As The Smoke Clears

Oceansize

speak with what eloquence you can muster
say what you feel after the moment
think the way that everyone has taught you
just scream aloud and prove everyone right
breathe and sing and play

chameleon an inherited demeanour
we share well i'll take and let you give again and again and again
but still i stumble he's driving too fast
a hundred questions i'm too scared to ask

i can't seem to breathe it out
i can't seem to spit it out

i can't seem to breathe it out
i can't seem to spit it out

oh... ah ah ah

i can't seem to breathe it out
i can't seem to spit it out
i can't seem to breathe it out
i can't seem to spit it out
sickness in a clouded mind
it stays with me, it grows with time
it's not easy now it should be easy now
to move me with your eyes and make me melt away
it's not easy now, it should be easy now
now... now...
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

    No clue but the this whole EP rocks. Especially the last three tracks, which I see as one song.

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
