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.
Reaching around my pockets for the right wors.
It's been a long couple of years draggin' ass for a dollar here and there.
Just looking for a minute or a thank you for the effort.
I don't care to be here.
Cause my time, my time is running out the sun's too fat to climb up the horizon.
Its been too long a walk not to be headed anywhere.
I've been just digging all around for something like the truth that luxury that writhers in all thats fleeting, fading hues.
But in the meantime I'll say thanks.
My mind, my mind is running out.;
I appreciate the extra weight.
Its been too long a walk not to be headed anywhere.
Too far along I have come.
Too fara along to give up.
It's been a long couple of years draggin' ass for a dollar here and there.
Just looking for a minute or a thank you for the effort.
I don't care to be here.
Cause my time, my time is running out the sun's too fat to climb up the horizon.
Its been too long a walk not to be headed anywhere.
I've been just digging all around for something like the truth that luxury that writhers in all thats fleeting, fading hues.
But in the meantime I'll say thanks.
My mind, my mind is running out.;
I appreciate the extra weight.
Its been too long a walk not to be headed anywhere.
Too far along I have come.
Too fara along to give up.

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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
I really like this song, I think it's about someone that is going through their life and has a confident idea about where they want to take their life. Only problem is they don't know how to get there , they just want someone to back them up and support them. Motivate them? then they realize that life's too damn short to be going no where you you're going to have to find your damn way in this world one way or another so make this shit count.
the line "too far along to give up" makes me think of the band not wanting to let ther work go to waste after sonny left by splitting up, like theyve gone through too much to give up on it all. bt the rest doesnt realy tie in with that :/. great song anyway =]
yeah i agree with xkate_muchx. It is about how they have made it so far to give in and a spilt up. Cuse sonny left. "Cause my time, my time is running out " there time may be running out but there not going to given in until it does
Lol it's not about the band. Obviously if they made a new album without him they don't miss him too much XD
