We Never Danced

Neil Young

Between heaven and earth
There's a ballroom floor
Where the couples glide
In the evermore

Floating through the clouds
Dancing in the rain
Eyes that see no lies
Hearts that feel no pain

Hope it's not too late
We were more than friends
I can hardly wait
'Til we meet again

If you don't really know
Where you want to go
It makes no difference
Which road you take

Hope it's not too late
We were more than friends
I can hardly wait
'Til we meet again

We never danced
We never danced
We never danced the night away

We never danced
We never danced
We never danced the night away

    I love this song so much. To me, it's about a relationship that went sour before it got too serious- but was amazing. I always compare it to this guy who I was completely in love with- we never really quite made it to official couple, therefore we never entered that eretheral world Neil talks about in the first part of the song, the dancing together in the nevermore. Sadly, the relationship went sour and we rarely saw eachother. This song describes it.

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.

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
