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.
And everyday feels like the other
And everywhere looks just the same
When every dream seems like forever
And your a face without a name
Maybe now is our best chance
To finally get it right
Just look at the world as an apple
And its time to take a bite
Someday it will come together
Someday we will work it out
I know we can turn it up all the way
('Cause this is our someday)
Someday is what we make it
Someday is like here and now
What way what way what way
'Cause this is our someday
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
There are times, times we wonder
Will the spotlight shine on me
Don't let the waves go and pull us under
I missed the opportunity
Don't look down or look back
Its not that far to go
'Cause if we never trap it
We will never really know
Someday it will come together
Someday we will work it out
I know we can turn it up all the way
('Cause this is our someday)
Someday is what we make it
Someday is like here and now
What way what way what way
'Cause this is our someday
And everywhere looks just the same
When every dream seems like forever
And your a face without a name
Maybe now is our best chance
To finally get it right
Just look at the world as an apple
And its time to take a bite
Someday it will come together
Someday we will work it out
I know we can turn it up all the way
('Cause this is our someday)
Someday is what we make it
Someday is like here and now
What way what way what way
'Cause this is our someday
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
There are times, times we wonder
Will the spotlight shine on me
Don't let the waves go and pull us under
I missed the opportunity
Don't look down or look back
Its not that far to go
'Cause if we never trap it
We will never really know
Someday it will come together
Someday we will work it out
I know we can turn it up all the way
('Cause this is our someday)
Someday is what we make it
Someday is like here and now
What way what way what way
'Cause this is our someday

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
