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.

All dressed up and nowhere to go
I see your friends but they don't know
About real life and what it feels like
Dans mes reves
We stare at movies and magazines
I'm so sick of this plastique scene
Dans mes reves
All the faces are just fading away
And that's real life
In my dreams (all the faces are just fading away)
Love is real
In my dreams (all the faces are just fading away)
Love is real
In my dreams (all the faces are just fading away)
Love is real
In my dreams (all the faces are just fading away)
Love is real
In my dreams (all the faces are just fading away)
Love is real

All messed up and nowhere to go
I see your friends but they don't know

Dans mes reves
You could have been my baby doll
I could've given you anything
Dans mes reves
But this is real life and what feels like
In my dreams (all the faces are just fading away)
Love is real
In my dreams (all the faces are just fading away)
Love is real
In my dreams (all the faces are just fading away)

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
This is Desires best song. So much love for it.
