This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I cut corners on the carpets now
I dance quarters on the windowsill
The summer left me to a different fate
This drastic urge will take some time to find its way
I run head on into traffic in the afternoon
I log the longest miles alone at night inside my room
Where all directions lead right back to me
All my ambitions swim like driftwood through my dark sea of sleep
And it will take some time
Yeah it'll take some time
But the dawn will come
Yeah the tide will rise
Her eyes swelled up in the bars soft lights
I drank and watched her laugh
And then we sang loud in the dying streets
And I was so drunk my heart floated like a feather in the breeze
I got so high off all the blinking lights
The colors painted in the night
Midsummer Classic blue and gold
The city casts its shadow
The kettle boil heads for a roll
Sundownings never getting old
And underneath this crooked moon
I can smell the night begin to bloom
The northern wind will change again
Then my geography will bend
Back and forth across the map until I reach the end
Back and forth across the map until I reach the end
And it'll take some time
Yeah it'll take some time
But the dawn will come
Yeah the tide will rise
Yeah
I dance quarters on the windowsill
The summer left me to a different fate
This drastic urge will take some time to find its way
I run head on into traffic in the afternoon
I log the longest miles alone at night inside my room
Where all directions lead right back to me
All my ambitions swim like driftwood through my dark sea of sleep
And it will take some time
Yeah it'll take some time
But the dawn will come
Yeah the tide will rise
Her eyes swelled up in the bars soft lights
I drank and watched her laugh
And then we sang loud in the dying streets
And I was so drunk my heart floated like a feather in the breeze
I got so high off all the blinking lights
The colors painted in the night
Midsummer Classic blue and gold
The city casts its shadow
The kettle boil heads for a roll
Sundownings never getting old
And underneath this crooked moon
I can smell the night begin to bloom
The northern wind will change again
Then my geography will bend
Back and forth across the map until I reach the end
Back and forth across the map until I reach the end
And it'll take some time
Yeah it'll take some time
But the dawn will come
Yeah the tide will rise
Yeah

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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.
It sounds like this song is about being depressed. The first verse is about being unmotivated.
In the 2nd verse he's sitting in his room dwelling on all his mistakes
I haven't really figured anything about the 3rd verse.
In my opinion the 4th verse is what ties the name of the band, the cover art, and pretty much the entire cd together. Incase anyone doesn't know Sundowning is defined as "The onset or exacerbation of delirium during the evening or night with improvement or disappearance during the day; most often seen in mid and later stages of dementing disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease." (cancerweb.ncl.ac.uk/cgi-bin/omd)
when he refers to "sundowning never getting old" and "my geography will bend", he's talking about drinking. When you get drunk your personality changes, and the next day you wake up as you were before you started drinking. Which explains the abstract shape on the cover, and the reoccuring theme of alcoholism throughout the cd.
and the chorus is about realizing that eventually you'll get over what ever is depressing you, it's just going to take time.
Best song on the album.
no question about it
The title of the song references the Major League Baseball All-Star Game, which is always referred to as the "midsummer classic" because it takes place during July each year.
Chris has said in an interview type thingy on BBC Radio One that this song is meant to be about him touring
I always thought that "my geography will bend" referred to travelling of some kind.
