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.
A storm is raging inside my head
The wind is howling such thoughts of death
Why am I so lost and confused?
Can't find the reason for feeling blue
There's so much I can't explain
Hope this season changes soon
The lightning strikes and the mountains fall
The sea's come crashing against it all
Hang on tight in the tides of change
And get your bearings from those still sane
There's so much I've yet to feel
Hope the seasons change me too.
The serpent tangles in the lion's claw
A cloud of darkness hangs over all
As fires soar in search of sky
So blow embers like fire flies
Hoping love is where they'll lie
And the season change us too.
The wind is howling such thoughts of death
Why am I so lost and confused?
Can't find the reason for feeling blue
There's so much I can't explain
Hope this season changes soon
The lightning strikes and the mountains fall
The sea's come crashing against it all
Hang on tight in the tides of change
And get your bearings from those still sane
There's so much I've yet to feel
Hope the seasons change me too.
The serpent tangles in the lion's claw
A cloud of darkness hangs over all
As fires soar in search of sky
So blow embers like fire flies
Hoping love is where they'll lie
And the season change us too.

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/
