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.
Nervous standing at his door
She knocks, he lets her in
The flame that flickered long before
When they were only kids
Just one thing
The thought inside her head
She turns to him
And looks at her and says
Every moment in your life
Comes down to what you hold inside
Looking back on days gone by
I'd always think of you
Take a picture from the past
And try to make the moment last
I wish I would have told you
I just wanna hold you tonight
(Tonight)
I just wanna hold you tonight
(Tonight)
The living room they start to talk
The memories flooding in
Of drinking in the parking lot
And dances in the gym
Just one thing
The thought inside her head
She turns to him
And looks at her and says
Every moment in your life
Comes down to what you hold inside
Looking back on days gone by
I'd always think of you
Take a picture from the past
And try to make the moment last
I wish I would have told you
I just wanna hold you tonight
(Tonight)
I just wanna hold you tonight
(Tonight)
Many nights he lied awake thinking
The moments passed him by
But they hold on to the memories
It's so hard
Every moment in our lives
Comes down to what we hold inside
Looking back on days gone by
I'd always think of you
Every moment in your life
Comes down to what you hold inside
Looking back on days gone by
I'd always think of you
Take a picture from the past
And try to make the moment last
I wish I would have told you
I just wanna hold you tonight
I just wanna hold you tonight
I just wanna hold you tonight
I just wanna hold you tonight
I just wanna hold you tonight
She knocks, he lets her in
The flame that flickered long before
When they were only kids
Just one thing
The thought inside her head
She turns to him
And looks at her and says
Every moment in your life
Comes down to what you hold inside
Looking back on days gone by
I'd always think of you
Take a picture from the past
And try to make the moment last
I wish I would have told you
I just wanna hold you tonight
(Tonight)
I just wanna hold you tonight
(Tonight)
The living room they start to talk
The memories flooding in
Of drinking in the parking lot
And dances in the gym
Just one thing
The thought inside her head
She turns to him
And looks at her and says
Every moment in your life
Comes down to what you hold inside
Looking back on days gone by
I'd always think of you
Take a picture from the past
And try to make the moment last
I wish I would have told you
I just wanna hold you tonight
(Tonight)
I just wanna hold you tonight
(Tonight)
Many nights he lied awake thinking
The moments passed him by
But they hold on to the memories
It's so hard
Every moment in our lives
Comes down to what we hold inside
Looking back on days gone by
I'd always think of you
Every moment in your life
Comes down to what you hold inside
Looking back on days gone by
I'd always think of you
Take a picture from the past
And try to make the moment last
I wish I would have told you
I just wanna hold you tonight
I just wanna hold you tonight
I just wanna hold you tonight
I just wanna hold you tonight
I just wanna hold you tonight

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/
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.
