Hold her in your fight hand.
And guide her safely home.
Brush away all the thorns and all the stones.
You're my angel without wings.
When I was crying you never left my side.
When I was dying you never left my side.
You're always there for me.
You're my angel without wings.
Your were always without wings.
Without wings

    unfortunately this song has been getting a really bad rap everywhere i go... but i personally think it's great, not annoying or out-of-place or too pop-ish at all...

    This song has great lyrics, but they are lost in the annoying repeatition of the chorus. Zao is the greatest Hardcore band ever and have revolutionized the genre, out of all of the albums, this is the only song i have ever skipped.

    Well once I actually read the lyrics and thought about it - I think this it what it means: I think at the begininng somebody is walking Mary home...When it says 'When I was crying you never left my side, When I was dying you never left my side' I think it's saying how Mary stuck by her son as He was dying on the cross and when it says 'Your my angel without wings' I think it might be God referring to Mary as His closest to thing to an angel without being a spiritual being.

    i don't know who dan meant in this song, but everytime i hear it, i think of a very close friend of mine. my freshman year of college, i went through some pretty harsh depression and was close to suicidal at one point. one night, as i was in my room waiting to take my life, she called me asking if i was ok, because she thought i looked like i wasn't doing so well. there's been other times as well where she has been there for me in ways like that; so the lines in this song quite literally mean something to me. but hey, that's just my 2 cents

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
