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.
Don't my baby look good in them blue jeans?
Tight on the top with a belly button ring a little tattoo
Somewhere in between
She only shows to me
Hey we're going out dancin', she's ready tonight
So damn good lookin', boys, it ain't even right
And when the bartender says
"For the lady, what's it gonna be?"
I tell him man
She ain't into wine and roses
Beer just makes her turn up her nose and
She can't stand the thought of sippin' champagne
No Cuervo Gold Margaritas
Just ain't enough good burn in Tequila, she needs
Somethin' with a little more edge and a little more pain
She's my little whiskey girl
She's my little whiskey girl
My Ragged on the edges girl
Ah, but I like 'em rough
Baby got a '69 mustang
Four on the floor and you ought to hear the pipes ring
I jump behind the wheel and it's away we go
Hey, I drive too fast, but she don't care
Blue bandanna tied all up in her hair
Just sittin' there
Singin' every song on the radio
She ain't into wine and roses
Beer just makes her turn up her nose and
She can't stand the thought of sippin' champagne
No Cuervo Gold Margaritas
Just ain't enough good burn in Tequila, she needs
Somethin' with a little more edge and a little more pain
She's my little whiskey girl
She's my little whiskey girl
My Ragged on the edges girl
Ah, but I like 'em rough
No Cuervo Gold Margaritas
Just ain't enough good burn in Tequila, she needs
Somethin' with a little more edge and a little more pain
She's my little whiskey girl
Oh, she's my little whiskey girl
My Ragged on the edges girl
Ah, but I like 'em rough
Yeah, I like 'em rough
I like 'em rough
Tight on the top with a belly button ring a little tattoo
Somewhere in between
She only shows to me
Hey we're going out dancin', she's ready tonight
So damn good lookin', boys, it ain't even right
And when the bartender says
"For the lady, what's it gonna be?"
I tell him man
She ain't into wine and roses
Beer just makes her turn up her nose and
She can't stand the thought of sippin' champagne
No Cuervo Gold Margaritas
Just ain't enough good burn in Tequila, she needs
Somethin' with a little more edge and a little more pain
She's my little whiskey girl
She's my little whiskey girl
My Ragged on the edges girl
Ah, but I like 'em rough
Baby got a '69 mustang
Four on the floor and you ought to hear the pipes ring
I jump behind the wheel and it's away we go
Hey, I drive too fast, but she don't care
Blue bandanna tied all up in her hair
Just sittin' there
Singin' every song on the radio
She ain't into wine and roses
Beer just makes her turn up her nose and
She can't stand the thought of sippin' champagne
No Cuervo Gold Margaritas
Just ain't enough good burn in Tequila, she needs
Somethin' with a little more edge and a little more pain
She's my little whiskey girl
She's my little whiskey girl
My Ragged on the edges girl
Ah, but I like 'em rough
No Cuervo Gold Margaritas
Just ain't enough good burn in Tequila, she needs
Somethin' with a little more edge and a little more pain
She's my little whiskey girl
Oh, she's my little whiskey girl
My Ragged on the edges girl
Ah, but I like 'em rough
Yeah, I like 'em rough
I like 'em rough

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.
Magical

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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
This song is him bragging that his girlfriend is hot and an alcoholic. J/k, I love this song.
I LOVE TOBY KEITH!!!!
oh come on i've love a hot alcoholic gf, wouldn't you?
oh come on i've love a hot alcoholic gf, who also happens to own a 69 mustang, wouldn't you?
yeah whiskey!!!! love this song and the video! Toby Keith is awsome!
yeah this is a rpetty nice song.. used to be my favorite. i didnt quite understand thoguh why on vh1 it made the list of one of the worst songs... i thought it pretty gay.
I would love to be Toby's Girl!! He is soooooooooooooooooo lucky
I think Toby said something about that part of this song is Whiskey is seen as a man's drink, not many females like it and Toby finds a girl that likes Whiskey hot.
There are quite a lot songs I know in which the/a woman drinks whiskey... Take f.eks Carrie Underwood's line "cause she can't take Whiskey" - I prefer beer myself though
THIS SONG IS THE SHIIIITTTT! LOVE IT
