I Was Just Thinking

Teitur

I was just thinkin'
That I have been missin' you for way too long
And there is somethin' inside this weary head
That wants us to love just instead

But I was just thinkin'
Merely thinkin'
I've got loads of pictures yeah
I've got the one of you in that dancin' dress
But man I feel silly in that dim light
Just after doin' you by the side of my coat I put out the lights

I am sinkin'
Merely sinkin'
Yeah I think about long distance rates instead of kissin' you babe
I'm a singer without a song
And if I wait for you longer my affection is stronger
But I
I was just thinkin'
Merely thinkin'
But this boat is sinkin'

Yeah I'm tired of postcards
Especially the ones with cute dogs and cupids
Yeah I'm tired of callin' you and missin' you
And dreamin' that I've slept with you
Don't get me wrong I still desperately love you inside this weary head
I just want us to love just instead

But I was just thinkin' and thinkin'
Merely thinkin'
Yeah I think about long distance rates instead of kissin' you babe
And time is runnin' me still
And if I wait for you longer my affection is stronger

But I
I was just thinkin'
I said that I
I was just thinkin'
That I'm tired of callin' you once a week
And thinkin' of long distance rates instead of kissin' you
So baby I'm sinkin'
Merely sinkin'

    'Thinking of long distance rates instead of kissing you babe...'

    Oh, I can't get enough of this song. It's as close to perfect as a song can be, in my opinion.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
