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.
If I could, take a trip, to outer space
She would be the one, I would see
When I get, to heavens gate
She would welcome me with her arms, open wide, and a smile
Will shadow me brighter than the sun
She hasn't had a fair chance, so I'll give her one
Let me tell you who she is, yeah
She's a fallen angel, sent from heaven up above
She's a fallen angel, waiting for me to love her, yeah
(Know that she's) She's a fallen angel, take your judgment off her
I know, that she's a fallen angel
You know, maybe I should
Help her mend, her broken wings
So she can fly again
But I don't, wanna lose everything that I've gained
It's turning me a selfish man (oh)
'Cause without her my heart just don't go, no more (no more)
I couldn't take the pain, from watching her fly away
So say that you'll stay
She's mine
She's a fallen angel, ooh sent from heaven up above
She's a fallen angel, waiting for me to love her, yeah
(Know that she's) She's a fallen angel, so take your judgment off her
I know, that she's a fallen angel
Don't you
Baby don't you (don't you worry) worry
I'm goin' help you (I'm goin' help you ) fly
(I'm goin' help you fly)
Just take me under your (take me under) wings
And we can reach the (we can reach the) sky
(We can reach the sky)
Baby don't you (don't you worry) worry
I'm goin' help you (I'm goin' help you ) fly
(I'm goin' help you fly)
Lil' mama, don't you (take me under) worry
You goin' reach the (we can reach the) sky
(We can reach the sky)
She's a
She's a fallen angel, hey hey sent from heaven up above, just for me
She's a fallen angel, waiting for me to wrap my heart around her now
(Know that she's) She's a fallen angel, take your judgment off her
I know, that she's a fallen angel
Baby, I know
I know that they done hurt you
But I'm here
Let's take it all away
So if you let me
You know what, just put your heart in my hands
And everything they say, I take it back
Like this
You don't mean nothing
I don't want ya
I don't need ya
Never loved ya
You're a nobody
And never make it
You're a mistake (oh)
She would be the one, I would see
When I get, to heavens gate

Will shadow me brighter than the sun

She's a fallen angel, sent from heaven up above
She's a fallen angel, waiting for me to love her, yeah

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”
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
This song is about a girl who is looked at as a nobody,or a girl who did wrong. The song is saying that no matter what happened in your past he still cares about her,despite what everyone says about her.
@amazingasalways time sure does fly.
