In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Hoo hoo hoo
I love hearing that shower turn on
Bet there's nothin' but a towel on-on you
You sing along with some Timberlake bumpin'
But he ain't got nothin' on you
I don't wanna hear the coffee pouring
A goodbye kiss, then lockin' the door yeah
Sounds like leavin' you, oh
It's a little too loud on the highway
I wanna pull back in your driveway
It's way too quiet at my place
Wanna come on over, come on over
I just wanna hear that ringtone
I like it turned up when you're blowin' up my phone
Wanna hear you say come on over
'Cause when you tell me to come on over
I like the sound of that
Oh, oh, oh
I like the sound, I like the sound of that
Oh, oh, oh
I like the sound, I like the sound of that
Love the sound of the thunder rollin'
It makes you move a little closer to me
And girl I bet that your neighbors hate us
'Cause we could laugh all night and never sleep
We can worry 'bout the world in the mornin'
Light up a candle and lock the door
Wanna stay right here with you, yes I do
It's a little too loud on the highway
I wanna pull back in your driveway
It's way too quiet at my place
Wanna come on over, come on over
I just wanna hear that ringtone
I like it turned up when you're blowin' up my phone
Wanna hear you say come on over
'Cause when you tell me to come on over
I like the sound of that
Oh, oh, oh
I like the sound, I like the sound of that
Oh, oh, oh
I like the sound, I like the sound of that
Turn your radio on, baby turn down the lights
I ain't goin' nowhere, I'm all yours tonight
It's a little too loud on the highway
I wanna pull back in your driveway
It's way too quiet at my place
Wanna come on over, come on over
I just wanna hear that ringtone
I like it turned up when you're blowin' up my phone
Wanna hear you say come on over
'Cause when you tell me to come on over
I like the sound of that
Oh, oh, oh
I like the sound and I love the sound of that
Oh, oh, oh
I like the sound, I like the sound of that
Oh, oh, oh
I like the sound, I like the sound of that
Yes I do
I like the sound of that
Oh
I love hearing that shower turn on
Bet there's nothin' but a towel on-on you
You sing along with some Timberlake bumpin'
But he ain't got nothin' on you
I don't wanna hear the coffee pouring
A goodbye kiss, then lockin' the door yeah
Sounds like leavin' you, oh
It's a little too loud on the highway
I wanna pull back in your driveway
It's way too quiet at my place
Wanna come on over, come on over
I just wanna hear that ringtone
I like it turned up when you're blowin' up my phone
Wanna hear you say come on over
'Cause when you tell me to come on over
I like the sound of that
Oh, oh, oh
I like the sound, I like the sound of that
Oh, oh, oh
I like the sound, I like the sound of that
Love the sound of the thunder rollin'
It makes you move a little closer to me

Holiday
Bee Gees
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.
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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
This song is so beautiful. The guy in this song is so in love with this girl, he wants to be his very best for her. "I'll try to be that kind of man, because you love me like I am". The girl views him as this wonderful person, whether he thinks of himself in that way or not, he is promising her he will live up to what she thinks of him.
This song is so tender in its message. I love songs when the guy is opening up to the girl in such a way. Mmm. :)
