Dites-moi où, n'en quel pays
Est Flora, la belle Romaine
Archipiades, né Thaïs
Qui fut sa cousine germaine
Écho parlant quand bruit on mène
Dessus rivière ou sur étang
Qui beauté eu trop plus qu'humaine
Mais où sont les neiges d'antan
Qui beauté eu trop plus qu'humaine
Mais où sont les neiges d'antan

Où est la très sage Hélloïs
Pour qui châtré fut et puis moine
Pierre Esbaillart à Saint-Denis
Pour son amour eu cette essoine
Semblablement, où est la reine
Qui commanda que Buridan
Fut jeté en un sac en Seine
Mais où sont les neiges d'antan
Fut jeté en un sac en Seine
Mais où sont les neiges d'antan

La reine blanche comme lis
Qui chantait à voix de sirène
Berte au grand pied, Bietris, Alis
Harembourgis qui tint le Maine
Et Jeanne la bonne Lorraine
Qu'Anglais brûlèrent à Rouen
Où sont-ils Vierge souveraine
Mais où sont les neiges d'antan
Où sont-ils Vierge souveraine
Mais où sont les neiges d'antan

Prince, n'enquérez de semaine
Où elles sont, né de cet an
Que ce refrain ne vous remaine
Mais où sont les neiges d'antan
Que ce refrain ne vous remaine
Mais où sont les neiges d'antan

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

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/

Blue
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.
