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.
Woooooooo (x8)
There was some love in the backseat
In the backseat of that car
To let tonight show destruction
Altough they mean it pretty fun
And the hands were tied
And the words were blind
And God gave them a trial
And they tried
And they sacrificed their lives
Can you feel it in the air?
Can you feel it in the air?
Can you feel it in the air?
Can you feel it in the air?
And after ten years of denial
A bright light opened their eyes
And the boy they loved was a victim
Left with a killer mind
He told swiftly to his parents
He shot them between the eyes
Where is the love?
Can you feel it in the air?
Can you feel it in the air?
Can you feel it in the air?
Can you feel it in the air?
Can you feel it in the air?
Can you feel it in the air?
Wooooo ...
And after ten years of denial
A bright light opened their eyes
And the boy they loved was a victim
Left with a killer mind
A killer mind
A killer mind
There was some love in the backseat
In the backseat of that car
To let tonight show destruction
Altough they mean it pretty fun
And the hands were tied
And the words were blind
And God gave them a trial
And they tried
And they sacrificed their lives
Can you feel it in the air?
Can you feel it in the air?
Can you feel it in the air?
Can you feel it in the air?
And after ten years of denial
A bright light opened their eyes
And the boy they loved was a victim
Left with a killer mind
He told swiftly to his parents
He shot them between the eyes
Where is the love?
Can you feel it in the air?
Can you feel it in the air?
Can you feel it in the air?
Can you feel it in the air?
Can you feel it in the air?
Can you feel it in the air?
Wooooo ...
And after ten years of denial
A bright light opened their eyes
And the boy they loved was a victim
Left with a killer mind
A killer mind
A killer mind

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/
