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.
Thank you to the people in my life
For putting up with me
And thank you for the times you sacrificed
All on account of me
For all the times I didn't say
The times I didn't say
For all the times I didn't say
The times I didn't say
Fuck you to the jaded and the fake
Like to see what you would do
Fuck you and the judgments that you make
We're not all perfect just like you
Like you, like you
For all the times I didn't say
The times I didn't say
For all the times I didn't say
The times I didn't say
All the times I didn't say
All the times I didn't say
Thank you to the people in my life
For putting up with me
For putting up with me
And thank you for the times you sacrificed
All on account of me
For all the times I didn't say
The times I didn't say
For all the times I didn't say
The times I didn't say
Fuck you to the jaded and the fake
Like to see what you would do
Fuck you and the judgments that you make
We're not all perfect just like you
Like you, like you
For all the times I didn't say
The times I didn't say
For all the times I didn't say
The times I didn't say
All the times I didn't say
All the times I didn't say
Thank you to the people in my life
For putting up with me

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
