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/
Tell all my friends I'm dead
I'm leaving you
This time it's for good
Tell all my friends that I'm dead
It won't be long before you forget
My na-aa-aa-ame
Can you tell that I'm losing myself?
I think I'm trying too hard to
Let it show
To let you know
Don't trace your footsteps back to me
'Cause I've been gone for a long time
Waiting on the sidelines
Hoping for a chance to play
Well, I thought I would never leave anything behind
I also never thought I'd say
Tell all my friends I'm dead
I'm leaving you
This time it's for good
Tell all my friends that I'm dead
It won't be long before you forget
My na-aa-aa-ame
Can't you tell that I don't know myself?
I need someone to remind me
To let it go
Please let me know
Don't trace your footsteps back to me
'Cause I've been gone for a long time
Waiting on the sidelines
Hoping for a chance to play
Well, I thought I would never leave anything behind
I also never thought I'd say
And if I had the chance
(Had the chance)
To do it all again
I wouldn't expect anything less
And if I had the chance
(Had the chance)
To do it all again
I wouldn't expect
I wouldn't expect anything less
Forget my name
I'm leaving you
This time it's for good
Tell all my friends that I'm dead
It won't be long before you forget
My na-aa-aa-ame
Can you tell that I'm losing myself?
I think I'm trying too hard to
Let it show
To let you know
Don't trace your footsteps back to me
'Cause I've been gone for a long time
Waiting on the sidelines
Hoping for a chance to play
Well, I thought I would never leave anything behind
I also never thought I'd say
Tell all my friends I'm dead
I'm leaving you
This time it's for good
Tell all my friends that I'm dead
It won't be long before you forget
My na-aa-aa-ame
Can't you tell that I don't know myself?
I need someone to remind me
To let it go
Please let me know
Don't trace your footsteps back to me
'Cause I've been gone for a long time
Waiting on the sidelines
Hoping for a chance to play
Well, I thought I would never leave anything behind
I also never thought I'd say
And if I had the chance
(Had the chance)
To do it all again
I wouldn't expect anything less
And if I had the chance
(Had the chance)
To do it all again
I wouldn't expect
I wouldn't expect anything less
Forget my name

Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
it's about being lost, wanting to find out who you really are, and needing to get away from everyone and everything that has to do with your past.
"i've been gone for a long time/ waiting on the sidelines / hoping for a chance to play"
he doesn't like the way his lifes been turning out. he wants to start over, and he doesn't want anyone to think about him, or who he was before.
"can you tell/that i don't know myself/i need someone to remind me"
he wants to meet someone new who will help him find out who he really is. it's not about suicide, it's about self-discovery and hopelessness and, basically, growing up.
track 6 from Sticks and Stones
actually it's track 7 :P good song, nonetheless.
yea i agree its the best song!!!!
It's six in my tracklisting...
1) Understatement 2) Something I call Personality 3) My Friend's Over You 4) Head on Collision 5) It's Been a Summer 6) Forget My Name 7) Never Give Up 8) The Great Houdini 9) Belated 10) Sonny 11) Singled Out 12) The Story So Far
your tracklisting is wrong from what i've got..
actually, you might be right, i just found out my "Its been a Summer" has a large, really noticeable skip in it. My rip must be screwed up in some way. Someone plz verify this though
where can i get the CD? (or ripp for that matter)?
ltb is right....by the way, this is an amazing cd
Ltb, your track listing is for the ADVANCE copy, the Retail version is slightly different and that is what Alucard is showing, also the Retail version is supposed to have two additional tracks which i'm a little confused about because they are listed after "the story so far" which is has the little secret thing after about 23 minutes of silence...
