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.
In your eyes I see the sun shine
It's so bright that I can't see
And this love is so much stronger
Than everything that I've seen before
In your eyes
I see flowers and trees
In your eyes
I see beautiful things I can't believe
'Cause in your eyes,
I see the love light shined on me
In your eyes, in your eyes, in your eyes
In your eyes I see the sun shine
It's so bright that I can't see
And this love is so much stronger
Than everything that I've seen before
And this love is so much stronger
Than everything that I've seen before
It's so bright that I can't see
And this love is so much stronger
Than everything that I've seen before
In your eyes
I see flowers and trees
In your eyes
I see beautiful things I can't believe
'Cause in your eyes,
I see the love light shined on me
In your eyes, in your eyes, in your eyes
In your eyes I see the sun shine
It's so bright that I can't see
And this love is so much stronger
Than everything that I've seen before
And this love is so much stronger
Than everything that I've seen before

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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
This song is so sad but so pretty! It’s about looking into someone’s eyes, and having all these expectations, you see your love growing into a future together, but they decide to end it and you’re in denial, left to wonder what went wrong.
These lyrics are missing an important stanza:
After: ‘I see the love light shined on me In your eyes, in your eyes, in your eyes’…
It’s missing: ‘As if blue skies bring some rain I feel the blood rush in my veins I never want to see you cry Recently you said good night Did not believe it for a while But you really meant good bye ‘
I like how the voice is very soft, and the way the music crescendos I also like how the lyrics have great visuals — you can experience looking into someone’s eyes, and feeling the blood rush in your veins when you see them cry or sense trouble.
