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.
I feel so lucky loving her
Tell me what else is magic for
She thinks it's better left unsaid
She makes her mind up at a glance
It really made a difference
I seem to be unconditionally hers
She's like a new girl every day
And all the rest don't bother me
I'm far too busy lovin' her
I'll never be lonely now I know her
She...
Now I know her
She fills my heart with joy
(That's in our best interest. she makes my day)
She just has to smile to blow my cares away
She...
She just has to touch my hand to make me stay
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once
Our love was unintentional
She says we're not responsible
She thinks with her chin up
She always makes uncommon sense
Always knows just what to say
She always takes me unawares
In less time than it takes to fall down here
And there you are
We never fought it anyway
I'll never be lonely now I know her
She...
She fills my heart with joy
(that's in our best interest. she makes my day)
She just has to smile to blow my cares away
She just has to touch my hand to make me stay
I feel so lucky loving her
Tell me what else is magic for
She thinks it's better left unsaid
She makes her mind up at a glance
It really made a difference
I seem to be unconditionally hers
She's like a new girl every day
And all the rest don't bother me
I'm far too busy lovin' her
I'll never be lonely now I know her
She...
She fills my heart with joy
(that's in our best interest. she makes my day)
She just has to smile to blow my cares away
She just has to touch my hand to make me stay
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once
Tell me what else is magic for
She thinks it's better left unsaid
She makes her mind up at a glance
It really made a difference
I seem to be unconditionally hers
She's like a new girl every day
And all the rest don't bother me
I'm far too busy lovin' her
I'll never be lonely now I know her
She...
Now I know her
She fills my heart with joy
(That's in our best interest. she makes my day)
She just has to smile to blow my cares away
She...
She just has to touch my hand to make me stay
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once
Our love was unintentional
She says we're not responsible
She thinks with her chin up
She always makes uncommon sense
Always knows just what to say
She always takes me unawares
In less time than it takes to fall down here
And there you are
We never fought it anyway
I'll never be lonely now I know her
She...
She fills my heart with joy

She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once

No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental 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.
I cant believe im the first to comment on this song. It's awesome, one of the great love songs of our time.
This song makes me want that woman and that kind of relationship so much. It's such wonderful lyrics. If I played piano or guitar I would want to be able to play it. It's so underrated. It's been forgotten. Robert Palmer had such class and had his eyes on the prize. What we all should strive for but don't.
This is such a gorgeous, underrated 80's song. The funny thing is I always assumed that this was a cover! This afternoon I was listening to "everyday kinda people" which made me listen to some of his other stuff and I just happened to listen to this one again. And so to my surprise, its written by RP. Wow...
