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 was supposed to have some games, I'd love to play with you)
If you thought that I was leaving here
Can I find a way inside
Try to call it just an absence of faith
But I feel justified
You can't stare through this
There's nothing left in my heart
Bye for now
Just too long
There's no end in sight
Wot am I for
To be hurt more
I just don't like it here with yourself
I can't like you
Want to burn you
I wish you were dead
Cause if its hard you want out its no fun
Got left with everything
Behind your smile forget that I was left with everything
Never the same to me
Never the same to me
Never the same to me
Never the same
Its never the same
Once you played up to the end
Stop the noise
Get nowhere with your current state of mind
I even wonder why you're here please stay at home
Killing my laughter
Hurting my insides
You are played
Wot am I here for
To be hurt more
I just don't like it here with yourself
I can't like you
Want to burn you
I wish you were dead
Cause if its hard you want out its no fun
Got left with everything
Behind your smile forget that I was left with everything
Never the same to me
Never the same to me
Never the same to me
Never the same
If you thought that I was leaving here
Can I find a way inside
Try to call it just an absence of faith
But I feel justified
If its hard you want out its no fun got left with
Everything
Behind your smile forget that I was left with everything
Never the same to me
Never the same to me
Never the same to me
Never the same
(Its how I feel yeah its how I'm made yeah)
If you thought that I was leaving here

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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
Simply put, this has to be one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Now, don't get me wrong: I'm not some know-nothing clunk head who just gets all his kicks from catchy hooks and who likes this song because all the cool kids at school are yapping about Lostprophets. I don't know, it's just something about this song that makes me feel all these emotions at once. Whenever I listen to it, this thing in my stomach starts moving around and I get happy, forlorn, misty, etc. all at the same time.
I'd say what I truly like about this song is the fact that there are emotions concelaed under emotions, which are seemingly concealed under another veil of emotions. I mean, the first few times I listened to it, I pretty much got the impression that it was a nice upbeat song to rock out to. That was it. But then, one night, almost immediately after watching the final episode of "Cowboy Bebop," I popped the CD in my walkman and skipped to this song. That's when the song really began to mean something to me (just watch the episode and then listen to the song. The meaning of life will be revealed). Ever since then, I've been peeling away certain elements of the song, only to find more underlying layers. I can listen to it when I'm happy, and I can listen to it when I'm sad. Hell, I can listen to it when I'm in any kind of mood! Needless to say, I really think that this song has more depth to it than just about anyone is willing to give it credit for.
Now, go seek the meaning of life. It's cooky.
