A Little More

Cody Fry's song 'A Little More' delves into the perpetual journey of learning and understanding the world and the people around us. The lyrics reflect a sense of humility and openness, acknowledging that despite our experiences and knowledge, there is always more to learn. The metaphor of 'water underneath every bridge' suggests that every experience and interaction leaves a mark, contributing to our ongoing education about life and human nature. Fry's willingness to give others the benefit of the doubt highlights a compassionate approach to understanding people, even those who are difficult to read.

The song also touches on the theme of communication and the importance of listening. Fry admits to not listening enough and regretting times when he spoke without thinking. This introspection leads to a deeper understanding that anger often masks deeper issues of pain and hurt. By seeing through anger, Fry suggests that we might uncover the true, often vulnerable, nature of others, which could transform our perspectives and foster empathy.

In the final verse, Fry critiques the superficial discourse often seen in media and public conversations. He points out that much of what is said by 'talking heads' and writers is speculative and unhelpful. Instead, he advocates for a collective effort to learn more genuinely and deeply about the world and each other. This call to action is a reminder that true understanding requires continuous effort and a willingness to look beyond the surface. 'A Little More' is a poignant reminder of the value of lifelong learning and the importance of empathy in our interactions with others.
