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.
I can hear her heart beat from a thousand miles
Yeah, the heavens open every time she smiles
And when I come to her, that's where I belong
Yeah, and I run into her like a river's song
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She got a fine sense of humor when I'm feeling low down
Yeah, when I come to her when the sun goes down
Take away my trouble, take away my grief
Take away my heartache in the night like a thief
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
Yeah, and I need her in the daytime (I need her)
Yeah, and I need her in the night (I need her)
Yeah, and I want to throw my arms around her (I need her)
And kiss and hug her, kiss and hug her tight
Yeah, when I'm returning from so far away
She give me some sweet lovin', brighten up my day
Yeah, and it make me righteous, yeah, and it make me whole
Yeah, and it make me mellow down into my soul
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
Yeah, the heavens open every time she smiles
And when I come to her, that's where I belong
Yeah, and I run into her like a river's song
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She got a fine sense of humor when I'm feeling low down
Yeah, when I come to her when the sun goes down
Take away my trouble, take away my grief
Take away my heartache in the night like a thief
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
Yeah, and I need her in the daytime (I need her)
Yeah, and I need her in the night (I need her)
Yeah, and I want to throw my arms around her (I need her)
And kiss and hug her, kiss and hug her tight
Yeah, when I'm returning from so far away
She give me some sweet lovin', brighten up my day
Yeah, and it make me righteous, yeah, and it make me whole
Yeah, and it make me mellow down into my soul
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love

The Night We Met
Lord Huron

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
Hey don't forget Music that Aaron Neville did a dead-on cover for the movie Phenomenom. By dead-on i mean as far as voice, the music was a little different. THe other day i heard a cover of Jackie Wilson Said (I'm in Heaven) on a country station but it was very close to the original. I commend the artist for staying respectful to Van the Man and not butchering his great work. Can anyone tell me who it was?
I also love this song and LOVE Van Morrison, there's also a version with Van and Ray Charles on his CD Genius Loves Company, It's a great version!
Also, there is a Comfortably Numb rendition as well.
I can't believe no one has posted anything about this song. It is amazing. It just one of those feel good love songs. A classic if you ask me....
Ah, i agree. Classic. Although, he doesnt sound as much like himself in this song.
Definitely agree... I've been very into covers of this song as well as the original... check out Cassandra Wilson, Cornell Hangovers any more? let me know!
Thanks for the info! I should invest more time into listening to female covers of songs that are originally flawless when written and performed by males. It could become confusing, I guess.
i sing this to my little sister as a night time lullaby.
i love this song...period
this has to be one of my favorites, it's the way i'd like a man to feel about the way i can love. there is a really good version with van and bob dylan. my favorite
It's THE love song.
Joan Armatrading said only Van Morrison had the range to cover her songs - high praise cos she didn't want anyone to cover them
One of the most beautiful love song i know.... Van is the best if it comes to love songs.
