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.
To whom it may concern
Love me when you find me
Always treat me kindly
Catch me when I fall
To whom it may concern
Stimulate my spirit
Push me past my limits
Say I'm beautiful
Carry me to bed
Promise I'm not nothin'
Show me why I love you
To whom it may concern
Please hurry to me
Signed yours truly
To whom it may concern
Treasure me intensely
In all things accept me
Forgive me when I'm wrong
Forget my indiscretions
And my misconceptions
Find me when I'm lost
Chase me when I run
Never let me go
But give me lots of freedom
Know that's why I love you
To whom it may concern
Please hurry to me
Signed yours truly
Every night I picture you
Nothing less than this will ever do
Someday I will find you
To whom it may concern
Smile without a reason
Kiss away my fevers
Grow with me through time
Be a true companion
Care from where I've come
Believe in where I am goin'
Commit to here and now
Sweep me off my feet!
Promise I'm not nothin'
Show me why I love
I love you
To whom it may concern
Please hurry to me
Yeah
I'm yours truly (X 2)
Just wanna be yours truly
To whom it may concern (X 3)
Just want to be yours truly
Love me when you find me
Always treat me kindly
Catch me when I fall
To whom it may concern
Stimulate my spirit
Push me past my limits
Say I'm beautiful
Carry me to bed
Promise I'm not nothin'
Show me why I love you
To whom it may concern
Please hurry to me
Signed yours truly
To whom it may concern
Treasure me intensely
In all things accept me
Forgive me when I'm wrong
Forget my indiscretions
And my misconceptions
Find me when I'm lost
Chase me when I run
Never let me go
But give me lots of freedom
Know that's why I love you
To whom it may concern
Please hurry to me
Signed yours truly
Every night I picture you
Nothing less than this will ever do
Someday I will find you
To whom it may concern
Smile without a reason
Kiss away my fevers
Grow with me through time
Be a true companion
Care from where I've come
Believe in where I am goin'
Commit to here and now
Sweep me off my feet!
Promise I'm not nothin'
Show me why I love
I love you
To whom it may concern
Please hurry to me
Yeah
I'm yours truly (X 2)
Just wanna be yours truly
To whom it may concern (X 3)
Just want to be yours truly

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/
