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 know I'll never be beautiful
but you kissed me once, in the sun
I know I'll never be loveable
but you made me think I was wrong
and you say: "it doesn't matter,"
but I want to scream: "it does!"
you made our little dream shatter
but oh, what a dream it was
I could've just run away with you
but you didn't want me along
I spent my one happy day with you
but when I woke up, you were gone
and I always knew you were faking
the little moon-beam that was us
and I wish I'd never awakened
and lived in a dream
because oh, what a dream it was
but you kissed me once, in the sun
I know I'll never be loveable
but you made me think I was wrong
and you say: "it doesn't matter,"
but I want to scream: "it does!"
you made our little dream shatter
but oh, what a dream it was
I could've just run away with you
but you didn't want me along
I spent my one happy day with you
but when I woke up, you were gone
and I always knew you were faking
the little moon-beam that was us
and I wish I'd never awakened
and lived in a dream
because oh, what a dream it was

I Can't Go To Sleep

Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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.
"O! What A Dream It Was"
I know I'll never be beautiful But you kissed me once, in the sun, I know I'll never be loveable But you made me think I was wrong.
And you say: "it doesn't matter" But I want to scream: "it does" You made our little dream shatter But oh, what a dream it was.
I could've just run away with you But you didn't want me along, I spent my one happy day with you But when I woke up, you were gone.
And you say: "it doesn't matter" But I want to scream: "it does" You made our little dream shatter But oh, what a dream it was.
And I always knew you were faking The little moon beam that was us And I wish I'd never awakened And lived in a dream because Oh, what a dream it was...
Is anything more beautiful?????? Maybe.... but this is sadly awesome.
