get in the car we'll drive far to the end of the shore
Under the docks, on top of the rocks, "Knock knock knock knock
Why the fuck are the doors locked?!"
Maybe she forgot about our talks, or maybe I'm mistaken,
But I swear to god that she's not getting out of this without some kind of explanation,
Oh I'm straining on your patience? Maybe scaring you a little?
Just because I came to visit doesn't mean you have to hide.
I'll be waiting on the side of your house,
With an empty bodybag
And a loaded .45
And then you wont forget my fucking name!
You're tearing me up, inside my mind.
You walked in front, I ran behind...
"I wish you'd watch me too..." We're made for each other
Honey if you only knew, every night I'm watching you...
Shut up you're talking to loud for me to not listen.
This operation's gotten old, the face I stole, the gun of
lust shot through your soul, and all that's left is empty holes.
Mom and Dad can't help you anymore Get in the car we'll drive far to the end of the shore
Under the docks, on top of the rocks, "Knock knock knock knock
Why the fuck are the doors locked?!"
Maybe she forgot about our talks, or maybe I'm mistaken,
But I swear to god that she's not getting out of this without some kind of explanation,
Oh I'm straining on your patience? Maybe scaring you a little?
Just because I came to visit doesn't mean you have to hide.
I'll be waiting on the side of your house,
With an empty bodybag
And a loaded .45
And then you wont forget my fucking name!
You're tearing me up, inside my mind.
You walked in front, I ran behind...

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
The actor's name is Macaulay Culkin. I wonder why they called it "McCulkin". Maybe just to repeat the "Mac" sound.
