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/

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
love this part of the song: "Thinking 'bout the times we had Some were good and some were bad Guitar fighting' the TV." specifically the part where he says Guitar fighting the tv. shame there isnt any other posts for such a beautiful song.
Definitely agree, gives me an instant strong sense of connection to Neil Young. Often if I'm playing guitar and singing, it's for the one I love whether I announce such a thing or not, and it breaks your heart just a little if she turns on the tv halfway through...
Beautiful song. I think it's about relationships, and looking back over time at the time spent together with your partner. "True love conquers all." I would also say that it's about life in general, and how time passes so quickly, and it's important to remember what really matters.
Neil Young, really, is sort of a New Age songwriter. Obviously he's "folk-rock" too, but there's a strong spiritual streak running through his songs This whole album (Harvest Moon) is very "spiritual" in the First Nations, shamanistic meaning of the word This is one of his better albums, I feel, and this is a great song. Agree with floydian18, too "guitar fightin' the TV" isa great line.
I think this song is about truely being happy with your life and the love you have for you family. All couples have hard times and disagrements, but if the love is real like he says "true love conqours all". He is very happy with his life with Peggy and his children. Neil has much pride for his family. As time has crept up on Neil and the grey has started to show he knows that his relationship with his family is truely wonderful. He is telling us all that life goes by fast and don't let the hard times get in the way. "True love conquors all"
One of my very favorite Neil Young acoustic songs. Just gorgeous. I think Neil is talking about he and his wife, Peggy, and the ups and downs of a marriage. But the key is that indeed "true love conquors all." I always considered "You And Me" the emotional center of HARVEST MOON. Just a beautiful, vulnerable song.
