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.
So close your eyes
There's no suprise
You'll realize they hear you
Just hide your fear
Come closer dear
It's hot when no one loves you
I'm on the soul of every role of every place your taking
Until I'm done
Just stay for fun
Tomorrow's breaking even
Too late
Never say tomorrow is another day
One love
I'm one away
I never thought that I'd hear heaven say
Inside I know the way
She fell like fire
I forgot to play
One love
I'm one away
I never thought that I'd hear heaven say
We've lost our chance
Our one last dance
Them circumstances fail us
We'd wait too long
They found our song
It seems like time's against us
Maybe it's me
I'm overboard and screaming for no reason
But life is light love like a fight today
We're breaking even.
Too late
Never say tomorrow is another day
One love
I'm one away
I never thought that I'd hear heaven say
Inside I know the way
She fell like fire
I forgot to play
One love
I'm one away
I never thought that I'd hear heaven say
Every one here thinks i'm crazy
Seems like most of us love lazy
Waiting round here is amazing
Everyone runs like its hazy
There's no suprise
You'll realize they hear you
Just hide your fear
Come closer dear
It's hot when no one loves you
I'm on the soul of every role of every place your taking
Until I'm done
Just stay for fun
Tomorrow's breaking even
Too late
Never say tomorrow is another day
One love
I'm one away
I never thought that I'd hear heaven say
Inside I know the way
She fell like fire
I forgot to play
One love
I'm one away
I never thought that I'd hear heaven say
We've lost our chance
Our one last dance
Them circumstances fail us
We'd wait too long
They found our song
It seems like time's against us
Maybe it's me
I'm overboard and screaming for no reason
But life is light love like a fight today
We're breaking even.
Too late
Never say tomorrow is another day
One love
I'm one away
I never thought that I'd hear heaven say
Inside I know the way
She fell like fire
I forgot to play
One love
I'm one away
I never thought that I'd hear heaven say
Every one here thinks i'm crazy
Seems like most of us love lazy
Waiting round here is amazing
Everyone runs like its hazy

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Wow first comment I really love this song the guitar in it is really sweet I think it's about getting close to someone who doesn't want to get close to you but thats just my opinion
Its an amazing song with amazing lyrics... It Just Means So Much And I Can Relate To It
This song is FREAKING AMAZING it's basically telling you to follow and go for your love and don't settle for ANYTHING less.
I always felt this song was about missing oppurtunities to be with someone you loved.
"the circumstances fail us, we'd wait too long, they found our song, it seems likes times against us"
PS best Hedley song ever. Sadly I dont think the new band members will record it.
