Thanks To You

John Denver

Not so long ago, I packed my bags a hundred times
Didn't seem to know how to stop or to unwind
Goin' nowhere, a man without a dream

Guess my lucky star fell the day you came along
To my lonely heart you are like a special song
Singing sweetly your tender melody

Thanks to you
The child in me lives again
Thanks to you
I have found a peace within
I know where I'm goin' and what I want to do
Thanks to you

Lying in you arms I found my greatest pleasure
I look into your eyes and dream about forever

Wakin' up with you and lookin' forward to the day
What we plan to do, knowin' anything at all's okay
A life has a meaning
Love has got a name

Thanks to you
The child in me lives again
Thanks to you
I have found a peace within
I know where I'm goin' and what I want to do
Thanks to you

Thanks to you
The child in me lives again
Thanks to you
I have found a peace within
I know where I'm goin' and what I want to do
Thanks to you

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
