This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
There'll be three white horses
All in a line
There'll be three white horses
In a line
Three white horses when you go that way
You will need somebody when you come to die
Don't dismiss it like it's easy
Tell me what's so easy
About coming to say goodbye?
You're gonna miss her in the evening
You know all you need is
Somebody when you come to die
There'll be three white horses
All in a line
There'll be three white horses
In a line
Three white horses when you go that way
You will need somebody when you come to die
It's not desperation that we're breeding
It's just a need we're feeding
Before we say goodbye
You're gonna miss me in the evening
You know all you need is
Somebody when you come to die
all you need is
Somebody when you come to die
All in a line
There'll be three white horses
In a line
Three white horses when you go that way
You will need somebody when you come to die
Don't dismiss it like it's easy
Tell me what's so easy
About coming to say goodbye?
You're gonna miss her in the evening
You know all you need is
Somebody when you come to die
There'll be three white horses
All in a line
There'll be three white horses
In a line
Three white horses when you go that way
You will need somebody when you come to die
It's not desperation that we're breeding
It's just a need we're feeding
Before we say goodbye
You're gonna miss me in the evening
You know all you need is
Somebody when you come to die
all you need is
Somebody when you come to die

Just A Little Lovin'

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” 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.

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.
I'm not entirely sure about the song's meaning, particularly because I'm not sure the significance of "three" white horses, and there must be a reason considering it's the title. However, I'll do my best.
The one thing I'm sure of is that the song is about death, ending a relationship, and the human drive for companionship. The singer and his (former?) partner are both present in the song, and they are discussing breaking up. The one being broken up with is confused and upset. I don't believe they're breaking up because of lack of love; it seems like the one is leaving the other because of a personal issue, or feeling like he doesn't deserve companionship, or perhaps he is emotionally wounded and runs away from relationships, thinking they don't last or he doesn't need them.
I'm more inclined toward the last possibility because the lyrics say, "It's not desperation that we're breeding, it's just a need we're feeding." This is the line about the human drive for companionship. Humans desire partners because they don't want to feel alone, and they most definitely don't want to die alone. The singer's partner wants the other person to understand it isn't weakness to want love, it's a natural part of life. It seems the singer himself knows this as well, deep down, as he is the one saying, "You're gonna miss her in the evening."
Like I said before, I'm not sure of the significance of "three" white horses, but white horses have loads of mythological and symbolic importance. For this song, I think the most fitting interpretation would be that white horses often appear at the end of days, their riders passing judgements and offering redemption to the souls they come across. I think the singer's partner is calling for him to reevaluate his life, think about whether he might regret pushing everyone that loves him away when he reaches the end. I think what the singer's love wants most is to offer the person she loves redemption, and, beneath his insecurities, I think the singer himself desires this as well.
i definitely agree! three white horses may represent different faiths.<br /> not needing anyone may mean that she's irreplaceable and/or that he thinks she'd feel better without his companionship.
