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.
How can I do wrong babe?
When right is where your heart is near me
With each and every song baby
You are my only source of melody,
Baby girl come on baby girl come on come on
Keep it there till dawn baby
Till comes the coming second coming
All over me oh oh
Do me till I'm done
Do me till I'm done
Do me till I'm done
Till comes up the sun
Moon goes where it's from
Till morning comes
Sideways, upside down
Ceiling or the ground
Till my lost is found
Each hour each second each minute each day
Of my life baby
Each night of my life baby
With every other breath baby I drown,
You always make the rain baby like sunshine
It's like I never ever doubted me
It's like I'm almost close to diggin' me
You made what I was missing baby all mine
Keep doing it on and on
How can I do wrong babe?
When right is where your heart is near me
With each and every song baby
You are my only source of melody,
Baby girl come on baby girl come on come on
Keep it there till dawn baby
Till comes the coming second coming
All over me oh oh
Do me till I'm done
Till my lost is found
Each hour each second each minute each day
Of my life baby
Each night of my life baby
Do me till I'm done
Till my lost is found
Each hour each second each minute each day
Of my life baby
Each night of my life baby
How can I do wrong babe?
When right is where your heart is near me
With each and every song baby
You are my only source of melody,
Baby girl come on baby girl come on come on
Keep it there till dawn baby
Till comes the coming second coming
All over me oh oh
When right is where your heart is near me
With each and every song baby
You are my only source of melody,
Baby girl come on baby girl come on come on
Keep it there till dawn baby
Till comes the coming second coming
All over me oh oh
Do me till I'm done
Do me till I'm done
Do me till I'm done
Till comes up the sun
Moon goes where it's from
Till morning comes
Sideways, upside down
Ceiling or the ground
Till my lost is found
Each hour each second each minute each day
Of my life baby
Each night of my life baby
With every other breath baby I drown,
You always make the rain baby like sunshine
It's like I never ever doubted me
It's like I'm almost close to diggin' me
You made what I was missing baby all mine
Keep doing it on and on
How can I do wrong babe?
When right is where your heart is near me
With each and every song baby
You are my only source of melody,
Baby girl come on baby girl come on come on
Keep it there till dawn baby
Till comes the coming second coming
All over me oh oh
Do me till I'm done
Till my lost is found
Each hour each second each minute each day
Of my life baby
Each night of my life baby
Do me till I'm done
Till my lost is found
Each hour each second each minute each day
Of my life baby
Each night of my life baby
How can I do wrong babe?
When right is where your heart is near me
With each and every song baby
You are my only source of melody,
Baby girl come on baby girl come on come on
Keep it there till dawn baby
Till comes the coming second coming
All over me oh oh

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
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"

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”
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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/
how are there no comments?
this is probably one of the most sensual songs i have ever had the pleasure of feeling, deeply, and we all know maxwell will do that for you. a comment under the video on youtube said that the chorus resonates throughout the universe, as he travels throughout the video. amazing analogy. till my lost is found. each night of my life beautiful
