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.
I remember the Night
That sight's still inside
On my olf men's streets
Ghosts of never beens
Voices of the Violin
Cried for many Nights
Flames of the mind
Hunted evil kinds
The Violin cried
Out to the Night
Silent screaming
By strings' blood
Nowhere I found
Nowhere found me
The darkness of Gods
Embraced the crying voices
He sat in the dark
Candles gone out
Just the mad sound
Was still in the fight
Next to the window
He stared at the night
And behind the world
Space opened a mind
Coming from an ancient Dark
Dimension of refused mights
A silent man - demonic fight
By the strings of his life
The Violin cried
Out to the Night
Silent screaming
By strings' blood
Nowhere I found
Nowhere found me
The darkness of Gods
Embraced the crying voices
That sight's still inside
On my olf men's streets
Ghosts of never beens
Voices of the Violin
Cried for many Nights
Flames of the mind
Hunted evil kinds
The Violin cried
Out to the Night
Silent screaming
By strings' blood
Nowhere I found
Nowhere found me
The darkness of Gods
Embraced the crying voices
He sat in the dark
Candles gone out
Just the mad sound
Was still in the fight
Next to the window
He stared at the night
And behind the world
Space opened a mind
Coming from an ancient Dark
Dimension of refused mights
A silent man - demonic fight
By the strings of his life
The Violin cried
Out to the Night
Silent screaming
By strings' blood
Nowhere I found
Nowhere found me
The darkness of Gods
Embraced the crying voices

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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
This song is based on the story "The Music of Erich Zann" by H.P. Lovecraft, in which a violinist conjures up abysmal visions of cosmic horror with his strange music. In a flat in a street that doesn't exist, no less.
