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.
Boy I trust you and all
But I been here before you.
You remind me of pain,
But I can`t ignore you.
After I met you boy,
I tried my best not to think of you.
Such a silly game to play,
To eventually just lose to you.
Can I get another chance to hold you tonight
Dance on my left and things feel so right
Hold you boy with all of my might
Just don`t let you slip away
I poured my heart out to you
From now to daylight
So you would know hurting you was never my right
I`m trying to see what`s in the closet tonight
So please except this as my plea:
I love you
I love you
I love you
Hey Hey, so don`t break my heart (verse 2X)
I sat and waited for my chance,
To let you know just how I feel.
I held it in for far too long.
I couldn`t tell if this was real.
I never thought I`d understand,
How it feels to be hurt and to love again.
I guess it`s possible for me,
That`s why I let you in.
Can I get another chance to hold you tonight
Dance on my left and things feel so right
Hold you boy with all of my might
And I won`t let you slip away
I poured my heart out to you
From now to daylight
So you would know hurting you was never my right
I`m trying to see what`s in the closet tonight
So please except this as my plea:
I love you
I love you
I love you
Hey Hey, so don`t break my heart (verse 2X)
Like stars in the sky
You were light of my life
That`s why I love you
Just don`t break my heart
Without you by my side
I was wasting my time
But now I love you
Just don`t break my heart
I love you
I love you
I love you
Hey Hey, so don`t break my heart (verse 2X)Boy I trust you and all,
But I been here before you.
You remind me of pain,
But I can`t ignore you.
After I met you boy,
I tried my best not to think of you.

Holiday

@[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.
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/
