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.
Pokemon's a silly faze
Barney's now just purple haze
The Power Rangers lost their will to fight
Yeah the pigs in space, they rule the sky
And Oscar's still a grouchy guy
And Animal is looking dyno-mite
Oh Jim Henson's dead and gone
But his muppets will live on
And Kermit's still hot, 'cause it's still not
Easy being, green
Bert is mad 'cause Ernie can't hear
With a banana in his ear
They must learn how to cooperate
Yeah The Count is counting One Two Three
And no one laughs at poor Fozzie
And Scooter's pissed 'cause Raulf is always late
Oh Jim Henson's dead and gone
But his muppets will live on
And Kermit's still hot, 'cause it's still not
Easy being 1 2 3 4 5, 6 7 8 9 10, 11, 12
Now Miss Piggy's just a big slab of pork
To the Swedish Chef who says "Mmm, pork pork pork"
And Cookie Monster wants another, bite
Yeah and Big Bird well he just can't see
Why the two old guys in the balcony
Think Snufalufagus is out of, site
Oh Jim Henson's dead and gone
But his muppets will live on
And Kermit's still hot, 'cause it's still not
Easy being, green
Oh Jim Henson's dead and gone
But his muppets will live on
And Kermit's still hot, 'cause it's still not
Easy being, green
Easy being green, no
Barney's now just purple haze
The Power Rangers lost their will to fight
Yeah the pigs in space, they rule the sky
And Oscar's still a grouchy guy
And Animal is looking dyno-mite
Oh Jim Henson's dead and gone
But his muppets will live on
And Kermit's still hot, 'cause it's still not
Easy being, green
Bert is mad 'cause Ernie can't hear
With a banana in his ear
They must learn how to cooperate
Yeah The Count is counting One Two Three
And no one laughs at poor Fozzie
And Scooter's pissed 'cause Raulf is always late
Oh Jim Henson's dead and gone
But his muppets will live on
And Kermit's still hot, 'cause it's still not
Easy being 1 2 3 4 5, 6 7 8 9 10, 11, 12
Now Miss Piggy's just a big slab of pork
To the Swedish Chef who says "Mmm, pork pork pork"
And Cookie Monster wants another, bite
Yeah and Big Bird well he just can't see
Why the two old guys in the balcony
Think Snufalufagus is out of, site
Oh Jim Henson's dead and gone
But his muppets will live on
And Kermit's still hot, 'cause it's still not
Easy being, green
Oh Jim Henson's dead and gone
But his muppets will live on
And Kermit's still hot, 'cause it's still not
Easy being, green
Easy being green, no

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/

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.
Okay, spelling corrections (Please don't take any offense- I'm a perfectionist ;)) faze = phase dyno-mite = dynamite Raulf = Ralph (I think.)
