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.
This is as quiet as it gets
Hush down now, go to sleep
We were once perfect, me and you
Will never leave this room
Hush, you color my eyes red
Your love's not live it's dead
This letter's written itself
Inside out again
When rivers turn to roads
And lovers become trends
Hush, this is where it ends
This is where it ends
This is the calming before the storm
This absolution is always incomplete
It's always bittersweet
Hush, you color my eyes red
Your love's not live it's dead
This letter's written itself
Inside out again
When rivers turn to roads
And lovers become trends
Hush, this is where it ends
I won't make a sound so you don't wake
You don't wake, you don't wake
You don't wake
Hush, you color my eyes red
Your love's not live it's dead
This letter's written itself
Inside out again
When rivers turn to roads
And lovers become trends
Hush, this is where it ends
Hush, hush, hush, hush
This is where it ends
Hush down now, go to sleep
We were once perfect, me and you
Will never leave this room
Hush, you color my eyes red
Your love's not live it's dead
This letter's written itself
Inside out again
When rivers turn to roads
And lovers become trends
Hush, this is where it ends
This is where it ends
This is the calming before the storm
This absolution is always incomplete
It's always bittersweet
Hush, you color my eyes red
Your love's not live it's dead
This letter's written itself
Inside out again
When rivers turn to roads
And lovers become trends
Hush, this is where it ends
I won't make a sound so you don't wake
You don't wake, you don't wake
You don't wake
Hush, you color my eyes red
Your love's not live it's dead
This letter's written itself
Inside out again
When rivers turn to roads
And lovers become trends
Hush, this is where it ends
Hush, hush, hush, hush
This is where it ends

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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Beautiful voice, I'm in love with the piano.
