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.
Whats up baby,
(Cause you ain't never had a love like me)
I know you've been a lot of places, seen a lot of things,
Seen a lot of guys
(Cause you ain't never had a lover like me)
Hey baby, how you doing?
Tell me why wont you smile
Oh sugar, I've been around
Sit down lets talk a while
She says, (ain't been in love in a while been going through some ups and downs and I need somebody)
And now I say, don't worry bout a thing baby I got your back
Your rollin' with Keith, you like that
[Chorus]
I know you've been some things with some other guys
(Cause you ain't never had a love like me)
I know you tired of hearing everybody puttin' it down
(Cause you ain't never had a love like me)
Girl bring your body closer to mine
(Cause you ain't never had a love like me)
I'll make your body jump, scream and shout
And circuit do it all night long
I know you've been stressin' so I did somethin' special
Darling good for you, (good for you)
We're going to central bay baby we'll spend the day
Huggin' and kissin' you,
(When you give me that feeling are you gonna give me sexual healing
Cause I'm feeling you right now and you know its been a while boy)
Just tell me how you want it, baby girl I'ma come and jump up on it
So let me inside, you ain't never had a lover like me
[Chorus]
Your body is here, looking sexy my dear
Girl I'ma give it to you anyway you want it
Nothing but chemistry between you and me
Your body is calling me
Let me show you the way girl
You should be loved, baby
[Chorus]
(Cause you ain't never had a love like me)
I know you've been a lot of places, seen a lot of things,
Seen a lot of guys
(Cause you ain't never had a lover like me)
Hey baby, how you doing?
Tell me why wont you smile
Oh sugar, I've been around
Sit down lets talk a while
She says, (ain't been in love in a while been going through some ups and downs and I need somebody)
And now I say, don't worry bout a thing baby I got your back
Your rollin' with Keith, you like that
[Chorus]
I know you've been some things with some other guys
(Cause you ain't never had a love like me)
I know you tired of hearing everybody puttin' it down
(Cause you ain't never had a love like me)
Girl bring your body closer to mine
(Cause you ain't never had a love like me)
I'll make your body jump, scream and shout
And circuit do it all night long
I know you've been stressin' so I did somethin' special
Darling good for you, (good for you)
We're going to central bay baby we'll spend the day
Huggin' and kissin' you,
(When you give me that feeling are you gonna give me sexual healing
Cause I'm feeling you right now and you know its been a while boy)
Just tell me how you want it, baby girl I'ma come and jump up on it
So let me inside, you ain't never had a lover like me
[Chorus]
Your body is here, looking sexy my dear
Girl I'ma give it to you anyway you want it
Nothing but chemistry between you and me
Your body is calling me
Let me show you the way girl
You should be loved, baby
[Chorus]

No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
