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.
Freedom
A freestyle in a lifetime-situation
Be quiet boy, i am used to cope with confrontations
I would not like to deal with all your sickened problems
Cause i'm a worthless freaky, freakin' noiselike sucker
I'm Structured
But i'm fractured
I'm structured
Oh yeah, Well i'm soulfree
Ja Dan, Ja Dan
Ja dan, ja dan
Dan plaats ik hier, ja dan plaats ik hier
Dan plaats ik hier in dit knappe heim
een leuk MC Sibanac refrein
Van vrijheid, een beladen woord
De meeste mensen hebben het nooit gehoord
En de halve wereld staat er voor op zijn kop
Bosnië, Afrik, noem maar op
En voor internationale vrijheid moet je strijden,
maar begin bij jezelf, pas dan kan het belijven
Pas dan kan het beklijven
It's a free style
In a free World!

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.
