The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Come here, please hold my hand for now
Help me, I'm scared, please show me how to fight this
God has a master plan and I guess
I am in His demand
Please save me, this time I cannot run
And I'll see you when this is done
And now I have come to realize
That you are the one who's left behind
Please stay until I'm gone
I'm here, hold on
To me, I'm right here waiting
I see a light, it feels good
And I'll come back soon just like you would
It's useless, my name has made the list
And I wish, I gave you one last kiss
Please stay until I'm gone
I'm here, hold on
To me, I'm right here waiting
And take my one last breath
And don't forget
That I will be right here waiting
Please stay until I'm gone
I'm here, hold on
To me, I'm right here waiting
And take my one last breath
And don't forget
That I will be right here waiting
Please stay until I'm gone
I'm here, hold on
To me, I'm right here waiting
And take my one last breath
And don't forget
That I will be right here waiting
Help me, I'm scared, please show me how to fight this
God has a master plan and I guess
I am in His demand
Please save me, this time I cannot run
And I'll see you when this is done
And now I have come to realize
That you are the one who's left behind
Please stay until I'm gone
I'm here, hold on
To me, I'm right here waiting
I see a light, it feels good
And I'll come back soon just like you would
It's useless, my name has made the list
And I wish, I gave you one last kiss
Please stay until I'm gone
I'm here, hold on
To me, I'm right here waiting
And take my one last breath
And don't forget
That I will be right here waiting
Please stay until I'm gone
I'm here, hold on
To me, I'm right here waiting
And take my one last breath
And don't forget
That I will be right here waiting
Please stay until I'm gone
I'm here, hold on
To me, I'm right here waiting
And take my one last breath
And don't forget
That I will be right here waiting

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Beautiful song. Its about a man who has realized that he's dead and cannot say goodbye to his lady. He can see her but she can't see him. "I wish I gave you one last kiss." On their new album Neighborhoods, there is a song called Ghosts on the Dance Floor. My interpretation of the song is that its the female's perspective of this death.
Since he's dead he shouldn't be haunting her. It's such a good band.
