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.
Look at how they stop and stare
As if they've never seen a heart in love
And though I see them I don't care
'Cause, I'm too busy thinking 'bout our love
Thinking about that each and every morning
I wake up to that love glow in your eyes
And though it seems I'm hooked on this fixation
I will not stop my daydreaming
Until my nights are true with you
Ooh, baby, my love is on fire
Ooh, baby, my heart is on the wild
Ooh, baby, I'm burning with desire
I want to feel your love
I need to feel your love mixed with mine
Listen at me call your name
As if you're witness to my every word
And though it seems sometimes insane
Something within me tells me they'll be heard
So I wait so patiently the moment
When my love fantasies will come to life
And all I need from you is confirmation
And then I'll be living truth, those moments
That I long with you
Ooh, baby (on fire), my love is on fire
Ooh, baby (on fire, fire), my heart is on the wild
Ooh, baby (on fire), I'm burning with desire
I want to feel your love
I need to feel your love mixed with mine

Ooh, baby (on fire, fire), my heart is on the wild (can't cha feel the pulsation of my heart?)

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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/
