Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I don't mind it, I don't mind if you're overrated.
Or if you're staring at the edge of the world.
Keep in mind that I'm sore of blurry vision.
But I can see it has to be you, love, that I've been dreaming of.
And if we climb this high, I swear we'll never die.
I don't mind it, I don't mind if you're overrated.
Or if you're staring at the edge of the world.
Keep in mind that I'm sore of blurry vision.
But I can see it has to be you, love, that I've been dreaming of.
And if we climb this high, I swear we'll never die.
We'll never die.
I don't mind it, I don't mind if you're overrated.
Or if you're staring at the edge of the world.
Keep in mind that I'm sore of blurry vision.
But I can see it has to be you, love, that I've been dreaming of.
And if we climb this high, I swear we'll never die.
I don't mind it, I don't mind if you're overrated.
Or if you're staring at the edge of the world.
Keep in mind that I'm sore of blurry vision.
But I can see it has to be you, love, that I've been dreaming of.
And if we climb this high, I swear we'll never die.
We'll never die.
Or if you're staring at the edge of the world.
Keep in mind that I'm sore of blurry vision.
But I can see it has to be you, love, that I've been dreaming of.
And if we climb this high, I swear we'll never die.
I don't mind it, I don't mind if you're overrated.
Or if you're staring at the edge of the world.
Keep in mind that I'm sore of blurry vision.
But I can see it has to be you, love, that I've been dreaming of.
And if we climb this high, I swear we'll never die.
We'll never die.
I don't mind it, I don't mind if you're overrated.
Or if you're staring at the edge of the world.
Keep in mind that I'm sore of blurry vision.
But I can see it has to be you, love, that I've been dreaming of.
And if we climb this high, I swear we'll never die.
I don't mind it, I don't mind if you're overrated.
Or if you're staring at the edge of the world.
Keep in mind that I'm sore of blurry vision.
But I can see it has to be you, love, that I've been dreaming of.
And if we climb this high, I swear we'll never die.
We'll never die.

@[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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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

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/
This has to be the best song on the Album, and that vocalist has the best voice i've heard in hardcore his voice+ the lyrics + the whole feel the song has makes me cry...and i'm a guy haha :) i wish i could write a song half as good as that...this is a song that deserves to be #1 in the US and the UK
What a beautiful song! I believe it's just about pure love. He doesn't care about her flaws because he has his own. Also, he has great faith in the relationship.
I believe alan wrote this song, he wrote most of the songs on the album. I wish i knew which ones..
Alan didn't write this... or most of the album. Alan and Austin did a few of the heavier songs (Ohioisonfire, I'm A Monster, Product of a Murderer, O.G. Loko, Still YDG'n) and Shayley did the rest. There's a reason that Austin says, in every interview, this is his favorite song. Shayley killed the vocals on his own and barely got help writing it from anyone else. This, Repeating Apologies, The Great Hendowski, and When You Can't Sleep At Night are all songs he did almost solely on his own..
The song has AMAZING meaning. This is actually one of my favorite songs. I do think Austin wrote it.. I'm not that sure though. (: But yeah, if you can't tell the song is about how he doesn't care if she's different he loves her either way.
accually shayley wrote it. i saw in an interview where austin said that shay had written 2 songs and both included no screamo just him singing
To begin with, yes it's obvious that the speaker is completely in love with the subject. And there is some sort of rift in their relationship. The speaker claims to not care about the subject's imperfections or that they may not be the best choice for each other. The speaker "blurs out" the bad parts and only knows the love for the subject.
In the end they don't care that they might not be the best fit, the speaker only cares that he loves her and that he's willing to work through the problems and "climb higher" so that their mismatched aspects don't matter any more and their love will "never die."
