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.
In open fields of wild flowers
She breathes the air and flies away
She thanks her Jesus for the daisies
And the roses in no simple language
Someday she'll understand
The meaning of it all
He's more than the laughter
Or the stars in the heaven
As close as a heartbeat
Or song on her lips
Someday she'll trust Him
And learn how to see Him
Someday He'll call her
And she will come running
She fall in His arms
The tears will fall down
And she'll pray
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
Sitting silent wearing Sunday best
The sermon echoes through the walls
A great salvation through it
Calls to the people
Who stare into nowhere
And can't feel the chains on their souls
He's more than the laughter
Or the stars in the heaven
As close as a heartbeat
Or song on her lips
Someday we'll trust Him
And learn how to see Him
Someday He'll call us
And we will come running
We'll fall in His arms
The tears will fall down
And we'll pray
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
We want to pray
It seems to easy to call You 'Savior'
Not close enough to call You 'God'
So as I sit and think of
The words I can mention
To show my devotion
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
She breathes the air and flies away
She thanks her Jesus for the daisies
And the roses in no simple language
Someday she'll understand
The meaning of it all
He's more than the laughter
Or the stars in the heaven
As close as a heartbeat
Or song on her lips
Someday she'll trust Him
And learn how to see Him
Someday He'll call her
And she will come running
She fall in His arms
The tears will fall down
And she'll pray
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
Sitting silent wearing Sunday best
The sermon echoes through the walls
A great salvation through it
Calls to the people
Who stare into nowhere
And can't feel the chains on their souls
He's more than the laughter
Or the stars in the heaven
As close as a heartbeat
Or song on her lips
Someday we'll trust Him
And learn how to see Him
Someday He'll call us
And we will come running
We'll fall in His arms
The tears will fall down
And we'll pray
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
We want to pray
It seems to easy to call You 'Savior'
Not close enough to call You 'God'
So as I sit and think of
The words I can mention
To show my devotion
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you

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.
this song reminds me of one guy i knew. there was a huge campfire, round 3 a.m. and he just took the guitar and started singing this song. we all listened to it and watched the fire as he sang. very few people knew the words but at the end every one was going "i want to fall in love with you" with him. Grant, are you there?
