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.
En Grind stod apen en rytter viste seg
En Kald Take hadde lagt seg over marken
Ni Svarte hester og ni armerte menn
Et øye stirret Olmt ned fra et flagg
Stillhet senket seg da folget stoppet opp
De stoppet i en sirkel rundt en sten
Stille red de mot den
Og forsvant da de kom fram
For Steiner var en tanke fylt av Kraft
Stjerner pa en himmel som aldri faller ned
Lysglimt i en natt som varer evig
Tusen Kalde Vintre med kun Kulde og Forakt
Det finnes ingen sommer uten Vinter
I en Gammel Skog hvorhen troll og tusser vandret
Var en stein som rorte seg og ble til liv
Ni armerte men pa ni gra stolte hester
Bar en fane hvorpa Oyet viste seg
Ihver en natt er et nytt morke
Ihver en Vinter fryser jeg
Men dog Aldri skal jeg grate
For Stolt red jeg jo dengang
Ut av den dype skogen
En Kald Take hadde lagt seg over marken
Ni Svarte hester og ni armerte menn
Et øye stirret Olmt ned fra et flagg
Stillhet senket seg da folget stoppet opp
De stoppet i en sirkel rundt en sten
Stille red de mot den
Og forsvant da de kom fram
For Steiner var en tanke fylt av Kraft
Stjerner pa en himmel som aldri faller ned
Lysglimt i en natt som varer evig
Tusen Kalde Vintre med kun Kulde og Forakt
Det finnes ingen sommer uten Vinter
I en Gammel Skog hvorhen troll og tusser vandret
Var en stein som rorte seg og ble til liv
Ni armerte men pa ni gra stolte hester
Bar en fane hvorpa Oyet viste seg
Ihver en natt er et nytt morke
Ihver en Vinter fryser jeg
Men dog Aldri skal jeg grate
For Stolt red jeg jo dengang
Ut av den dype skogen

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/

'In The Deep Forest's Embrace'
There goes a road over the mountain In the deep forests' embrace Farms here suffered a cruel destiny Many ravens mourned by the corpses' burning
Pest trod the Norwegian land From sea over land to another sea With heavy steps it went In the deep forests' embrace
Death in black froze the soul Weakened the skin under a northern sky
There goes a road over the mountain In the deep forests' embrace Slowly wandering leads me In the dark forest's realm
To find a place old and forgotten From a lonely, black and endless night....
