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.

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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Good solid instrumental. However, some vocals would've been nice. ;)
amazing. the title has such an amazing meaning.
love it.
sounds similar to another song ive heard but i cant think of it...any ideas anyone?
the intro is REALLY if not identical to the chords in the guitar solo in Good to Know That If I Ever Need Attention All I Have to Do Is Die by Brand New (listen to that song after 3 minutes 16 seconds and you'll see why)
**really similiar
They basically just ripped off Good To Know If I Ever Need Attention All I Have to Do Is Die here. It's not even like it is a common sound like an acoustic chord prog, it's the exact same. S70L3dz0rZ!
i highly doubt acceptance "ripped off" brand new. acceptance doesnt need to rip anyone off. and besides why would acceptance want to rip off a crappy band? acceptance owns brand new. brand new are a bunch of jocks trying to play "emo"
Hmm, its plausible that brand new stole it from acceptance, aside from the fact that brand new's album came out two years before. but maybe, they went into the future and stole it, righttt? Not. Get real, and accept the fact that Brand New is amazing, not that Acceptance isn't, but you knowwwww.
I've never really listened to Brand New so I'm not gonna judge, but I can say that Acceptance really doesn't need to copy anyone, they're that amazing.
