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”
Do the D-A-N-C-E
One, two, three, four, fight
Stick to the B-E-A-T
Get ready to ignite
You were such a P.Y.T
Catching all the lights
Just easy as A-B-C
That's how you make it right
Do the D-A-N-C-E
Stick to the B-E-A-T
Just easy as A-B-C
Do the dance, do the dance
The way you move is a mystery
Do the dance
You're always there for music and me
Do the dance
The way you move is a mystery
Do the dance
You're always there for music and me
Under the spotlight
Neither black nor white
It doesn't matter
Do the dance, do the dance
As strong as you might
Working day and night
Whatever happens
Do the dance, do the dance
Under the spotlight
Neither black nor white
It doesn't matter
Do the dance, do the dance
As strong as you might
Working day and night
Whatever happens
Do the dance, do the dance
The way you move is a mystery
Do the dance
You're always there for music and me
Do the dance
The way you move is a mystery
One, two, three, four, fight
Stick to the B-E-A-T
Get ready to ignite
You were such a P.Y.T
Catching all the lights
Just easy as A-B-C
That's how you make it right
Do the D-A-N-C-E
Stick to the B-E-A-T
Just easy as A-B-C
Do the dance, do the dance
The way you move is a mystery
Do the dance
You're always there for music and me
Do the dance
The way you move is a mystery
Do the dance
You're always there for music and me
Under the spotlight
Neither black nor white
It doesn't matter
Do the dance, do the dance
As strong as you might
Working day and night
Whatever happens
Do the dance, do the dance
Under the spotlight
Neither black nor white
It doesn't matter
Do the dance, do the dance
As strong as you might
Working day and night
Whatever happens
Do the dance, do the dance
The way you move is a mystery
Do the dance
You're always there for music and me
Do the dance
The way you move is a mystery

@[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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Just A Little Lovin'

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/

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
catchy
it's "1, 2, 3, 4, Fight!"
I watched it again, you're right!
What does "P.Y.T" mean?
Pretty Young Thang as in Michael JAckson's song PYT
Pretty Young Thing, from a Michael Jackson song (with that same name) on Thriller:
I Want To Love You (P.Y.T.) Pretty Young Thing You Need Some Lovin' (T.L.C.) Tender Lovin' Care
(@ urban dictionary)
this song sounds very Jackson 5ish, actually. not that it necessarily relates.
it's clearly about michael jackson, "Easy as ABC" "PYT" and neither Black or White or enough to give it away. I'm not sure what working day or night is
working day and night is also another line from a Michael Jackson song. "Off the Wall" I believe which is also an album title.
scratch that. "working day and night" is a song on the Off the Wall album, though the song Off the Wall doesn't have the line working day and night in it.... although if you listen to the lyrics it's the same concept of being tired in your job. See- "When the world is on your shoulder. Gotta straighten up your act and boogie down....tonight gotta leave that 9-5 up on the shelf, and just enjoy yourself"
Nah I just watched the video and it says fight clearly on his t-shirt... youtube.com/watch look at it. Amaze song though!
Yup, I saw that too. Thanks though :P
jesus. i love this song so much right now.
love this song, love the video. AHH
