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.
i asked her if she went off to work in a thirties ball gown
why i should sit here and write lyrics around
and she said, smiling, what to write was easy
write a song about mud, music and me
well ocusdubruki were rockin it late last night
flamenco, hip hop rhythm making us all feel right
the sun beating down on the back of my neck
but today its just been pouring wet
but people here have lost the city from them now
walkin past eachother in the rain, smiling, i think wow
is it one night in this field and we're washed from all the rushing
we're all country folk now
laughing and singing and hugging
write me a song about mud, music and me
write me a song about this glastonbury
write me a song about mud, music and me
write me a song about this glastonbury
then i got to wonder whether
lye by a pond singing kiss her
life brings many blessings when you least expect it
it cuts your strings and you're free for that time to be
kiss her and let her kiss me
goin back to her van and i wanna do rudeys
but shes a lady so i just kiss on her boobies
love, i've seen nudeys, kay, you just sued me
score this own goal in me like wayne rooney
write me a song about mud, music and me
write me a song about this glastonbury
write me a song about mud, music and me
write me a song about this glastonbury
everyone is there to remind you
you are on this earth to find love
and we are all standin beside ya
you are on this earth to find love
all the time i search for ya
all the time just lookin for ya
lets take this chance to remember
you are on this earth to find love
you are on this earth to find love
and round the staff campfire, julia said;
we love festival community cause our own communities are dead
that's why every year more people wanna come
community sprits what we mean when we say i wanna have fun
so what does glastonbury teach me?
that human-beings are starving for sprit and community
we need to start now, to show ourselves how
we can feel this change and let real freedom rain
from the dislocated, violated powders in our pain
write me a song about mud, music and me
write me a song about this glastonbury
write me a song about mud, music and me
write me a song about this glastonbury
cause everyone is there to remind ya
you are on this earth to find love
and we are all standin beside ya
you are on this earth to find love
all this time I look for it in ya
all the time just searchin for ya
lets take this chance to remember
you are on this earth to find love
you are on this earth to find love
everyone is, everyone is, everyone is
this Glastonbury.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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/
