Tell me again about that boy named "Junior Band"
He had the energy of a wildcat, and wide open eyes
his hands moved constantly - dancing here, stopping there
Never was still to catch his breath

What happened to "Junior Band" the teenager?
His voice broke, his birthday suit felt tight all over
Kissing with tongues became a preoccupation

The sun stretched out and sang golden to him
His eyes became leaden lidded
It crossed his mind never to move
So delicious was this place and feeling

He was off like a dream
Dizzy from the heat, but oh! so content
He felt like he was in love
Or that it would feel like this

He was off like a dream
Dizzy from the heat, but oh! so content
He felt like he was in love
Or that it would feel like this
He felt like he was in love
Or that it would feel like this

The sun moved away to the other side of the sky
Cold seeped through the green
Underneath grew moist with the night
Junior band lay still, his back becoming wet
He felt scared

Did "Junior Band" live happily ever after?
He lay through the ice and the north wind
Realising that they were but a different face of his known sun
The recollection of the moments urging long ago forced him onto his feet
Looking into the mirror "Junior Band" saw he was a man
He took the title "Robots In Disguise"

The sun stretched out and sang golden anew
Our hero stared her out of the sky
It crossed his mind to ever to move
To delicious places, feelings

He was off on the ride
Burning from the heat, but oh! what intent
He knew the shape of love
Looked like this

He was of on the ride
Burning from the heat, but oh! what intent
He knew the shape of love
Looked like this
He knew the shape of love
Looked like this

Va-t-en! Il faut que tu me quittes!
Sois explorateur avant que la mort te prenne...

    I love this song so much! Yeah, I think it's about growing up or growing into the band they are now. It's a really brilliant song and the lyrical content is amazing!

    a direct translation of those last lines is

    Goes-T! It is necessary that you me free! Would be browser before death takes to you…

    adjust it slightly are there we go. French is prettier than english though.

    "He lay through the ice and the north wind Realising that they were but a different face of his known sun"

    I love that line. It's like it's saying that the hard times you may go through it just a different part of the good times. It's lovely.

    Song Meaning

    i think in this song they are talking about how they've matured and grown as a band, but they're using the idea of a boy changing into a man during puberty as a metaphore. possibly.

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
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/

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
