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.

Here's a song
It reminds me of when we were young
Looking back at all the things we've done
You gotta keep on, keepin' on
Out to sea, it's the only place I honestly
Can get myself some piece of mind
You know it's getting hard to fly
If I'm to fall
Would you be there to applaud?
Or would you hide behind them all?
'Cause if I had to go
In my heart you grow
And that's where you belong
If I'm to fall
Would you be there to applaud?
Or would you hide behind them all?
'Cause if I had to go
In my heart you'll grow
And that's where you belong
If I'm to fall
Would you be there to applaud?
Or would you hide behind them all?
'Cause if I had to go
In my heart you'll grow
And that's where you belong
Guess I'm outta time
I'm outta time
I'm outta time
I'm outta time
I'm outta time
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la

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/

American Town

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I am shocked.
Shocked that there are no comments. Also shocked to discover that Liam wrote this.
Clearly a song about somebody moving on. Either by death, moving elsewhere, beginning a new chapter in life.
Not Oasis's best but i like it. I'm looking for a suitable song for a tribute to my best friend who passed away 1 week ago.
This is a contender
