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 saw you soon as you came bouncing through the door
You and your mans and them just took over the floor
Started doing your thing and it made me notice you even more
The way you turned around and looked at me it seemed as though
You must have somehow felt me staring on the low
Something tells me you're the kind of guy I'd like to get to know
I ain't even gonna front
I ain't even gonna lie
Since you walked up in the club
I've been giving you the eye
We can dance if you want
Get it cracking if you like
Must be a full moon
Feel like one of those nights
Why is this the first time that I'm seeing you around?
Could you be visiting or are you new in town? Yeah
Whatever the case, I'm feeling you right here and right now
Your smile and all the love you show me let's me know that you
Like what you see and want to get to know me too
This could very well be the start of something special
Happy that I met you
I ain't even gonna front (baby)
I ain't even gonna lie
Since you walked up in the club
I've been giving you the eye (giving you the eye)
We can dance if you want (dance if you want)
Get it cracking if you like (cracking if you like)
Must be a full moon (a full moon)
Feel like one of those nights
I ain't even gonna front (even gonna front)
I ain't even gonna lie (even gonna lie)
Since you walked up in the club (walked up in the club)
I've been giving you the eye (giving you the eye)
We can dance if you want (oh-whoa)
Get it cracking if you like (cracking if you like)
Must be a full moon
Feel like one of those nights
I didn't think that I'd come here tonight
Meet someone like you
Start feeling the way I do
Seems like we've known each other
Most of our lives
After one conversation
This must be right
I ain't even gonna front (even gonna front)
I ain't even gonna lie (ooh, baby)
Since you walked up in the club (ayy)
I've been giving you the eye
We can dance if you want
Get it cracking if you like
Must be a full moon
Feel like one of those nights (oh-oh)
I ain't even gonna front
I ain't even gonna lie (I ain't even gonna)
Since you walked (lie) up in the club
I've been giving you the eye (whoa-whoa)
We can dance if you want (whoa-whoa)
Get it cracking if you like (whoa-whoa)
Must be a full moon (whoa-whoa)
Feel like one of those nights
I ain't even gonna front (even gonna front)
I ain't even gonna lie (even gonna lie)
Since you walked up in the club (walked up in the club)
I've been giving you the eye (giving you the eye)
We can dance if you want (dance if you want)
Get it cracking if you like (cracking if you like)
Must be a full moon (a full moon)
Feel like one of those nights (one of those nights)
Hello? (yo)

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Little Feat
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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/

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.
