Nightfall follows the day
You fight with me
Fill me with patience
I was so brave once
You rescued me
Got in my way

A thousand times
Dumbfounded lies
In tidy lines
Let blood flood the town

Thoughts that dwell
On how we fell
That time will tell
A bedside story of

We've heard it before
Unsettled sleep
When will it all stop?
I hear a pin drop
You've answered me
Loud and clear

So know your fate
The time and date
We escalate
We fall on holy ground

Thoughts that dwell
On how we fell
That time will tell
A bedside story of

I'm here
Leave me to wait near
You recognise me
Get in my way, dear
The price to pay, dear
You'll recognise me
I'll be laying

Where your golden light
Where your golden light

A thousand times
In tidy lines
Let blood flood the town

Thoughts that dwell
On how we fell
That time will tell
A bedside story of

    Ok here is the deal: I am a huge Gomez fan, but alas I am alone in the world in that regard. So my mission: comment on every Gomez song that I've heard of in order to help share the experience of the pure joy that is Gomez. A lofty goal yes, but I am up for the challenge. Download a few of these songs then go buy an album!!!

    Ok... here I go... This is song is in the slow, smoky category of Gomez songs. It hilights Ben Ottewell's bluesy vocals that are really unique in music today and it's his vocals are what makes this song great.

    It's a classic tale of breaking up with his girl, which is a theme often visited by the boys. I like the first verse about how he liked her from the start because she rescued him by getting in his way, which I take to mean that despite their fighting, she got him out of his routines, which is good. The rest of the song seems to be about how he feels that for good or bad, it's over between them and we'll see if it was the right decision or not in time, and it'll be like a bedtime story... that is so cool. "A 1000 times, in tidy lines, Let blood flood the town" is a little scary. It brings up imagery of the lines of somenone getting cut, but the tidy lines could be the 1000 times they hurt each other with lies and fights, and he's tired of it and they should let themselves bleed out their wounds in forgiveness and move on. Good stuff.

    Yeah, it's all about long time scales. The relationship was long term... The amount of time it will take for him to be suffering from the "wounds" (mental and physical). Very emotive stuff.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Holiday
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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
