I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Spread love, oh
Spread love
Spread love, oh
Spread love
People round the world lend me your ear
I come to you with words of joy and cheer
Love's a message that I bring to you
And there's no reason to be mean and blue
Spread love
Spread love all over the land
Spread love
Every woman, girl, and boy, and man
Spread love
We can walk together hand in hand
Spread love
This is a part of the master plan
Nations fearing one another's force
Hate breeds fear, oh yes it does
We can find ourselves a brighter day
If you take to heart the words I say
Spread love
Spread love all over the land
Spread love
Every woman, girl, and boy, and man
Spread love
We can walk together hand in hand
Spread love
This is a part of the master plan
Spread love
Spread love, oh
Spread love
People round the world lend me your ear
I come to you with words of joy and cheer
Love's a message that I bring to you
And there's no reason to be mean and blue
Spread love
Spread love all over the land
Spread love
Every woman, girl, and boy, and man
Spread love
We can walk together hand in hand
Spread love
This is a part of the master plan
Nations fearing one another's force
Hate breeds fear, oh yes it does
We can find ourselves a brighter day
If you take to heart the words I say
Spread love
Spread love all over the land
Spread love
Every woman, girl, and boy, and man
Spread love
We can walk together hand in hand
Spread love
This is a part of the master plan

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.
Page

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
