Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Simple words we never knew,
The power behind what they put us through,
Now it's all begun, what it takes to make it real.
We're standing on the edge of this,
When our soul is gone, what will we miss?
We lost what it takes to really, really feel.
Better days behind us now,
We all need someone to tell us how
To save the state of where we are,
Its keeps demanding more and more and more.
Who will save us?
This can't go on, without the meaning in the rhyming.
Can you save, can you save us?
I can't go on out of rhythm with our time.
We hold this truth self evident,
The lies we used to represent
Who we are, because it was never meant to be.
And all the songs we used to sing, used to tell us everything.
Now were left with, all were left is memories.
But the better days behind us now.
We all need someone to tell us how
To save this state of where we are,
It keeps demanding more and more and more.
Who will save us?
This can't go on, without the meaning in the rhyming.
Can you save, can you save us?
I can't go on out of rhythm with our time.
Say the words, give it all the time you need.
Let it out, you'll say anything.
Say the words and make them count,
Say the words without a doubt.
Give us truth and nothing more,
Leave us wanting more and more.
Who will save us?
This can't go on, without the meaning in the rhyming.
Can you save, can you save us?
I can't go on, we're out of rhythm with our timing.
Can you save, can you save us?
I can't go on, without the meaning in the rhyming.
Can you save, you say you'll save us.
I can't go on, were out of rhythm with our time.
The power behind what they put us through,
Now it's all begun, what it takes to make it real.
We're standing on the edge of this,
When our soul is gone, what will we miss?
We lost what it takes to really, really feel.
Better days behind us now,
We all need someone to tell us how
To save the state of where we are,
Its keeps demanding more and more and more.
Who will save us?
This can't go on, without the meaning in the rhyming.
Can you save, can you save us?
I can't go on out of rhythm with our time.
We hold this truth self evident,
The lies we used to represent
Who we are, because it was never meant to be.
And all the songs we used to sing, used to tell us everything.
Now were left with, all were left is memories.
But the better days behind us now.
We all need someone to tell us how
To save this state of where we are,
It keeps demanding more and more and more.

Can you save, can you save us?

Can you save, you say you'll save us.
I can't go on, were out of rhythm with our time.

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/

Holy shit is all I can say. This song is so fucking beautiful. I usually hate it when bands I have loved for awhile blow up but hell give these guys as much attention as possible. They deserve to be huge. They are incredible.
