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.
Drop this shit when I smoke then I get ill
I got the muthafuckin' rhyme getting burn like a grill
Kiss your ass goodbye when I get so high
I feel like I could fly can I die
Dyin' I'm not dying I'm gonna keep on goin' and going
Until the muthafuckers fuck with me
I want to sing but you don't even know all the pain I bring
So boom I blast you, you can take it for free
You get high with your crew and your enemy
Blue I see blue and white
I'll be like Mike Tyson when it's time to take fight
I see you I say yeah
Throw yo hands in the air
[Chorus]
Don't you fade away
I get high like everyday
Drop this shit you never stop you never quit
Wind below your feet I got my head hangin' underneath
All the way I'll take yah your burnin' like fire
Hold it back down I'll be your messiah
These black clouds over me
I feel like dyin' in a kung-fu movie
Like my man Bruce Lee no time for the wannabe
This is my last bit of energy left can't you see
[Chorus]
High times I feel so fine
Stiggidy booms gonna make you high (4x)
High times I feel so fine
Stiggidy booms gonna make you high (4x)
[Chorus]
I got the muthafuckin' rhyme getting burn like a grill
Kiss your ass goodbye when I get so high
I feel like I could fly can I die
Dyin' I'm not dying I'm gonna keep on goin' and going
Until the muthafuckers fuck with me
I want to sing but you don't even know all the pain I bring
So boom I blast you, you can take it for free
You get high with your crew and your enemy
Blue I see blue and white
I'll be like Mike Tyson when it's time to take fight
I see you I say yeah
Throw yo hands in the air
[Chorus]
Don't you fade away
I get high like everyday
Drop this shit you never stop you never quit
Wind below your feet I got my head hangin' underneath
All the way I'll take yah your burnin' like fire
Hold it back down I'll be your messiah
These black clouds over me
I feel like dyin' in a kung-fu movie
Like my man Bruce Lee no time for the wannabe
This is my last bit of energy left can't you see
[Chorus]
High times I feel so fine
Stiggidy booms gonna make you high (4x)
High times I feel so fine
Stiggidy booms gonna make you high (4x)
[Chorus]

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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
