Dr. Jazz

Squeeze

Give me iko
I want to ball the wall here
Shuffle in Dumaine
Hear the hookacumbi

Meet my tipatina
Love her hold her tightly
Want to see her swaying
In New Orleans nightly

You know I want to be there
Drinking in the morning
Holler in the evening
Dr. Jazz Dr. Jazz

Bake my jelly roll
You quicken my pulse
You make my rhythm slow
Crawfish gumbo

Rhythm from the jungle
Big chief rocking
I follow the voodoo king
Oolamalawaladollar

That's what the fez he sing

How long must it be
How long must I wait
Till Highway 49 takes me to your gate
I eat a bowl of gumbo

That Creole child will serve
Sit on the verandah
Happy in a Dixie world

Maybe on Sunday
Head for Baton Rouge
Dancing with the Cajun
Twist away my blues

Then a drop of rain
A trickle in my eye
I look up and smile
At the rhythm that never, never dies

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Just A Little Lovin'
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
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.
