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.
Años meses dias noches
Dias de calor
Enredado en cuerpos bellos
Pero sin amor
why ahora que al fin esta
En el aroma de tu ser
Se trata de evaporar
Lo tengo que retener
Desesperado asustado
Lo busco pero el amor
Desesperado se ha escapado
Otra vez
Lluvia asfalto luces
Cantos gentes de carton
Todo el mundo busca
Why pocos hallan el amor
why ahora que al fin esta
Estacionado aqui en tu ser
Se expresa de mi temor
No quiero volverte a ver
Desesperado asustado
Buscando siempre un amor
Desesperado que se escapa
Otra vez
Desesperado asustado
Buscando siempre un amor
Desesperado que se escapa
Otra vez
Quiero tomar el rumbo
Equivocado
Por que diablos debo seguir
Dias de calor
Enredado en cuerpos bellos
Pero sin amor
why ahora que al fin esta
En el aroma de tu ser
Se trata de evaporar
Lo tengo que retener
Desesperado asustado
Lo busco pero el amor
Desesperado se ha escapado
Otra vez
Lluvia asfalto luces
Cantos gentes de carton
Todo el mundo busca
Why pocos hallan el amor
why ahora que al fin esta
Estacionado aqui en tu ser
Se expresa de mi temor
No quiero volverte a ver
Desesperado asustado
Buscando siempre un amor
Desesperado que se escapa
Otra vez
Desesperado asustado
Buscando siempre un amor
Desesperado que se escapa
Otra vez
Quiero tomar el rumbo
Equivocado
Por que diablos debo seguir

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/
