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.
You're not fair
Telling me
You faked every orgasm
You've had with me
That's just fine
Now it's over
And I'm out here
Banging my head
After all the dancing
And spilling beer all over the place
I lie out here
In disgrace
You've had your fun
Kissed some bloke you shouldn't have
Right in front of me
Punched him to the floor
I could have killed him there
But I got thrown out
I'll get him some other time
When he leasts expects it
Telling me
You faked every orgasm
You've had with me
That's just fine
Now it's over
And I'm out here
Banging my head
After all the dancing
And spilling beer all over the place
I lie out here
In disgrace
You've had your fun
Kissed some bloke you shouldn't have
Right in front of me
Punched him to the floor
I could have killed him there
But I got thrown out
I'll get him some other time
When he leasts expects it

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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
hahaha- its scary how much i can relate to this song.
this song is so out of hand. it's wonderful. haha.
why would anyone ever do this to this man? They are crazy mad mental man. i feel so sorry for him. he's a genius.
nice, i can relate. she just had him for sex. i fel with you, man :D
..different in just about every way from 'An Olive Grove..' before it on the album.
Both amazing songs.
awesome stuff
Oh, the way he sings this one. I would just kill him. It's so amazing. My fingers just tense up and I go all frozen the first time he says "You're Not Fair". Great title too. I love the way it is the name of the Album. It seems that even when the two people the song is concerning (aka Lightbody and his ex) are apart, still they play a big part in each others lives. As in, The End is never really the End! I relate!
