As I read through the list it made it seem easier to make the choices choices make to stay half-way sane.
But, when I walked through the room, I must have been lazier because I gave up looking and sat down again.
Maybe I was caught up in the dance or in the drink, but get this through your skull - don't get caught up in me.
So, come on.
Let's go.
You don't want to know what I know... and if you make it home alright, your luck runs out the next night.
Come on.
Let's go.
Here's to hoping for a bright tomorrow.
When they find the pieces, they'll still never know the reasons.
I cut the faces out of photographs so traces of your life will turn up traceless with your death deprived of stasis.
So sleep secure... and rest assured that you're beautiful with trigger pulled.
Tonight I've seen so many drinks I think my brain is playing tricks on me. You've been the constant.
Constantly connecting me to everything.
So, thank you for the visions: three incisions, bullet blasted backs.
I'm back - this tangent took me and you're the one who gets one more night of peace.

    i agree, i dont hear "you dont want to know what i know"...

    and also,theres a line missing after "dont get caught up in me" which i think says "youll get another chance, and another breath but get this through your skull you never met me"

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.

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,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
