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.
I turn the music up a bit to compensate for the rain outside my car
I don't know where it is I'm headed, but I know it can't be far
The water falls like sparks in the black night pooling on the asphalt, I float away
The open road causes me to hallucinate, nostalgia breaks into my head
Fields of grain 10 foot trees outside my window I see
Signs of things that point to you, now I know it's you I'm driving to
Watch the rain hit the pane on the window
Ease my thoughts though I'll never really let go
Of the things that you said when you were cold from
Standing In the rain
Thoughts calm moving at a slower pace
Holding hands as the rain hits my face
All the things you said as your heart floats
From kissing in the rain
Watching white lines go by the rain soaks my face
driving with the cruelest of intentions just to escape this place
you say its different you say it's changed you say it will never be the same
you say youre trying and I believe you but when you say it crying it's hard to
Time is a memory brought up by vocal inconsistency
I try to write about this but, the rain interupts me
Watch the rain hit the pane on the window
Ease my thoughts though I'll never really let go
Of the things that you said when you were cold from
Standing In the rain
Thoughts calm moving at a slower pace
Holding hands as the rain hits my face
All the things you said as your heart floats
From kissing in the rain
I don't know where it is I'm headed, but I know it can't be far
The water falls like sparks in the black night pooling on the asphalt, I float away
The open road causes me to hallucinate, nostalgia breaks into my head
Fields of grain 10 foot trees outside my window I see
Signs of things that point to you, now I know it's you I'm driving to
Watch the rain hit the pane on the window
Ease my thoughts though I'll never really let go
Of the things that you said when you were cold from
Standing In the rain
Thoughts calm moving at a slower pace
Holding hands as the rain hits my face
All the things you said as your heart floats
From kissing in the rain
Watching white lines go by the rain soaks my face
driving with the cruelest of intentions just to escape this place
you say its different you say it's changed you say it will never be the same
you say youre trying and I believe you but when you say it crying it's hard to
Time is a memory brought up by vocal inconsistency
I try to write about this but, the rain interupts me
Watch the rain hit the pane on the window
Ease my thoughts though I'll never really let go
Of the things that you said when you were cold from
Standing In the rain
Thoughts calm moving at a slower pace
Holding hands as the rain hits my face
All the things you said as your heart floats
From kissing in the rain

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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/
