She won't falter easy
She'll be careful, she'll be coy
But still she paints her heart
Among the musings of a boy

If You find her
Tell her that I love her
If she hears You
Ask her heart to come

At the break of morning
The day awaits her when she sleeps
Deep inside her dreams is all
The beauty that she keeps

    I definitely get it that he wrote it about his wife, but here's what I think...

    I think that the song is written like God is talking to Eric ABOUT his wife. Like...pointing out all the little things about her that He loves, so that Eric can see them and love them too. The chorus is basically God telling Eric to be a good husband by showing his wife how much God loves her, all the time. That's what I see, anyway.

    this song is from the view of God, singing to his daughter who perhaps has wandered away from his path for her. she may be occupied with worldly love, painting her heart among the musings of a boy. But God still seeks her out..."If you find her, tell her that I love her...ask her heart to come." beautiful.

    it is without a doubt the view from God. "She won't falter easy, she'll be careful, she'll be coy. But still she paints her heart among the musings of a boy."

    Honestly I think it could be about God's relationship with her daughter, or it could be about a really awesome Christian guy looking for an awesome girl who is so wrapped up in God that she's not one of the people who gives parts of herself away to people and he's saying she's out there somewhere and he's telling her that he's out there and he loves her even though he doesn't know her, but he knows she's out there.

    Although it could very well be seen as a song from a man to a woman, and we all know a song can be interpreted ANY way the listener wants, I'm pretty sure that this song is technically from God to His daughter as previous users suggested.
    Future of Forestry is a Christian band, so this meaning to the song makes perfect sense. In fact, I believe their own band name is based on a piece by C.S. Lewis, an astounding Christian author!

    My Opinion

    just because he wrote it for his wife doesn't mean it isn't already spiritual. the way i interpreted it is as God telling his believers to tell His other children that he loves them. to let God's love be evident. I can most definitely see where other people are coming from though, that was just what popped into my head.

    "ask her heart to come" This line wouldn't fit in a love song from a human to a human. This is indefinitely God talking to a believer about a girl that He loves(because he loves all of us and has made us beautiful in different ways.) It's definitely what I got from the song... especially cause it's in a worship album for me.. it fit perfectly in.

    this song is so beautiful it's ridiculous. why aren't there more guys like this in our world?

    the acoustic is amazing along with the keyboard.

    Are you sure? I don't see anything that indicates this is about God's love for His people. It seems like it's about romance between people?

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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/

Blue
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.
