Lately

Divine

Lately (I've been watching you)
Been thinkin' 'bout you baby
(and everything you do)
Just sittin' away watching the days go by
Just sittin' away watching the days go by

Have you ever felt a breeze hit hard,
Like the wind was blowing it apart
As you're spinning like a merry-go-round
Indications of a storm touching down
Wish that I can wear the rain and storm,
But I guess it was heart break from the norm
Was a day I will always remember,
The saddest day in sweet November

Lately (I've been watching you) been thinkin' 'bout you baby
(And everything you do)
Just sittin' away watching the days go by

Lately (I've been watching you) been thinkin' 'bout you baby
(And everything you do)
Just sittin' away watching the days go by

Baby I'm on my knees praying God help me please,
Bring my baby back, right back to me
If lovin' you was right then I don't want to go wrong
So I drown myself with tears,
Sittin' here, singin' another sad love song

Lately (I've been watching you) been thinkin 'bout you baby
(And everything you do)
Just sittin' away watching the days go by
Just sittin' away watching the days go by

Lately I've been torn apart,
I wish you hadn't broke my heart
I'm missin' you babe,
Missin' you every day
Lately I've been torn apart,
I wish you hadn't broke my heart
I'm missin' you babe,
Missin' you every day
Lately (i've been watching you) been thinkin 'bout you baby
(And everything you do)
Just sittin' away watching the days go by
Just sittin' away watching the days go by

    Man, this song reminds me of my little sister's high school sweetheart named James (Jay) and had a very bad motorcycle accident. He survived, but suffered permanent brain damage... I remember him with this song because he and my sis used to play it all the time when it came out.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
