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.
Your words they never spoke so clear to me
The way they did that day
I always dreamed we'd be forever
I always thought it'd be ok
I took for granted all you gave me
I never thought you'd go away
Was this not love that we were sharing
I thought love never went away
Say goodbye to memories
'Cause I have said so long
Say goodbye to all our dreams
It's time now to
I see now this is where our story ends
So just move on I'm told
Today I loved someone for three years
Tomorrow learn to just let go
To have your best friend always be there
Then one day to see her go
My world is falling all around me
And girl your all I know
Say goodbye to memories
'Cause I have said so long
Say goodbye to all our dreams
It's time now to move on
And on and on I've tried to
Let go
My mind can not forget you
You're all I know
Say goodbye to memories
'Cause I have said so long
Say goodbye to all our dreams
It's time now to move on
The way they did that day
I always dreamed we'd be forever
I always thought it'd be ok
I took for granted all you gave me
I never thought you'd go away
Was this not love that we were sharing
I thought love never went away
Say goodbye to memories
'Cause I have said so long
Say goodbye to all our dreams
It's time now to
I see now this is where our story ends
So just move on I'm told
Today I loved someone for three years
Tomorrow learn to just let go
To have your best friend always be there
Then one day to see her go
My world is falling all around me
And girl your all I know
Say goodbye to memories
'Cause I have said so long
Say goodbye to all our dreams
It's time now to move on
And on and on I've tried to
Let go
My mind can not forget you
You're all I know
Say goodbye to memories
'Cause I have said so long
Say goodbye to all our dreams
It's time now to move on

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
wow y are there like no comments? This song is amazing! i agree with musicx3...this song is all about a relationship where the guy thought everything was going smoothly and the girl just broke it off. I think it's also about that feeling when someone you thought you loved has hurt you, and every sane rational part of your being is telling u to move on. At the same time though, for some reason you just can't let go. I love the line "Today I loved someone for three years, tomorrow just let go" because it basically defines the whole song. She wants him to be able to just get over it instantly, the way she's seemed to, but to him it's just ridiculous that he can go from having so much to having nothing so quickly
