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.
It's true that I'm a silver shadow
And you are always on my mind
You, you need to get over here
We'll disappear
Your secrets safe
And no one has to know
I'm your getaway
And a little bit more than you can take
I can make
Everything feel so damn good
I could have sworn
We danced right here tonight
Come on and dance with me
Come on and dance with me, baby
And don't you know
I'm just here tonight?
You wanna dance with me
You wanna dance with me all night
Nobody there will ever see your eyes
Don't talk, don't walk
Just the two of us
Dance with me
Dance with me
Come on and dance with me
Dance with me, baby
Soon we're heading to a place
Where I'll prove
I'm all you want and more
You, you need to let it unfold
Just like you're told
Your secrets safe
And no one has to know
I'm your getaway
And a little bit more than you can take
I can make
Everything feel so damn good
I could have sworn
We danced right here tonight
Come on and dance with me
Come on and dance with me, baby
And don't you know
I'm just here tonight?
You wanna dance with me
You wanna dance with me all night
Nobody there will ever see your eyes
Don't talk, don't walk
Just the two of us
Dance with me
Dance with me
Come on and dance with me
Dance with me, baby
Soon we're heading to a place
Where I'll prove
I'm all you want and more
You, you need to let it unfold
Just like you're told
Your secrets safe
And no one has to know
I'm your getaway
And a little bit more than you can take
I can make
Everything feel so damn good
I could have sworn
We danced right here tonight
Come on and dance with me
Come on and dance with me, baby
And don't you know
I'm just here tonight?
You wanna dance with me
You wanna dance with me all night
Nobody there will ever see your eyes
Don't talk, don't walk
Just the two of us
Dance with me
Dance with me
Come on and dance with me
Dance with me, baby
And you are always on my mind
You, you need to get over here
We'll disappear
Your secrets safe
And no one has to know
I'm your getaway
And a little bit more than you can take
I can make
Everything feel so damn good
I could have sworn
We danced right here tonight
Come on and dance with me
Come on and dance with me, baby
And don't you know
I'm just here tonight?
You wanna dance with me
You wanna dance with me all night
Nobody there will ever see your eyes
Don't talk, don't walk
Just the two of us
Dance with me
Dance with me
Come on and dance with me
Dance with me, baby
Soon we're heading to a place
Where I'll prove
I'm all you want and more
You, you need to let it unfold
Just like you're told
Your secrets safe
And no one has to know
I'm your getaway
And a little bit more than you can take
I can make
Everything feel so damn good
I could have sworn

Come on and dance with me
Come on and dance with me, baby
And don't you know

Dance with me
Come on and dance with me
Dance with me, baby

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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/
this song is like my life... He's a girls secret...pretty much... wants to prove he should be more than that....
