Is This Home?

July For Kings

(Did he go home?)

(He flew out tonight)
Walking all the world is white
(I'm definitely going to come see you in February)
And all the sky is black
This place is calling me
The memory is clearer now
The memory has always had this haze

And on the other side it's warm and green
A single voice is singing
Of my destiny

And so I turn around again
And I stop....
(The only people for me are the mad ones)

Is this home?
Is this home?
Is this home?
Is this home?

Walking around my fears
With every step my body dies
And all the feeling turns to cold

Still fighting for some direction
Some perception as to where my heaven
Can be found

And though each time I start to
walk
It starts to slowly disappear
I can hear that voice again
But each time
All is lost in the snow

So I turn around again
And so I turn around

Is this home?
Is this home?
Is this home?
Is this home?

And if this all is a lie
Then I am not afraid
To keep my head up
Pain is lasting still I'm asking

Is this home?
Is this home?
Is this home?
Is this home?
Is this home, home, home?
Is this home, home, home?
Is this home?
Is this home, home, home?
Is this home, home, home?
Home

Walking all the world is white
And all the sky is black
This place is...calling me

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
