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.
So if you like coke
And you like dope
You're my kind of people
(My kind of people)
You're my kind of people
(My kind of people)
And if you're good
I knew you would
You're my kind of people
(My kind of people)
You're my kind of people
(My kind of people)
My name is sugar, spread sweet as a candy shop
Give the valet the car keys of the candy drop
Now gather round y'all, here comes a sight to see
Me and Menta'll come and kill 'em consecutively
I walk through the door, I don't even look at the line
Smokin' pine, standin' under the exit sign
Shorty greets me with a grin and she starts to grind
We're havin' big fun till the sun starts to shine
So if you like coke
And you like dope
You're my kind of people
(My kind of people)
You're my kind of people
(My kind of people)
A little rock and roll
A whole lot of soul
You're my kind of people
(My kind of people)
You're my kind of people
(My kind of people)
We gon' drank good, gon' smoke good
The interior is all oak wood
You know how me and my folks do it
It's A-Town, we don't play around
78 Sevilles on Ferris wheels
Where it's at? There it is
Did you like that? Well, then write back
Matter fact, wait a minute, I'll be right back
(Skuurt)
I'm back what's up now
I done went and got my truck now
I'm a lone dude comin', good luck now
Somebody else wants to fuck now
Now you know 'Lo and his cognac
He done been to the moon, have you done that?
Get on in and lemme show you the world
Lemme use my kind of people, girl
So if you like coke
And you like dope
You're my kind of people
(My kind of people)
You're my kind of people
(My kind of people)
And if you're good
I knew you would
You're my kind of people
(My kind of people)
You're my kind of people
(My kind of people)
Now I can smell it, somebody put good grain in the air
(Ain't nothin' better than some real good music)
And there's a lot of fine ass women everywhere
(Oh 'cause your eyes are just that no good)
Ain't nothin' wrong with dancin' and drinkin' and havin' fun
(Girl, get on the floor, put your back into it)
Why won't you take your dead ass home if you ain't havin', none?
(Don't just stand around and just watch us do it)
So if you like coke
And you like dope
You're my kind of people

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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/
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.
