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.
In a world that can be so insane I don't think it's very strange
For me to be in love with you
I want to know more than your brain
Into my life you were injected not something that I expected
Now I smile from your affection we have made a soul connection
Just for whom does your bell toll don't be cold show me your soul
Sentimental gentlemen are not afraid to show you when
I am you you're my best friend show me your soul
In a world that can be so insane I don't think it's very strange
For me to be in love with you I want to know more than your brain
Yes I find you so appealing when you show me how you're feeling
You my friend need not be kneeling open up and stop revealing
Trust in me, my heart is whole I need to see show me your soul
Sentimental gentlemen are not afraid to show you when
I am you you're my best friend show me your soul
In a world that can be so insane I don't think it's very strange
For me to be in love with you I want to know more than your brain
Don't expect too much from me Perfection is no test for me
Because the best I'll ever be I just like you, a human being
You won't offend, I need to know
Please my friend Show me your soul
Sentimental gentlemen are not afraid to show you when
I am you you're my best friend show me your soul
(Hey, na, hey, na, na, na hey, na)
For me to be in love with you
I want to know more than your brain
Into my life you were injected not something that I expected
Now I smile from your affection we have made a soul connection
Just for whom does your bell toll don't be cold show me your soul
Sentimental gentlemen are not afraid to show you when
I am you you're my best friend show me your soul
In a world that can be so insane I don't think it's very strange
For me to be in love with you I want to know more than your brain
Yes I find you so appealing when you show me how you're feeling
You my friend need not be kneeling open up and stop revealing
Trust in me, my heart is whole I need to see show me your soul
Sentimental gentlemen are not afraid to show you when
I am you you're my best friend show me your soul
In a world that can be so insane I don't think it's very strange
For me to be in love with you I want to know more than your brain
Don't expect too much from me Perfection is no test for me
Because the best I'll ever be I just like you, a human being
You won't offend, I need to know
Please my friend Show me your soul
Sentimental gentlemen are not afraid to show you when
I am you you're my best friend show me your soul
(Hey, na, hey, na, na, na hey, na)

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/
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.
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.
