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.
Blue the color suits you cool blue
How will you stay this way for ever?
Blue again it's a lasting chill
To keep you cold as winter
How can I forget you?
I'm never gonna give you up, up I said
How can I forget you baby?
I'm never gonna give you up, up I said
Here it comes again
Here it comes again
Here it comes again
Here it comes again
Blue the color fools you cool blue
I'll never stay away for ever
How can I forget you?
I'm never gonna give you up, up I said
How can I forget you baby?
I'm never gonna give you up, up I said
Here it comes again
Here it comes again
Here it comes again
Here it comes again
How could she fall for a boy like that
How could she fall for a boy like that
How could she fall for a boy like that
How could she fall for a boy like that
Blue the color suits you cool blue
Blue the color fools you blue again
Blue, cool blue
How will you stay this way for ever?
How can I forget you baby?
I'm never gonna give you up, up I said
How can I forget you baby?
I'm never gonna give you up, up I said
How can I forget you baby?
I'm never gonna give you up, up I said
How can I forget you baby?
How will you stay this way for ever?
Blue again it's a lasting chill
To keep you cold as winter
How can I forget you?
I'm never gonna give you up, up I said
How can I forget you baby?
I'm never gonna give you up, up I said
Here it comes again
Here it comes again
Here it comes again
Here it comes again
Blue the color fools you cool blue
I'll never stay away for ever
How can I forget you?
I'm never gonna give you up, up I said
How can I forget you baby?
I'm never gonna give you up, up I said
Here it comes again
Here it comes again
Here it comes again
Here it comes again
How could she fall for a boy like that
How could she fall for a boy like that
How could she fall for a boy like that
How could she fall for a boy like that
Blue the color suits you cool blue
Blue the color fools you blue again
Blue, cool blue
How will you stay this way for ever?
How can I forget you baby?
I'm never gonna give you up, up I said
How can I forget you baby?
I'm never gonna give you up, up I said
How can I forget you baby?
I'm never gonna give you up, up I said
How can I forget you baby?

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/
