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 heard you say something quite uninviting
Are you aware the state were in
Hoping to cover the tracks behind us
Try to let the tension in your hands release
And exist in freedom
What doesn't tear you apart gives you peace
Exist in freedom
So what's wrong here?
Run into disaster
Renounce your command
The subject constructed your hate
Now I shield myself from pain
Showing my own expression
In the midst of this disorientation
I'm in the midst of a sinking wreck
A choice to be affected or permit extinction
Putting the power at your feet
In your authority
I won't lay my will down
Renounce your command
Try to let the tension in
Your hands release
And exist in freedom
What doesn't tear you apart gives you peace
Exist in freedom
Are you aware the state were in
Hoping to cover the tracks behind us
Try to let the tension in your hands release
And exist in freedom
What doesn't tear you apart gives you peace
Exist in freedom
So what's wrong here?
Run into disaster
Renounce your command
The subject constructed your hate
Now I shield myself from pain
Showing my own expression
In the midst of this disorientation
I'm in the midst of a sinking wreck
A choice to be affected or permit extinction
Putting the power at your feet
In your authority
I won't lay my will down
Renounce your command
Try to let the tension in
Your hands release
And exist in freedom
What doesn't tear you apart gives you peace
Exist in freedom

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
"Try to let the tension in your hands release, and exist in freedom. What doesn't tear you apart gives you peace. Exist in freedom."
That entire first line sets up the entire song. the build up to this part is insane and when these lines are finally said I feel amazing there is not one bad part in this line. This song is fantastic and i am addicted.
This song makes me feel like i can do anything own the world.
I fully agree with AgressivePro. I've been waiting a long time for some new BOO, and this is everything I had hoped for and more. It's such a emotion packed song. Listening to it makes you feel like you could do anything. It's actually not a 100% new song though, It's actually a remake of one of their old demo songs called "Glass Bluntz" off of their Your Heart Engraved Demo. But the old version didn't have lyrics, and in my opinion, the lyrics make an already great song perfect.
what does he scream from :36 to :39? It's certainly not "I was giving it up"
I feel almost certain that he says, "Natural disaster."<br /> That is what I always have thought.<br /> The word natural may not be correct, but I feel that disaster is.
