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.
Everything unfolds in perfect sequence
Like a dance
Then I wake from a dream with an angel holding me
Hm holding me
Everything unfolds in perfect sequence
Like a dance
Then I wake from a dream with an angel holding me
Hm holding me
But this is the party I want to be at
This is the party I want to be at
I scream
Leave me here
Mmm leave me here
Leave me here to find my joy the way I want to
Leave me here to find the spark that never goes away
Never goes away, never goes away never goes away
Hm leave me here
Leave me here to find my joy the way I want to
Leave me here to find the spark that never goes away
Leave me here to find my joy the way I'm dreaming
Leave me here to find the spark that never goes away
Love should make you crazy
Love should make you crazy
Love should make you crazy
Hm leave me here
Everything was there within a moment
I watched you
So I walked into the room with your eyes lingering
Everything was there within a moment
I wanted you
So I walked into the room with my eyes lingering
Hm lingering
Now this is the party I want to be at
This is the party I want to be at
I scream
Leave me here
Leave me here to find my joy the way I want to
Leave me here to find the spark that never goes away
Leave me here to find the joy the way I'm dreaming
Leave me here to find the joy the way I want to
Leave me here to find the spark that never goes away
Love should make you crazy
Love should make you crazy
Love should make you crazy
Hm life should make you crazy, life should make you crazy
Like a dance
Then I wake from a dream with an angel holding me
Hm holding me
Everything unfolds in perfect sequence
Like a dance
Then I wake from a dream with an angel holding me
Hm holding me
But this is the party I want to be at
This is the party I want to be at
I scream
Leave me here
Mmm leave me here
Leave me here to find my joy the way I want to
Leave me here to find the spark that never goes away
Never goes away, never goes away never goes away
Hm leave me here
Leave me here to find my joy the way I want to
Leave me here to find the spark that never goes away
Leave me here to find my joy the way I'm dreaming
Leave me here to find the spark that never goes away
Love should make you crazy
Love should make you crazy
Love should make you crazy
Hm leave me here
Everything was there within a moment
I watched you
So I walked into the room with your eyes lingering
Everything was there within a moment
I wanted you
So I walked into the room with my eyes lingering
Hm lingering
Now this is the party I want to be at
This is the party I want to be at
I scream
Leave me here
Leave me here to find my joy the way I want to
Leave me here to find the spark that never goes away
Leave me here to find the joy the way I'm dreaming
Leave me here to find the joy the way I want to
Leave me here to find the spark that never goes away
Love should make you crazy
Love should make you crazy
Love should make you crazy
Hm life should make you crazy, life should make you crazy

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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/

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.
