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.
When I look into your soft green eyes
When I see your delicate body revealed to me
As you slip off your dress
I'm reminded that what I feel for you
Will remain strong and true
Long after the pleasures of the flesh
[Chorus]
And I'll go on loving you
I'll go on loving you
I'll go on loving you
And be it the wind
Or the rain
Or the moon up in the sky
The spin of the earth
Or the changes in the tide
I don't know what brought us together
What strange forces of nature conspired
To construct the present
From the past
[Chorus]
When I look into your soft green eyes
When I see your delicate body revealed me
As you slip off your dress
I'm reminded that what I feel for you
Will remain strong and true
Long after the pleasures of the flesh
[Chorus]
When I see your delicate body revealed to me
As you slip off your dress
I'm reminded that what I feel for you
Will remain strong and true
Long after the pleasures of the flesh
[Chorus]
And I'll go on loving you
I'll go on loving you
I'll go on loving you
And be it the wind
Or the rain
Or the moon up in the sky
The spin of the earth
Or the changes in the tide
I don't know what brought us together
What strange forces of nature conspired
To construct the present
From the past
[Chorus]
When I look into your soft green eyes
When I see your delicate body revealed me
As you slip off your dress
I'm reminded that what I feel for you
Will remain strong and true
Long after the pleasures of the flesh
[Chorus]

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/
