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.
Gonna get in my car with a smile and the burn that I put on my arm the day you
Went away girl and I probably won't come back around again.
Gonna get in my car with a smile and the burn that I put on my arm the day you
Went away girl and I probably won't come back around again.
Gonna drive all night through the red lights flying, over the hill to the
County line blind, forgetting to forget that you're not mine.
Kiss your Apocalypse for the last, last time runaway runaway runaway runaway again fine
Anytime you think you've changed your mind
Anytime you want jump back to me anytime, jump back to me anytime,
Jump back to me anytime, come back one more time anytime.
There's a place where I go to take the edge of the day, when the radios up your
Face fades away, flicker flicker dim and fade to black.
With a back pack packed, with a mug and a map. Gonna drive too fast, Gonna not
Look back, light the night with a blow torch and a match.
Kiss your Apocalypse for the last, last time
Runaway runaway runaway runaway again fine
Anytime you think you've changed your mind
Anytime you want jump back to me anytime, jump back to me anytime,
Jump back to me anytime, come back one more time anytime.
Got no time reason or rime, not gonna stop, gonna ride all night
Got no time reason or rime, not gonna stop, gonna ride all night
Got no time reason or rime, not gonna stop, gonna ride all night
Anytime you want jump back to me anytime, jump back to me anytime,
Jump back to me anytime, come back one more time anytime.
(Without you want)
Kiss your Apocalypse for the last, last time
Runaway runaway runaway runaway again fine
Anytime you think you've changed your mind
Kiss your Apocalypse for the last, last time
Runaway runaway runaway runaway again fine
Anytime you think you've changed your mind
For the last time
For the last time

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Kiss your apocalypse...Very witty :)
