i was nowhere,
till you changed my mind,
love is sent through being good to you.

then you were somewhere,
somewhere hard to find,
only what you always were,its true.

i'm looking for an open door,
where i can sit,and play in peace with you.

tomorrow changes
fields of green today,
yesterday is dead,but not my memory,

we were strangers,
and then you came to stay,
the sweetest spring dawn morning sings to me.

so now i've found a living sound,
that moves,that breathes and then makes love to me.

    My Interpretation

    This song is a very special song for me, reminds me of my first love (in the cover by Gene which I had as a b-side) so I've spent a LOT of time listening to it.

    It's a love song, but a slightly bittersweet one (the bits about 'you came to stay' and 'open door' resonated as it was a long distance relationship - he did come to stay, and vice versa) but the bits about 'tomorrow changes' are a reminder that it doesn't or didn't last, and the parts about open door almost seem nostalgic and wanting to return to that previous love 'yesterday is dead,but not my memory' and 'then you were somewhere, somewhere hard to find' which literally or metaphorically suggests that they grew apart, or were literally apart - hence why I connected with this song I guess.

    It's quite odd in a way, parts are written as an 'in love' song and others seem to be written afterwards looking back, which is quite unusual and why I probably love it, that mix of nostalgic, bittersweet, knowing it doesn't last but loving the moment it does.

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/
