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.
Heftur Með Gaddavír Í Kjaftinum Sem Blæðir Mig
Læstur Er Lokaður Inn Í Búri
Dýr Nakinn Ber Á Mig
Og Bankar Upp Á Frelsari
Ótaminn Setur Í Ný Batterí
Og Hleður Á Ný
Og Hleður Á Ný
Og Hleður Á Ný
Og Hleður Á Ný
Við Tætum Tryllt Af Stað
Út Í Óvissuna
Þar Til Að Við Rústum Öllu Og Reisum Aftur
Aftur Á Ný
Aftur Á Ný
Aftur Á Ný
Aftur Á Bak Þar Sem Við Ríðum
Aftur Með Gaddavír
Í Kjaftinum Sem Rífur Upp Gamalt Gróið Sár
Er Orðinn Ryðguð Sál
Rafmagnið Búið
Mig Langar Að Skera
Og Rista Sjálfan Mig Á Hol
En Þori Það Ekki
Frekar Slekk Ég Á Mér
Aleinn Á Ný
Læstur Er Lokaður Inn Í Búri
Dýr Nakinn Ber Á Mig
Og Bankar Upp Á Frelsari
Ótaminn Setur Í Ný Batterí
Og Hleður Á Ný
Og Hleður Á Ný
Og Hleður Á Ný
Og Hleður Á Ný
Við Tætum Tryllt Af Stað
Út Í Óvissuna
Þar Til Að Við Rústum Öllu Og Reisum Aftur
Aftur Á Ný
Aftur Á Ný
Aftur Á Ný
Aftur Á Bak Þar Sem Við Ríðum
Aftur Með Gaddavír
Í Kjaftinum Sem Rífur Upp Gamalt Gróið Sár
Er Orðinn Ryðguð Sál
Rafmagnið Búið
Mig Langar Að Skera
Og Rista Sjálfan Mig Á Hol
En Þori Það Ekki
Frekar Slekk Ég Á Mér
Aleinn Á Ný

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/
