I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Sometimes it's hard
When rain's pouring on
I used to worry
What tomorrow would bring
Then you came along
Changed my world around
Gave me something to believe in
When I'm upside down
And let me say I owe it all to you
And I want to thank you
For making the sun come
Shining through
Now that we're together
Everything can only get better (get better and better)
Now that you're around me
Swear I'm gonna love you forever (forever and ever)
Now that we're together
Everything can only get better
You bring the sunshine to my life
If you should find
You need someone too
Just turn head in my direction
And I'll do the same to you
And let me say from the bottom of my heart
I want to thank you (i want to thank you)
For making the sun come shining through
Now that we're together
Everything can only get better (get better and better)
Now that you're around me
Swear I'm gonna love you forever (forever and ever)
Now that we're together
Everything can only get better (do do do do do do)
Now that you're around me
Swear I'm gonna love you forever (hey)
You bring the sunshine to my life
Keep bringing (keep on)
Keep bringing (keep on)
Keep bringing
The sunshine to me
Keep bringing (keep on)
Keep bringing (keep on)
Keep bringing
The sunshine to me
And let me ask you
Girl, where would I be
Without you right here
Making the sun shine down on me
Now that we're together
Everything can only get better (get better and better)
Now that you're around me
Swear I'm gonna love you forever (bring the sunshine, bring the loving)
Now that we're together
Everything can only get better
Now that you're around me
Swear I'm gonna love you forever
You bring the sunshine to my life
Bring it on (keep bringing)
Bring it on (keep bringing)
Bring it on (keep bringing)
The sunshine to me
Bring it on (keep bringing)
Bring it on (keep bringing)
Bring it on (keep bringing)
The sunshine to me

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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
I absolutely adore this song!! It's so sweet!!
