Traffic, "Gimme Some Lovin''"On: Welcome to the Canteen (1971)
What the song is about: Um...feeling good?....As the story goes, the band wrote the song in a hour based on a riff Steve Winwood was singing, and then they spent the rest of the day in a bar...so I've never tried to find meaning in the lyrics. I just enjoy the song.
Why I'm listening to it: I love anything in Steve Winwood's catalog, and "Gimme" is my favorite song of all time. This Traffic-esque rendition, performed by the sortakinda reunited (but mostly modified) band in London, has made my Sunday thesis writing much easier.
Best part of the song: "So glad we maaaaaaaaaaaaaade it!!!!!!!!!"
