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.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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/
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Wow.. Lyrical content.
I heard somewhere that yes, this is about a girl who is obsessed with the band The Killers. She is in a group of kids who call themselves "The Victims" since they are fans of The Killers.... get it?
Love this song. :)
i read that this song was a joke between kate & her friend caroline
haha i just thought it was taking the mick out of people who follow the crowd
Yeah, apparently it's about how her friend Caroline loved the Killers and she made it 'cause she was a bit bored one day.
like, the band the killers?<br /> i LOVE them!!!
lol, it really doesnt go that deep. the song started as a joke with a mate, ended up being a bit of a tune.
It's so deep and meaningful, really gets to you...haunting and, I kid you not, close to the lyrical genius of, say, Muse or Willy Mason.
LOL
It's a bit of a joke; the video made me laugh, seriosly CHAVAFIED and totally Nu-Rave. I wish she didnt release this as a single, because I was very prejuidice aganist her for some time, but then I heard 'Merry Happy' (Cute!) and 'the Nicest Thing' (ah...those feelings) and I realised she wasn't trying to k-k-k-kill music (grins see what I did there?).
aaah I see what you did there ;)
muse's lyrics get confusing sometimes like kate nash wink<br /> but i see know similarities in deepness, especially not in this song<br /> how is it deep?
LOOOOOOOL if Caroline's a victim I'm a victim too because just like her i like to play The Killers on my pc/mp3 all the time not only for me but for the entire neighbourhood listen to it because The Killers are GODS ^_^' Thank you Caroline/Kate, good job!
i love them too!!!!<br /> Brandon is not gay, he's married (not that that would be a problem if he was)
this song annoys the hell out of me. didnt think it was the same person when i heard all her pop stuff
haha at first listen i hated it. but now i love it whole heartedly. and i love how if u sing it, someone will carry on. coz lets face it, the words arent THAT hard to learn... 8-) x
