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.

There's always that one person that will always have your heart
You never see it coming 'cause you're blinded from the start
Know that you're that one for me, it's clear for everyone to see
Oh, baby
[Alison Krauss]
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
[John Mayer]
We got this afternoon
[Alison Krauss]
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark
[John Mayer]
You got this room for two
One thing I've left to do
Discover me discovering you
Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonderland, I'll use my hands
Your body is a wonderland (x2)
([Blondie]
Cover me with kisses, baby
Cover me with love
Cover me with kisses, baby
And I know who you are)
[Alison Krauss]
All day long, I can hear people talking out loud
[Coldplay]
You don't know how lovely you are
[Alison Krauss]
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
[Coldplay]
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh, let's go back to the start
[Alicia Keys]
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Everything's going to be alright
[John Mayer]
'Cause if you want love
We'll make it
Swim in a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break them
This is bound to be a while
Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonderland, I'll use my hands
Your body is a wonderland (x2)

Cover me with kisses, baby
Cover me with love
Cover me with kisses, baby
And I know who you are)

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash, then crash and burn
You're not alone

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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/
